What Does It Mean to Be a Well-Rounded Student

What Does It Mean to Be a “Well-Rounded” Student Well-rounded is a term that pops up heavily in conversations around college prep and applications. From these conversations, its easy to formulate the idea that the well-rounded student is class valedictorian, star-player on the basketball team, and local newspaper internas well as prom king or queen. This is a myth; there are many different kinds of well-rounded students. Depending on your interests and skills, heres what it means to be a well-rounded student: Academics You dont have to take all AP courses your senior year in order to be considered well-rounded. While youll definitely want to do well in terms of grades and have a strong course load to show for, take advantage of flexible requirements or elective courses to widen the breadth of your education. If youre interested in math and science, you might try a creative writing course or woodworking course to throw into the mix. If you like writing, you might want to learn anatomy as a bonus to understand how systems in the body work. Its also not a bad idea to further develop interests in a focused way: so if youre into literature, consider taking journalism, business writing, philosophy, and/or political science. Consider asking your guidance counselor for more ideas, as he or she can be a great point person for advice. Extracurricular activities If you like sports, greatbut if not, dont worry about not participating in athletics. You might want to join band or orchestra instead. Check out the theater program, too. Think outside the box; for example, you dont have to be solely interested in acting to be part of a playthere are stage crew members, directors, prop-makers, and members of the pit orchestra as well. Consider more traditional school activities like student government, but also seek out smaller groups that might speak to your interests like the school newspaper, Best Buddies, or chess club. If you dont see what youre interested in, consider grabbing a few friends and starting a club that does fit your interests. Dont forget that you can also pursue interests outside of school like cooking, blogging, DIY projects, designing clothes, and the list goes on and on. [RELATED: How to Choose Your Extracurricular Activities] Community involvement Getting involved in your community is a great way to become a more well-rounded student. One way to do this is to find an internship or part-time job. If youre able and want to, consider looking for an internship that is related to your academic interestsbut you might also look for an unrelated job that would further develop your leadership and teamwork skills. Community involvement doesnt mean you have to get paid: try volunteer opportunities in your town like urban gardening, coaching elementary school sports, or helping build houses. Check out your schools career center or guidance office for short-term programs that might take you to another town or country. Finally, consider language or cultural exchange programs as well. Personal backgrounds and experiences Your own particular background and experiences can also play an important part in making you a well-rounded statement. When choosing your college admissions essay topic, for example, consider your cultural background. Where are your parents and extended family from? What kind of experiences did you have growing up? Did you travel a lot or get to know one place really well? How do you see your identity and what kinds of identities and groups do you relate to? All of these experiences help shape who you are as a student and a person. Being a well-rounded student looks different for everyoneremember that theres no right way to be well-rounded. If youre looking for different opportunities to try out, ask friends, family members, teachers, and academic advisors for suggestions. Youll probably get even more ideas than you have time for!

4 Reasons Why Every Singer Should Own a Keyboard

4 Reasons Why Every Singer Should Own a Keyboard Suzy S. When youre learning how to sing, having the right tools  is essential. Among those should definitely be a keyboard or piano continue reading to find out why in this guest post by St. Augustine, FL teacher  Heather L... Ive met singers over the years coming from all sorts of backgrounds and with all sorts of ideas of what being a singer really means and what tools it takes to stay good. Opera singers, rappers, folk singer-songwriters and everyone in between have crossed my path. I can say with certainty that the most successful of them owned keyboards. That doesnt mean that all of them studied or even played the piano. It simply means that they had easy access to a keyboard where they lived or created music. As a teacher, Ive encountered quite a few students who wish to take voice lessons with me, but have no piano knowledge or background at all. I almost always end up teaching a bit of basic piano fundamentals in these lessons. It is virtually impossible, except for those rare few singers who possess absolute pitch (formerly called perfect pitch), to learn and practice singing at home without using the keys. Now, some will say that a guitar or a harmonica works just fine, and for some, it does. But the piano has some distinct advantages over most other modern instruments in terms of ease of sound production, being an aid to both sight reading and songwriting, relative ease of maintenance and tuning, and being a great warm-up buddy. Here are the specific reasons that having a keyboard or piano is so great to have around as youre learning how to sing. 1. Ease of tone production Compared to other instruments, like the trumpet or the clarinet and even the harmonica, the piano is easy to create sound with. The sound is created simply with a heavy arm. A little muscle and joint warm-up is all you need to prepare to play. Theres no need to work tirelessly on creating a clear, pure tone. Its there at your disposal, which is perfect when all that you need is a starting pitch. 2. Aiding music reading and songwriting Music theory can be seen so much more clearly and in such a more linear fashion using a keyboard. Notes that are adjacent, or as I like to describe to my students, right next door to each other, in written music are also adjacent to each other on the piano. This helps to make learning sung music easier. In a similar way, that same set up facilitates writing music with both melodies and chords, something almost impossible on the guitar. Having a keyboard is the easiest way for a singer to deepen his or her theory knowledge. 3. Relative ease of maintenance and tuning As opposed to a guitar, for example, which sometimes needs daily tuning and monthly string changes, pianos need a yearly or twice-yearly tuning. Keyboards will sometimes need an electronic calibration, but thats very occasional. Plus, either one will get its own spot in your home. Unless youre gigging out and taking your keyboard in a case, then theres no need for daily storage like there is with a guitar. 4. Being a great warm-up buddy The keys are a tangible, simple group of notes are your fingertips, a very useful tool when it comes to warming up and exercising the voice at home and backstage. Sure, singers can get by with their voices alone, but it can be tough, especially if youre studying a particular book of vocalises or sight singing melodies. Youll need that tangible, simple group of notes on the keyboard. These are the best, albeit not all, reasons to own a keyboard as youre learning how to sing. Singers will find its user-friendly nature makes it the ultimate companion instrument to the voice. I want to thank Dave Isaacs of Music News Nashville for his insight into this topic. Please read more at his blog. Heather L. teaches singing, piano, acting, and more in St. Augustine, FL, as well as through online lessons. She is  a graduate of the prestigious Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, and has performed with the New York and Royal Philharmonics, the New Jersey and Virginia Symphonies, the American Boy Choir, and the internationally renowned opera star Andrea Bocelli.

Parental Pressure on Children and Students - Private Tutoring

Parental Pressure on Children and Students BobbiM Mar 6, 2013 Do you sense that you might be adding undue parental pressure on your children? If so, please know that you’re not alone. It only makes sense that you are deeply interested in the welfare of your children and, hence, you’ll be emotionally invested in their success. But, that interest and passion for their success can actually backfire if that pressure is unhealthy or is viewed by your child or your student as too much. To learn more about the root cause of your feelings and the psychology behind them, and what is driving you to in turn drive your child with undue pressure, let’s explore the role of feelings and how feelings drive behavior. Parental Emotions and Feelings These emotions I am about to describe are natural reactions to an event or to stimuli. I emphasize “natural” because they are part of our human makeup and are neither good nor bad. They are part of what it means to be a human. Anger: Anger is a natural response that lets us know that a want or a need we have is not being met or hasn’t been met in the past. Other forms of anger are rage, frustration, hatred, and boredom are forms along the spectrum of anger. Fear: Fear is another natural response to perceived or actual physical or emotional danger. This might also be described as panic, terror, or anxiety. Sadness: Sadness is often a response to loss, either of a person, possession, or status. Excited: The word “Excited” is often used to describe the feelings of anticipation of something good that is about to happen. Happy: Happiness is often attributed to the feelings one has when something you wanted or needed is obtained. Repressed Feelings Leads to Parental Pressure on Children When most of us were young, we were likely taught that some of the feelings above were “bad” and that so we repressed them. Even worse, rather than repressing them, we actually used what I call “substitute” feelings such as: Guilt Resentment Envy Shame Jealousy Depression These substitute feelings are often the culprit of negative behavior and are likely the cause of most parental pressure. Examples of Repressed Feelings Let’s take a few examples to demonstrate the impact of repressed feelings on our decisions later in life. When you were hurt as a small child, you became angry (natural). But, you were told by your parents not to be angry (repressed). When you were a child, you were forced by your parents to share your toys with others (not natural), without understanding that we all must feel like we own something first before we are willing to share (natural). These are just but a few examples. Emotional Dysregulation and Parental Pressure Let’s get back to you and your child. Now, having reflected on your past and how you’ve dealt with circumstances and the emotions that accompany them, can you discern whether your parental pressure today is at least a byproduct of your upbringing? Is your parental pressure on your child really more about you than it is for the welfare of your child? In order to break the negative family patterns and cycles in your family, I encourage you to reflect on the pressure you’re putting on your child. Maybe reconsider it. I think what you’ll find is that your child will succeed even more than you realize. Give your child some breathing room. You won’t regret it.
