Rick Adam's musictheory.net is a must have bookmark for parents of musically inclined kids.The Trainer series is particularly helpful and can be used instead of flash cards.The web site appears to have been updated and has a cleaner look. For once, I don't abhor a site developed completely using Flash! Thanks to my friend David Luck for telling me about this gem of a resource!

That's how learning works.Malcolm Gladwell in blink - The Power of thinking without thinkingIt's true. I see my 7 year old building up her experiences. Thinking things through. Figuring out how to apply the knowledge she has acquired. And voilà, she has the answer. Needless to say,

If the glass sings when you rub a wet finger along its rim, it’s made of fine quality crystal. Is that a myth? Must be. Because I can make all the round rimmed glasses in my unchina cabinet sing. I don’t have any glass that I could qualify as high quality crystal or even expensive for that matter. But who cares?

All you you need is an empty bottle of Frank's hot sauce, without the label or any bottle that has a very narrow mouth and is cone-shaped towards the mouth. Fill the bottle with water and turn it upside down and drain till there is about 1/2 inch of air at the top (which is the bottom of the bottle). Then swirl the bottle

Looking for the right kind of first Dictionary for a young reader is a task that should not be taken lightly. I embarked on this journey last month. In April 2004, I was informed that I have a 5 year old kindergartner, who was assessed at having the reading ability and instructional capability of a 2nd grader in the 4th month of the school year. Takes a while to figure out what that means! Well
