everyone's off wanting maths and english tutoring...well screw that i was wondering if anyone needs help with music? cos i'm so up to tutoring that- been doing BA music at UNSW now transferred to B.MusicB.Education. So if you do need any help (i think i can help with most things) then PM me!!

and for now, people just make a comment on whether you would actually consider getting tutored for music- is it really as unpopular as i think it is?!

I've got friends at UNSW Music. Do you know Monica Zygadlo, Michelle Yeoh (the musician, not the actor) and Adrian Hong?

Also, you are so not too cool for the Con. More like the Con is too damn hot for you.

ahh i don't think so- what year are they in? cos i only really know ppl who are in 3rd yr this year

lol i kinda wish i'd auditioned for the con but couldn't be bothered cos i love unsw and got enough UOC's to mash my degree into 3yrs! however i must confess the con is the bomb, i regularly use your library cos you have like twice as many books and cds as us:)

Music tutoring certainly sounds cool, but wouldn't most people ask their private music teachers to help them? I know that the student who has a lesson after me is doing Music for her HSC, and I think she's receiving special attention from my teacher, instead of the usual "Okay, play these pieces for me and we'll see how much you practised" lessons.

Depends on what Sort of music tuition you need. Your local piano teacher couldn't teach you composition, and it'd be a waste to ask them to.

This is an interesting thread ... I just wanted to ask as far as private lessons go ... the AMEB or system of leveling works in the private lessons word ... in school there is the HSC music syllabus which is very different.

In the HSC private setting does it bridge this difference ... or is it bassically working towards HSC music only just in a private lesson ... what can a private teacher do to assist students in the Peliminary and HSC music course?

There is a technique in answering those long responses, which is simple once you know it, but can lose you many many marks if you don't.

It is more of a English language skill than a musical skill. Therefore, a private teacher, without prior experience, will not be able to help in any way.

I've been trying very hard to learn the Violin during my spare time, and i want to be good at it.

I have searched the internet for lessons but i cannot find one that is AFFORDABLE. I have only found teachers that are charging $70+/hour ... which is waaaaay too much. So at the moment, i am self taught by buying books and gathering resources from the internet.

I have friends who want to learn an instrument but simply cannot afford lessons :'(

If you don't mind me asking ... what area do you live in? You can learn for half an hour a week ... many people starting out disagree to that but there is a lot you can get in half an hour. Some teachers allow for 45 minute lessons.
