My son was registered in the toddler music class at the SE location. As a piano teacher myself, I…read morehad a certain expectation of the quality of music lessons. The majority of the classes in October involved having the kids sing along to a CD. There were a few other activities such as colouring, but we can listen to CDs at home and sing along with them without having to pay for it. The regular teacher does try a little more, however, the class size is so small, last week there was only my son in the class and that didn't give him the group experience I'm paying for. The first class was held in a nice studio room large enough to accommodate the group. However, they rented the room to another teacher for the same time slot, and therefore had to move the class to the foyer of their office. The kids would sit on the floor at the entrance - not even carpeted. It is a substandard place to hold music classes for toddlers. My feeling is they are more concerned about their bottom line than providing a quality environment for music education.

I love a good Paint Nite! What a fun way to hang with your friends and do something other than just…read moredrink and eat. Paint Nite always has tons of different and new art paintings and they have decent distribution around town so you can usually find a painting you like at a pub near you. I have zero artistic talents, but if I can do it then so can you. The instructors are really good about going through the steps with you, keeping you on time, and helping if you encounter problems. It's intimidating to put the first swipe of paint on the pristine canvas, but after you get over that hurdle, it strangely becomes easier and you start to get in the zone and just flow. So if you're afraid to try it because you don't have an artistic bone in your body like me, I say give it a try - you'll be amazed what you can accomplish! And keep reminding yourself that it's just for fun, so you remove the pressure from yourself and just enjoy time with your buddies!

So, I went to my first Paint Nite this weekend for my sister's bachelorette - and a bit…read morereluctantly. I'm no artist and I was pretty sure this was going to be a case of throwing my money away and ending up with something I'd toss in the nearest dumpster. So, you can imagine how thrilled & surprised I am that I have something that I...actually like. It's not fine art, by any means, but it's actually something i won't be ashamed to hang on my apartment walls. The basic premise of Paint Nite is simple - you congregate in a bar, order yourself some bevvies, and proceed to follow along with painting the picture chosen by your Paint Nite instructor for the night, who also supplies all the painting materials. Our painting was a blossom tree in front of a full moon - perfectly pretty and girly for a bachelorette. We arrived, grabbed seats (we should have arrived earlier or asked them to reserve us a block of seats, as we could not all sit together when we arrived about 5 minutes before it started). And then off we started. I immediately thought I was screwing up (apparently, I can not paint a symetrical circle), but the staff was really good at calming my ruffled feathers and giving me ideas for how to ensure it wound up right by the end of the evening. And indeed it did! My moon is a little un-spherical, and my tree isn't very proportonate, but for my first time ever wielding a paintbrush, I'm pretty pleased - and I can definitely see how paint nites would be a regular event for many people! If I have any critiques, it was that there need to be more seats facing the artist, vs. a 50/50 split of facing and away. I know in this regards they're working with the bar's space, but it does make it more difficult to hear & see what's going on (even though the instructor brings the art work around frequently to let you see the next step). The headset microphone the instructor was wearing also needs a bit of work - it was very, very difficult to understand her through it (it either needs servicing or she needs to wear it further from her mouth). All in all though, it was a fun night & a great bonding activity for me to get to know my sister's friends at. I'd definitely be interested in doing another one!
