Makes sense

Forget the old stereotype that moms are the only ones shaping children’s futures a groundbreaking University of Leeds study shows dads are educational game-changers too. Researchers analyzed thousands of families and found that when fathers spend time reading, playing, or drawing with their kids from a young age, those children score higher in school at ages five and seven. This boost in academic performance was seen regardless of gender, background, or family income proving that a dad’s involvement matters for every child.

The impact doesn’t require hours of commitment: even just ten minutes a day of focused attention whether it’s a bedtime story, building blocks, or coloring can make a meaningful difference. The research also highlights that mothers most influence emotional and social skills, while fathers have a special role in fostering academic growth. It’s a powerful reminder that both parents bring unique strengths to their children’s lives and learning journeys.

The findings call for a shift in how schools and childcare centers engage families, urging them to actively involve fathers in educational activities. Recognizing and supporting dads’ roles not only benefits individual students, but also creates stronger, more inclusive communities ready to champion every child’s success.

Article about how the power of music

Music has the ability to bring us joy and comfort, to motivate us and to help us relax. It has the power to transport us back in time, to calm our worried minds or boost our moods. There really is a song for every emotion.

Today is a good day to learn something that you never thought you could learn. You are a different player than you used to be! Just break it up into phrases, slow it down, count it out and play it a lot.

MODES can be very confusing!! In my opinion, it is the way they are explained.
Grab a piece of paper and write down CDEFGABC (The Major Scale). Then write W-W-H-W-W-W-H these are the intervals (distance between tones) of the letters above.
This is the Ionian Mode.

Start at the letter D next, for the Dorian Mode. DEFGABCD W-H-W-W-W-H-W are the intervals because the letters start in a different place
Apply it to the letter C you get C D Eb F G A Bb C that's why we say Flat 3rd Flat 7th. Comparing it to the Major Scale.

E starts the Phrygian Mode. EFGABCDE ..H-W-W-W-H-W-W
Apply it to the letter C you get C Db Eb F G Ab Bb C that's why we say Flat 2nd Flat 3rd Flat 6th Flat 7th. Comparing it to the Major Scale.

For the Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (The Natural Minor Scale) and Locrian Modes, follow the same system.

I hope that clears things up a bit for you!! If you already knew that, then that's great news!!
