Working on increasing your picking speed is not just for the hell fire speed wannabe’s. Once your speed increases your whole style of playing loosens up. Your fingers will feel light and flexible and you’ll gain much more freedom in your playing. Your fingers will float easily across the strings without trying so hard. It’s an important skill to work on and to maintain. Increasing your picking speed comes with obstacles, victories, ups and downs, lots of patience and hard work. It’s all about practicing and equally important “the right way of practicing”. Just practicing a lot of hours doesn’t necessarily increase your picking speed if you don’t do it the right way.

Since the later part of 2013, the National Disability Insurance Scheme Agency has been established and working toward the goal of providing access and funding to disabled persons so they may benefit from support services. In essence, the funding they provide, known as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), is a type of insurance coverage which gives a disabled person, who might not be otherwise able to access support service, to do so through their program. The types of disabilities in their coverage include physical, sensory, cognitive, intellectual, and psychosocial ones. The NDIS funds Adventure Respite in its nature-based therapy.

A marble, a small ball, a ball of playdough, a pom pom .... using every day items is important right now for occupational therapists as we work in our telehealth sessions using objects families may already have at home. These activities using a marble are simple, fun ways to develop a child's fine motor skills.  As an occupational therapist we often address fine motor skills when children have difficulty manipulating tools such as pencils, scissors and glue sticks.  Fine motor skills can affect a child's ability to carry out their self care in using a toothbrush, using cutlery, tying shoes laces or manipulating fastenings such as buttons and zippers. The main fine motor areas that an occupational therapist may address include: Pincer grasp - This is the neat "pinch" achieved between the thumb and index finger.   Thumb opposition  - This refers to the ability of the thumb to rotate and reach to touch all other fingertips of the same hand.  Palmar ar...

Freestyle soccer Although freestyle soccer doesn’t involve running up and down a pitch for up to 90 minutes at a time, it still requires a high level of fitness. The key reason for this is that developing the necessary skills to the right level takes many hours of practice. Leading practitioners of the sport such as  Lisa Zimouche  rehearse their moves for at least two hours each day and part of their training will involve short, intense bursts of physical activity that are perfect for boosting cardiovascular and muscular fitness. While existing professionals may be able to get to grips with freestyle soccer quicker than others, newbies will need to dedicate a lot of time and effort if this is the freestyle sport for them. Freestyle scootering The best way to develop your freestyle skills it to have your scooter with you as much as possible, and to ride at every possible opportunity. Skateboarding is also a good option to develop freestyle skills. Those who are alr...

W hen Lisa Quinones-Fontanez’s son Norrin was diagnosed with autism at age 2, she and her husband did what most parents in their position do — they scrambled to form a plan to help their child. Ultimately, they followed the experts’ advice. They put Norrin in a school that used applied behavioral analysis, or ABA, the longest-standing and best-established form of therapy for children with autism. They also hired an ABA therapist to direct a home program. ABA involves as much as 40 hours a week of one-on-one therapy. Certified therapists deliver or oversee the regimen, organized around the child’s individual needs — developing social skills, for instance, and learning to write a name or use the bathroom. The approach breaks desirable behaviors down into steps and rewards the child for completing each step along the way. Bijou contemplated using similar strategies in people, judging that verbal rewards — saying “good job,” for instance — would serve as adequate motivatio...

My buddy Steve likes to skateboard. He is pretty good too, giving lessons on the side and spending a lot of his free time at various skate parks around the Circle City. I haven’t had the chance to see him shred, but I know he is active and has a passion for boarding. He is also into fitness, and spends a lot of time running. Good thing… because Steve is about to skateboard across the state of Indiana. Steve spent some time in Haiti a few years back doing some work for Christian World Outreach. The organization still means a lot to him, and Skate Across Indiana will help support other CWO initiatives. Steve is raising money to fight the AIDS epidemic in Zambia and Zimbabwe. 100% of the money he raises will go toward funding CWO efforts. I was so impressed with his determination to do this, I figured what better way to tell his story than to let him tell you… an interview seemed fitting. I took some time and sat down with Steve Hill to learn more about Skate Across India...

I cover pick choice and pick technique in detail in my course Rockstar 101 – Essential Guitar Skills For Beginners but today I`m going to give you some specific advice about choosing the best guitar pick. A few hours ago I finished a lesson with a student who has been playing for roughly 9 months and is making great progress. We had a very productive lesson, and it`s a lesson I often enjoy teaching as it`s one those lessons where a  small change makes a BIG improvement for the student . It is the lesson where I go though which I deem are the  best guitar picks – especially for beginners.  I show the student a variety of guitar picks and we look at which ones are suitable for which type of  song, guitar and genre  of music. By the end of the lesson my student knew exactly which 3 picks he likes for which song, guitar and genre and we both both noticed big improvements in the sound coming from his guitar. This information helps to unde...

Guitars are amazingly durable instruments – but they need a little help once in a while to function properly. Whether you play jazz, metal, classical, virtually any style, your guitar will suffer the stresses of string pressure and, because it’s being manipulated by a guitar player, succumb to the normal effects of wear and tear. This means the gear will need some form of maintenance and even the occasional setup. You can have a reliable individual do this for you, for a price of course, or you can do it yourself. Personally, I’ve found players fall into basically two categories: those who have no problem spending the money to have the work done for them, and those who are hands-on preferring to do the work themselves. A Few Tools Since we’re not servicing jet engines, the tools we need are fairly humble.
