Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, June 25.-27, 2008 The Park Record C-4 2^-27, -*« i- oroscofie Goodbye to yardsticks ZOO • Continued from C-3 • CANCER: (JUNE 21 - JULY"22) You'll soon be muttering to yourself how fact is stranger than fiction. In learning of a.;*; queer set of circumstances, you find yourself scratching your head and wondering at human foibles. Thankfully, you are spared any fallout. t E O : (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Your motto: Knowledge of history can prevent repetition of mistakes in the future. -That's why you're anear , , expert on certain subjects. You see your opinions asbased on reliable scholarship and so puzzle over those . who disagree. -, . .. ARIES: (MARCH 20 - APRIL 18) Luck will be yours if you stay away from borrowed trouble this week. That probably means not jumping in and offering your services when you normally would do so. Visualize a closed zipper over your mouth, if that helps remind you. VIRGO: (AUG. 23 - SEP. 22) Logic rules Virgos, so much so that often times the .".'• romance and fun that dance around you is not met and embraced head on. As the old adage goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Be illogical and less ho-hum, for balance. ^ TAURUS: (APRIL 1 9 - MAY 20) When is a mundane task a little more palatable? When you can pair it with something you enjoy. Example: Combine a tedious wait - say a doctor's visit - with a good . magazine, brain-teasing crossword or mouthwatering taste treat. GEMINI: (MAY 21 -JUNE 20) Poor Marie Antoinette. She was so isolated from the realities of life for France's downtrodden peasantry that she had no idea how her words and deeds would inflame the masses to revolt. Keep your head about you at all times. LIBRA: (SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22) April brings to mind spring, that most anticipated of seasons. Think of welcoming it as Ruth Stout purports to: "I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose, I would always greet it in a garden." Buy seeds; get growing, Bah!, that's not for you. Uncharted territory, trailblazing - that's your domains : V; Eyes light up fast when you hear oF a chance to travel to a new locale. That vagabond persona starts to overtake • % • CAPRICORN: (DEC. 22'"--"*-• JAN. 19). Sooner or later, experience offers us all some wisdom. Right now, you look headed for a real heavy-duty epiphany. Brace yourself for the kind of insight that heralds a monumental life change. Consider yourself ; ^ ^ AQUARIUS: (JAN. 2 0 FEB. 18) Someone in your life is yearning to discover a handwritten letter in her mailbox. With the advent of e-mail, letters delivered by the postal carrier have become scarce. Loving words, cool stationery and funky stamps = warm j?fuzzies. 7 '•:'-1 SCORPIO: (OCT. 23 NOV. 21) • ; Erect an invisible shie around you to repel the grouchy people who would attempt to bring you down. They're out there and their bad attitude is highly contagious. With positive thinking, your immune system will see you through'. . PISCES: (FEB. 1 9 - M A R . 19) Fame and fortune are overrated in your book. The poet in you looks for joy in relationships and the beauty of nature. With a pretty good' handle on inner peace, it is incumbent on you to share that sageness with a Capricorn. i SAGITTARIUS: (NOV. 22 DEC. 21) Terra firma, familiar ground - -\j ( * today, teacher say. "It's easier to get results with voice lessons with less practice," Cook admitted. "With piano, nah. You just gotta move those fingers." Cook is an adjunct associate professor in the music department at the University of Utah. She said music teachers grapple with something their counterparts fn school don't face. "The assumption is, 'How hard can it be?"' Cook said. Plenty hard, says Bryan Stanley, who teaches piano and keyboard at the conservatory. "It's a rewarding job but it takes a lot of energy," he said. "Sometimes at the end of the week I feel like plugging myself into the wall to recharge." Stanley teaches 25 students and draws from his advanced degrees in music composition and piano performance. He has tried to modernize his curriculum by letting students dabble in different media, such as electric keyboards, and write their own compositions. "I'm a very patent teacher," he said. "I would say the more a student practices the more they'll get out of me. I definitely encourage summer study." Stanley said he wasn't sure the style of teaching piano had evolved as much through lime as it does from teacher to teacher. Manuel Maravi said he thinks music education has "changed a lot." Maravi learned to play the piano in Argentina. He didn't own a piano, so instead he practiced on an accordion, with his siblings holding each end. He studied the instrument at Brigham Young University. Today, Maravi teacher 34 students from his home in Bear Hollow. "Music education has changed a lot," he reiterated. "The teacher used to dictate what the child needs to do. Now we listen to the child so they can stay motivated. [As a teacher] you have to pay attention to what kind of music they like." Some students are easy, Maravi said. They follow instructions. But not everyone is the same. Maravi recalled a seven-yearold student named Jordan who would hide between his mother legs and shake with fear before each lesson. Jordan arrived at his first recital wearing the giraffe costume he had chosen for Halloween. "That gave him the confidence he needed and he did well," Maravi said. "I fry to see the best in everyone because you really don't know their potential. You have students who are very talented but their attitude isn't good. You need to get them excited so they're not doing this for their parents. They're doing it for themselves." Debra Cook's husband, Fredrick Cook, didn't learn to play the piano in the New Age era of student-knows-best. His piano teacher used a ruler to teach him to play. "I had a terrible time," he rued. "Every time I missed a key she hit me." Fredrick Cook said today's teacher have to be caring, compassionate and merciful to get through to their students. "You have to communicate," Fredrick Cook said. "If you're not communicating you're just making sound. You're just blowing air." That doesn't mean teaching piano is easy. "Sometimes it's painful." Cook said. "You'll ask a five year old what they learned and they'll say, 'I don't know.'" Cook advised parents to look for instructors who have experience teaching, not just performing. "We want our teachers to operate on a gradient approach," he said. "If you put a performer with a five year old they'll blow them out of the water. We've had that happen a few times." Frederick Cook said students remain interested in music lessons, but are more likely to try to learn a number of different instruments at once. "What I've noticed in the last 10 or 11 years is that people used to come in and play one instrument. Now they play two or three." Another indication of demand: The Utah Conservatory, formerly Park City Conservatory, had 30 students apply for three scholarships in 2008, Fredrick Cook said. About 350 students take guitar, bass, trombone, flute, piano and voice lessons at the conservatory. Most of those students have an earnest love of music, not dreams of being divas. "We used to get some of that," Debra Cook said. "Most of the kids.; these days seem to be welladjusted and reasonable about, their goals. We don't get many t that seem to be somewhat arro; • gant about it." Debra Cook added that she", tries to get students focusing on.; the process, not the prize. t Among the ranks of music stu- ; dents at the Utah Conservatory ( is Caroline Wagner, who takes, • voice lessons from Debra Cook.! During a recent rehearsal,, Caroline practiced the Rodgers and Hammerstein number "I, Have Confidence In Me" as . Debra Cook banged away at a", Young Chang piano in accompa^, niment. Caroline's mother, Tiffany , Wagner, drives 50 minutes frorrii Alpine once a week so her, daughter can take piano, voice ', and performance classes at the'( conservatory. "We drive this fair because we think the conservato- . ry is the best. Deb is the best. We , go for the best," she shouts over ( the noise. Caroline finished the song on , a big note and the room went quiet except for the quiver of the piano. "My voice is shaky," Caroline said after-a moment. "No. That's your vibrato," Debra Cook said. "That's what it, feels like." Caroline's mom explains to-, Debra Cook that the orthodontist put a device in Caroline's mouth the day before to get her . ready for braces. "A spacer," she said. Uncomfortable orthodontics '. was no reason to miss practice in , Caroline's mind. The 12-year-old seventh grade at American ' Heritage Middle School has . missed only a few lessons since she started taking three years.ago. "There's been maybe once ' or twice in three years she's , wanted to take a break," Tiffany Wagner said. "I asked her this ' summer if she wanted one and , she said no." '. Caroline's voice lesson finished and her. piano teacher' entered, ready to rehearse "Jesus t Take the Wheel," the Carrie.' Underwood song, with Caroline. ' "I really like animals," Caroline tells him. "So I want to be a biologist."
