VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Joe Truini: It seems the older I get, the more keys I carry around. Between the car, the house, the shed, the garage, wind up with a whole pocket full of keys. And finding the key that I use all the time, in this case, the backdoor, is not always easy because of all the keys. So, here’s a trick I came up with that works really well. Get nail polish, get a nice bright color, and paint both sides of the key. This is extremely durable. You’ll be surprised, it lasts a lot longer than spray paint would. And then, you know, it’s very easy to find that key among the others. Here’s another trick that works just as well. Take a triangular shaped file, and file a small notch in the edge of the key that you use all the time. In this case, this one’s for the front door. You don’t need much of a notch—something only about an eighth of an inch deep—but you can really feel that very easily with your finger. Even in the dark, you don’t even need to see it, you can just feel it with your finger. Now with these two tips, you won’t be carrying around any less keys, but you will be able to find the key you want a whole lot faster.

During lessons, your students are excited and then comes the daily routine…

Does this scenario sound familiar to you? During piano lessons, your students are happy and motivated. With your guidance they can concentrate well and have a lot of fun making music. Then the lesson ends, a week goes by, and you meet again. Surprise: your students haven’t practiced all week – not even one single minute. How can that happen?

The daily lives of your students are full of distractions: Videos to watch, friends to hang out with, and games to play. Even when it comes to making music, there are so many apps competing for your students’ attention. In this busy world, people have less patience and crave more convenience. When they can get instant gratification from almost everything, today’s students might struggle to find the appeal in spending hours practicing an instrument.
