4 Attributes of Effective Teachers

 

Principles that I try to apply as much as I can as a teacher, in dance and music…

 

I had the chance to play with a musician from Mongolia when I went to Kazakhstan two years back, I love their traditional music!

 

I had the chance to play with that singer (Mangala Camara) when I was in Mali, few years before he died.

I love his voice so much…

One of my favourite album, Mandekalou (I and II)…

 

Enjoy!

 

Did you know the kora was from a region in Gambia called “Gabou”?

 

This kind of recording is for me a treasure, as these guys are making music without looking for fame or exposition, or at least this is how I feel it…

 

Two really nice techniques that can be used before a performance for example…

“It’s a bit like giving every kid in the class a valentine’s day card. Some say that it cheapens the sentiment because it’s not about selection, it’s about inclusion. I think we’ve got plenty of selection already.

In the adult world, open doors create possibility and that leads to insight and productivity.” Seth Godin

 

I think I have always been attracted to music that is played in social settings where everyone is welcome for that very reason…

 

A very interesting interview of Dr Balamuralikrisha.

I like the part where he explains how he was constantly adapting to his audience during a concert, making everyone feel as he was singing for themselves only…

This cover is so sweet and simple, it makes me feel like home…
