Peter Matthew Bauer of The Walkmen Talks Living Room Shows and Liberation!
Peter Matthew Bauer of The Walkmen Talks Living Room Shows and Liberation! Megan L. Growing up on indie rock, The Walkmen were among my favorite bands in high school and college. Though they are now on extreme hiatus, members of the band continue to make great music that I can love as an adult too. The bands bassist Peter Matthew Bauer embarked on a solo career with his 2014 album Liberation!, an album that pairs spiritual themes and literary references with catchy rock hooks and psychedelic vibes. I got the chance to talk with Bauer about his musical background, his solo career, and his favorite Latin American authors. TL: How did you get into playing music? PMB: I started taking guitar lessons when I was a kid from a guy in Washington DC who was sort of the local guitar teacher of choice. I did that for a couple years. I had a friend who was an older kid who had a band, so I wanted to be like them. And now youre a guy who a lot of people would want to be like, with your time in The Walkmen and your incredible solo record. Whats it been like for you getting out on your own and writing songs? Its a lot of fun. Its great! Its a little lonely I guess. Its a lot more on you when its your own name and youre doing everything. That makes it fun. One of the things I really love about your record is how you incorporate some Eastern sounds in your music, a little reminiscent of George Harrison and the Beatles but theres also something really modern and cool about how youve done it. Did you have a kind of guiding philosophy around how you used those elements? I was writing these songs about how I grew up, so I thought if I could figure out ways to use slightly Indian sounding things in a couple spots, without it sounding kinda hacky, it would be fun, sort of funny. I had a harmonium laying around the house and I liked the sound of it, and that was the idea. Theres not that much of it that was meant to be Indian, its just sort of stuff I had. Yeah, its a really light touch with that instrumentation but its really cool. One of my favorite songs on the record is Latin American Ficciones. Is that a reference to any specific author? Yeah, its a reference to Jorge Luis Borges, and Roberto Bolaño also. I think I just changed it to Ficciones because I had a bad mix of it when it was called Latin American Fiction. [Laughs]. Its a dumb joke. Its sort of a song from when I was figuring out how to sing and what I was going to sing about, and I think both of those writers have meant a lot to me in terms of how strong their voices are. As much as people think of them, Borges especially, with intricate plots and being this erudite fella, really hes bluffing his way through the whole thing and its just his personality. Its himself coming through whatever hes talking about that he thinks is interesting. He could write a movie review and youd know who it is. I think thats the sign of a really great writer or artist or whatever. They can be doing anything and you can tell its that person. And I think its also very anti-psychological too, which I think is nice. Its not like hes whining or self-referential, which I think is a happy way to be. In songwriting, a lot of people think its about trying to exorcise these psychological problems or something like that, and I dont think thats the case. Even maybe people who think thats what theyre doing arent necessarily doing that, because that isnt really whats universal. So it sounds like for you songwriting is more about the experience and finding a way to transmit something universal. A lot of the songs also reference spirituality, from Hinduism to Scientology. Where does that theme come from for you? I guess its just how I grew up and what I think about. Its not that popular of a theme in rock music, which is weird because its a pretty big chunk of life, to reckon with that sort of thing seriously, or not seriously, or somehow. Its what I think about and talk about and read about, so I thought Id write songs about it. It seemed more where Im coming from than writing songs about anything else. What was it like for you growing up? My father and mother were both very heavy into meditation and spirituality, so I was kind of dragged around as a kid to different ashrams and things like that. So I thought if youre gonna write a solo record with your name on it, and its your first one, it should be about where youre coming from, that seems to be what people do. Thats where I was coming from, so I figured I would find my own take on that and figure out what all that meant to me. Do you feel now after writing those songs like you have a better grasp on what all that experience meant? Yeah, a little bit. I think it helps to kind of process something in a song, to process the experience in a way that you wouldnt otherwise. Its much less of a psychological thing and more just the experiences coming across in music, which I think is something that the musical form can do that maybe other forms cant do as well. So I see youve done entire tours of living room shows, playing in peoples homes. How have you enjoyed that as compared to the club circuit, and how did the living room tours come about? Well, it came about because its a smart way of doing things when youre by yourself. Its either that or you hire five of your friends and drag them around and lose a lot of money. Or you can kind of go out on your own and meet people and have these shows. You come to realize if youre going to be playing for 50, 100, 200 people, you really dont need a drumset to get your point across. It kind of ends up being a little off-putting to be playing with a huge band in a small room. It can be fun on certain nights but if youre just trying to get yourself over to people its not that great. I actually prefer it a lot now that Ive done it, to the alternative. Its a small group of people and you meet everybody, and I think they have a better experience than if they went to a rock club which can be very standoffish. Yeah, theres a kind of intimacy in a house show that you dont get at another venue. Yes, its a different thing. I think its something people will start doing more of. Theres starting to be a little network of it across the country, which is great. It feels fresher, youre not going to the same place that 500 other people just went through. You get to blaze your own trail. It takes a little more for everyone to be there, so everyone involved has more intention than just a Friday at the local indie rock place. I like it a lot better. So you have a performance coming up at KAABOO and some other tour dates as well. Whats next for you? I just moved to Los Angeles so Im trying to figure out what the hell to do with my life. [Laughs]. Yeah, so Ive got to figure that out and from there Ill see what happens next. Im going to put a more LA based band together, or something like that I think, just to start playing with locally and work with some folks out here. And just trying to enjoy California. It seems pretty damn great. Keep up with Peter on Facebook and Twitter, and dont miss him when he performs in your town! Interested in Private Lessons?

Basically itâs a group of people that go around trying to figure out how to make usually boring tasks fun. There website phrase is: This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change peopleâs behavior for the better. So far they have created Piano Staircase, Bottle Bank Arcade Machine, and many more. They actually make me want to take the stairs instead of the escalator. Photo credit: Keenfootwear.com 4. Fred and Friends By far Fred and Friends is my new favorite company. I would describe what Fred and Friends is but itâs kind of unclear. Basically the only way I can put this is: Fred and Friends makes really cool, interesting, and unexpected products. For example they make Cool Beans Ice Tray, Duck Duck Drink, and Stick Emâ Up Phone Stand. Basically, you will just need to check out this website on your own. Iâm sure youâll find some cool stuff. Photo credit: Fred and Friends Website Okay that list was kind of all over the place I admit. But overall when boredom strikes, the Internet never fails to provide some kind of entertainment.

?? How To Encourage Your Children To Practise The Piano
?? How To Encourage Your Children To Practise The Piano How To Encourage Your Children To Practise The Piano How to encourage your children to practise the pianoOne of a parentâs responsibilities is to encourage children to do things they donât want to do. Sometimes piano practice is one of those things. If your child tends to avoid piano practice, coming up with ever-imaginative excuses, and youâre looking for ways to encourage and motivate them, youâve come to the right place.Weâve put together a few tips to help you encourage your child to practice the piano!-Set up a reward system-Avoid rigid times for practice-Finding the right piano tutor for your child-Turn your living room into a concert hall-Share your love of music-Ask your child to teach you something Set up a reward system Thereâs a lot of psychological study behind setting up rewards systems - psychologists call it operant conditioning. B.F. Skinner, the psychologist behind positive reinforcement, found in his experiments that when a reward is given for an action it is more likely to be repeated.Putting that into practice means setting up a reward system to make sure when they have completed the action you wanted them to (i.e. practising the piano), that action is positively reinforced!Sitting down and talking through a possible reward system with your child could be a way of beating the practising battle. Your child has had their opportunity to talk through what would make them more likely to stick to their practice and what can often stop them from doing it. It shows your child that you value their opinion and you were willing to hear their side of the story. Itâs important to remember that there are likely to be times where even the promise of a reward isnât enough, and thatâs okay. Itâs important to stick with it, but a little empathy on your part will go a long way!Avoid rigid times for practiceSo the deal is piano practice is twice a week for an hour, on Mondays and Thursdays? Any deviation from that means they arenât going to practise right? Not necessarily, thereâs nothing stopping practice being spread across the week on the days that make the most sense. That way youâre taking into account busier or quieter weeks, time with family and friends (equally important for their wellbeing) and working flexibly around your child's mood. There seems to be little point in enforcing rigid practising times when your child isnât going to get the most out of the practice session.Even as an adult, itâs often difficult to find the willpower to stick to the activities we know will benefit us. Have you ever skipped out on a gym session because youâre too tired or not in the mood? Many workplaces understand this, with some implementing âflex i-timeâ, where workers can spread their hours across the week in order to work when they are most productive! This is where you refer back to the reward system and agree on the amount of practice time across the week that you as a team think is beneficial. Itâs worth talking through what needs to be worked on during those hours and how that time is best divided. This week sight reading might be more important, but next week itâs all about learning a new song. Finding the right piano tutor for your childFinding the right piano tutor for your child is arguably the most important way you can encourage your child to engage with and commit to their piano practice. The relationship between student and tutor is incredibly important - it can mean the difference between your child looking forward to practice, or frustration at practice and disinterest during their lessons. Itâs important that the piano teacher adapts the lessons to reflect your childâs learning style and has a good rapport with your child. Itâs important that the role piano tutors play is more than just teaching scales - they must be a musician that your child can look up to!Equally, make sure you have a good relationship with the tutor - on the same page about how much practice is necessary, how quickly they should be progressing, and your childâs strengths and weaknesses when it comes to playing the piano. Turn your living room into a concert hallForget the Sydney Opera house, the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena. Grab the popcorn, your best glittery light-up headbands and prepare to turn your living room into your very own concert hall!Convincing their children to practise the piano can be a parentâs greatest struggle - especially after a long day at school when theyâre tired or hungry or snowed under with maths worksheets.How can you tell them they should spend an hour practising the piano when itâs stacked against all of those other pressing tasks? Making their debut on the living room stage as part of a fun-filled family evening will mean youâve given them a purpose to practise beyond their next lesson, and with you as their audience, their first experience of performing in front of other people will be a positive one. Twin that with lots of praise and some singing and dancing, and piano practice will become a relaxing occasion not a gruelling battle between parent and child - and youâll really feel involved in the whole experienc e! Sharing your love of musicPassion is really contagious. When two people share excitement for a particular thing it can be a real bonding experience - and youâre more likely to repeat the action! Sharing your favourite pieces of music with your children and really showing passion and enthusiasm for it is a sure fire way to keep up the momentum.Talk about the way your favourite songs make you feel, why they make you feel that way, what you love about that particular piece of music or song how that composer or artist managed to create that feeling. Then itâs their turn - ask them about their favourite song or piece of music. It could be a piece that they have been learning to play or it could be one they heard on the radio. It will really challenge your children to question music and think about music more deeply. It will engage their critical thinking!Having these conversations with your child will help you get to grips with their music preferences. Youâre showing a genuine inter est in their opinions, something that children aged 4 or 14 can really get onboard with. Ask your child to teach you somethingItâs time to get hands on!How better to get involved in your childrenâs experience than learning the piano with them? Ask your child to teach you a piece of music, or the new notes or chords they learnt this week. You can see first-hand how challenging but rewarding the experience of learning the piano can be - you might even want to take up some piano lessons yourselfIf you are trying to encourage your child to practice for upcoming grade exams, you can find our guide to everything you need to know about the ABRSM exams here
Passing Scores of PSSA Chemistry and Engineering
Passing Scores of PSSA Chemistry and EngineeringPass the PSPA Chemistry and Engineering PTA, which will be taken by incoming second-year students of chemistry and engineering, which are taken as elective subjects by the second-year students. In the class, students will learn the skills that are required to understand materials and their properties, how their composition may be modified through reaction, how they react with one another, and the importance of thermodynamics in chemical engineering.Students will also learn to apply the theories developed in the PSSA chemistry to chemical and physical phenomena. This will help them in considering practical problems and solutions and will be useful for students who want to get into a specific area of chemistry. The students may also find it useful to take a problem solving class which has been designed by expert teachers to help students solve problems of different types.The passing score for the exam does not necessarily mean that studen ts will be able to complete the course. Most students fail their courses because they are not able to complete the course after studying all the material thoroughly. Some students also stop taking the class after a few weeks. For the students who have passed the class, the passing score might be good enough but it is not necessarily the result they are looking for.There are a lot of other courses offered by the college that are open to students who have passed the class. These include biochemistry, material science, mechanical engineering, food science, nutrition and food systems and the environment, and materials science. Students can take these classes, even if they have not taken the PSSA chemistry and engineering class.Other than that, there are also other courses that the students can take. These include calculus, college mathematics, geology, and natural sciences. Most of these courses are offered online and students can select their preferred subjects after completing the PSS A chemistry and engineering class. The only drawback of these courses is that they are offered online but students can always choose to attend a campus-based class.It is true that taking advanced course also involves more work from the students and they need to put some efforts in this aspect. They can join the campus-based classes or they can opt for an online class where they will be able to study at their own pace. Online classes are also convenient for those students who are working on a daily basis or taking care of their families.In conclusion, students should take the PSSA chemistry and engineering class before they will be able to participate in the curriculum and can take it after they have successfully completed the course. This will allow them to explore their interest in various topics of chemistry and engineering. Students who feel they do not have time for getting their diploma are suggested to enroll for this class and complete it.
How Can Platos Allegory of the Cave Help Students?
How Can Plato's Allegory of the Cave Help Students?Plato's famous Allegory of the Cave is often used as a guide in teaching young students in Math and Science classes. In this allegory, a caveman is trapped in a cave by his mother for some unknown reason. He needs to find a way out to help him get out. When he tries to see a light from a crack, he is cut off by his mother's screams.When the light hits the wall, it looks like something wrong is happening. But, when he moves a rock that is hanging in the ceiling, the light turns out to be the light that the cave was in.After he finds out that everything around him is a lie, Plato, the caveman, opens his eyes and asks his mother what has happened. He understands now, why she has been screaming. She is telling him that all the things that had been happening in his life are all lies. Only one truth remains - he has to leave the cave to help his family find the light that is inside.It is important to note that Plato's allegory can also be used to teach the different principles of mathematics. The axioms of Euclid, the axioms of Algebra, and even the definitions of special numbers are based on the true philosophy of mathematics.It is important to note that every number, including integers, fractions, and the square root are just extensions of the concepts of Algebra. This concept is what allows our brains to convert an array of numbers into an easy to understand list of individual parts. Every number can be associated with the simple addition of individual parts.There are five algebraic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and of course addition and subtraction. These five operations can be easily applied to teach the definition of a list and its different parts. For example, a list can have any of five parts, such as the individual parts of a square or the parts of a rectangle.With the knowledge of the mathematical definition of lists, we can understand how these lists can be manipulated to cr eate new combinations. The use of objects such as pebbles, rocks, and more to teach basic multiplication and division helps students quickly apply the concepts of algebra.
