Where is CMajor?  Who is CMajor.  Some folks want to know.  Tune in to the next CMajor Radio Show online broadcast (podcast) to find out.  CMajor will delve into her best social media connections.  So far on the broadcast CMajor has talked about her teaching practice(s) and principle(s).  You may want to know more about how she is building her network and the market that she is tapping into.  From Facebook to Twitter to her own website, CMajor will discuss the ways that she's been able to build her own Yellow Brick Road as an indie artist, DIY musician and now independent piano teacher.  She'll share stories, music and more.  That's coming up next right here on the CMajor Radio Show.  See you then!

Thank you for tuning in to the CMajor Radio Show Broadcast (podcast).  In our last broadcast, CMajor spoke about the Music Making and Wellness Movement for Adults.  In the next broadcast, she is prepared to go back again and talk about the learning styles of students and taking lessons based on how you best learn.  If you are a young student, you are encouraged to work with your parents and teachers to help you understand the best way to learn to play the piano.  That way could be the traditional ("right") way of learning by reading music and following notes on a music staff.  If you are an older adult, that way could involve learning to play by chords or by ear.  It's up to you to know how you best learn so that the music teachers that can help you can serve you properly as a willing piano student.  Tune in to the next broadcast, right here on BTR (BlogTalkRadio).  See you then!

This show is for teachers.  Do you teach piano students of all ages?  What are your incentives to keep students engaged?  Do you award prizes, e.g. stickers, tickets, music bucks, etc?  How do you feel about motivating your students through these and other types of music awards?  I want to hear from you!  CMajor would like to keep the conversation going among her colleagues about teaching according to learning style and guiding students over the long-term.  Tune in to tomorrow's broadcast.  CMajor will also make a very special announcement to follow-up on her previous announcement about her own music-making.

Do you already know how to read music?  Do you wish you understood what Time Values mean?  What are these notes called again?  That's coming up next on the CMajor Radio Broadcast right here live on BlogTalkRadio.  I hope you'll tune in to find out more.  CMajor offers advice and tips on playing the piano.  Mostly her adult students like to learn and play by ear and by chords.  Then as they grow, they want to know more.  It's a natural progression.  You'll learn about quarter notes (crochets) and half notes (minims).  You'll learn about other time values.  CMajor will go over the basics with you.  Pull up a chair, take notes and ask questions before, after or during the broadcast.  That's next time.  See you then!

Hi there and thank you for listening to the CMajor Radio Show online. I'm excited to have you join me on the next broadcast where I will talk about "Writing by Feelings..."  And, by 'Writing by Feelings' I'm mean my feelings that went into the writing of CMajor songs.  There is one song in particular that I will talk about on the next show and that song is 'Gut Feeling'.  In the past, students have asked me to show them how to play songs on the piano.  I've even planned to provide a tutorial for how to get those same piano sounds.  That's next time on right here on BlogTalkRadio live with CMajorPorter.  Listen as CMajor discusses AMinor, FMajor, DMinor and EMajor chords used in the introduction to Gut Feeling written in the key of Aminor.  It'll be fun.  That's coming up next on the next CMajor Radio show online broadcast.  See you then!

Dominant Sevenths, Minor Sevenths and Major Sevenths are the topics of the next CMajor Radio Show online broadcast.  Join CMajor as she shows you how to place your hands on the keyboard by describing the layout over the air.  She will go into the ways that you can find the seventh chords you've been meaning to play and wanting to hear.  Maybe you've been playing these chords for many years already and now you want to put a name to the chord.  If so, this episode of the broadcast is for you.  We'll continue with our coverage of CFG and DEA and expanding your sound using these chords as a foundation.  CMajor is passionate about explaining how to play by chords and by ear.  Tune in to find out more coming up on the next show.  See you then!

CMajor is passionate about music and music making and I want to help as many students as I can to find their niche and accomplish their musical goals.  Have you ever thought about taking an exam as a music challenge?  Does that sound exciting to you?  Or, does it sound frightening or daunting?  Never fear, it's easier than you think.  CMajor's students recently took and passed their ABRSM practical exams.  Parents, teachers and students will want to tune in to tomorrow's broadcast when CMajor will go over basic information to introduce you to the exam process.  There are many exams out there, some more formal than others.  You want to make sure that the information and regulations are clear before you commit to the process. CMajor can recommend a path to take and point you to online resources that can help you decide if the exam experience is right for you.  Whether you are a student, teacher or parent, tune in to find out more.  That's tomorrow!--right here on the CMajor Radio Show online broadcast.

Thank you for listening to the CMajor Radio Show online broadcast.  Chord Power!--That's the topic of today's broadcast.  We will talk about the power of playing chords in a more full way on the piano.  Some pianists like to use the third of a chord while others like to leave it out.  Which sound do you prefer, a more open sound with fifths or something else.  In more formal language, we'll talk about intervals and spacing.  As you grow as a musician and a pianist, you'll be sometimes asked to describe the distance between the notes that you are playing.  How do you do this?  Sometimes the notes that you are playing with both hands may be more than one octave apart.  How can you describe intervals that are at a closer distance?  How will they sound, better or worse by compounding the sound?  As one famous music legend once said, "If it sounds good, it is good.."  That's coming up on the next broadcast.  See you then!

Social media and music: the topic of today's broadcast.  CMajor will share some of her favorite posts about her music classes.  "I have so much fun when I'm teaching my students, because they are bringing to the table music that I never thought of listening to!"  Tune in to hear stories of CMajor's students and the music that they are into.  CMajor is a classically trained pianist who went on to perform concerts in the United States and abroad.  Today, she writes, records and performs her own solo piano songs.  She is inspired by her own life events and finds it fascinating to share her knowledge of music making with others.  Private piano teaching is her main focus when she is not writing, recording or performing. You will hear about some of the questions that her students pose during their lessons with her and some of their requests for learning to play the piano.  It's a new day for piano teaching: students are learning to play the traditional way as well as by chords and by ear and sometimes by popular apps.  Student-centered learning--It's all fun!  See you all on the next broadcast.
