You know I was thinking - this website is around for almost 3 years I guess and I am curious when do you think that students who STARTED learning here as beginners will improve so much, they will start teaching here? My guess is two more years..
I myself cannot imagine to be part of instructors team (right next to Marcus, Muris, David etc...) and be on same level as them It feels.. kinda strange. Its the same like I am 18 now and I cant get used on the feeling, that my old teachers take me now as one of them etc..

Very good question indeed but tricky to answer,
varies from one person to another I guess, how much time has been spent on practicing and in which direction. But nonetheless I'm really looking forward to see many of you guys teaching here, that would be a blast! -------------------- Youtube

Two so far: Hammerin Hank became Henry Dietzel, and Zizi Top became Jab Diab =)
They seemed to know their stuff from the beginning, though In a few years, I might have learned enough to become an Instructor.. Atleast that's what I keep telling myself -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

Composition is part of it, but i think there is more to it then that. For one, i was pretty surprised when Kris accepted me, i am definately not on the same level as Muris, or Emir for example skill wise, or composition wise. At least not on the guitar. I think that teaching though for the most part has to do with explanation, and encouragement. Although, i think that i am not on the technical level of most of the instructors here, i have a great deal to offer that is abstract, and the ability to explain to students in a way that they will find useful. For me teaching is not about technical skills, its about allowing the student to analyze there own playing, and finding their own voice. This is what i was talking about with "Abstract". Anybody can compose a song, even a lousy one. But putting the things you have learned into practice on a meaningful level that is the trick. For me this is where teaching is at. I don't want to create clones of myself, i want the student to see the real them, and express themselves as individuals. There is no greater joy for a teacher to send a student off into the world who exceeded all their expectations. And surpassed the teacher in all respects so they can learn nothing more from me. Daniel Its so bad, that you live in florida.. this was one of the most encouraging speeches I ever heard:D What would I give for live teacher as you :-/ The one I had (I just cancelled his lessons) was still trying to transform me into jazzman.. i had to learn all those weird sounding chords with even wierder names in which I saw no practical use in my playing style.. he was really good in what he was doing, but he wasnt able to sweep or anything.. I have strange feeling, that Czech republic has no shredders:-/ Well... then Ill be the first:P:P (about your comparison to Muris etc. - i believe that teacher is not only about skills, but also about encouraging and helping the student to find himself.. in which terms you are one of the best on GMC in my opinion) But on topic - I believe, that (almost) everyone has his little something he can teach - but what draws the line is how well you can put it and how well you can express the idea. In terms of music - your technique of playing that thing must be flawless as well.. Guys srsly, who of you (members) doesnt dream of being instructor at GMC?

Being an instructor not only needs a technical skill, but also knowing the audio and video production processes, and being able to make a lesson form that is suitable for the member understands it. Also you have to be dedicated to music and let that be your number 1 occupation in order to do the job well. If you think you have these skills, try doing some SI lessons, and then apply for instructor position as well.

Composition is part of it, but i think there is more to it then that. ... For me teaching is not about technical skills, its about allowing the student to analyze there own playing, and finding their own voice. This is what i was talking about with "Abstract". Anybody can compose a song, even a lousy one. But putting the things you have learned into practice on a meaningful level that is the trick. For me this is where teaching is at. I don't want to create clones of myself, i want the student to see the real them, and express themselves as individuals. ... Daniel I'd largely agree with Daniel here. Teaching - once beyond imparting basic skills/knowledge/technique - involves enthusing the student and helping the student develop to the full extent of their abilities. I supervise PhDs/D Phils/Doctoral students and I see my role more about their development rather then teaching them a set quota of facts. TBH, and IMO, the latter is easy and concrete, the former is more 'abstract' ( as Daniel rightly puts it) and amorphous, building on both what they understand, what they want to know and - importantly - developing their desire to know more. Very bluntly put - pretty much anyone can teach a series of brute facts but enthusing and being willing to look beyond what you know and understand, to look at the 'abstract', and to bring all togehter, is, imo, much more challenging of student and 'teacher'. That is not a step that many educators are willing to take. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
