The 5 Best Websites for Guitar News and Gear Reviews

The 5 Best Websites for Guitar News and Gear Reviews Maile Proctor Part of learning to play guitar is staying up to date on current events, gear, and industry news. To help you stay in the loop, guitar instructor Matt K. has put together a list of his go-to websites for guitar news Once you’ve taken a few guitar lessons, you may feel the urge to learn more about the instrument, and the gear that goes with it. The guitar can become an addiction, and once you’ve mastered the chords, scales, and licks, you’re going to want to learn about all the gear and equipment. A guitar isn’t just a six-stringed instrument anymore. The addition of an amplifier, pedals, and other fun gear can help produce a number of different sounds. There are several guitar news websites for up-to-date info on guitars and gear, along with  in-depth music news, and sometimes even tablature to learn new songs. Maybe you want to learn more about the guitar players that play your favorite songs, or learn when they have a new album coming out. From electric guitar news, acoustic guitar news, and gear reviews, here are my favorite sites to stay  in the loop with all things guitar. Music Radar Ill start with my favorite website for any type of gear news, from guitars to DJ equipment, Music Radar. Any time Im looking at a new piece of gear or a new instrument, I go to Music Radar and read one of their reviews. Music Radar also complies lists which make it easier to decide what to  buy. For example, before buying a new travel acoustic guitar I checked out their list 32 of the best budget acoustic guitars in the world today. Guitar World Guitar World is less techy, and instead  features lots of artist news and guitar videos. You can still learn about the latest gear and even get a quick video tutorial on how to tune the guitar in different keys, but I go to this website to see Dude Plays Metallicas Master of Puppets on Banjo. GuitarPlayer I remember being in the grocery store with my mom and picking up the latest issue of Guitar Player Magazine  when magazines were still a big thing. Now, the magazine is online and very easy to navigate. GuitarPlayer always has very informative, interesting articles. For example U.S. Made PRS vs. Korean Made PRS: What is the difference (PRS stands for Paul Reed Smith and is an excellent guitar). GuitarPlayer also has excellent product spotlights that I recommend checking out. Ultimate Guitar Where Music Radar is all about the gear, Guitar World and Guitar Player are about the news. Ultimate Guitar, however, is all about the TABS. When I want to learn a new song,  this is my go-to website. They have a great ranking system, so you know which guitar tabs are accurate and which ones were created by an internet troll. Premier Guitar Last, but definitely not least, Premier Guitar keeps you up to date on guitar news, gear, and artists. There are also some great how-to videos, and  my favorite feature, the Rig Rundown. This section features a new artist or band every week and shows the guitars and gear they use on a nightly basis. If you want to see how your favorite bands get their sound, check out Premier Guitar. Check out these sites and let me know which ones you like. If you have any other go-to sites for gear and guitar news, let us know in the comments below!   Post Author:  Matt K. Matthew K. teaches guitar, piano, and music theory lessons in Brooklyn, NY.

The five kingdoms are Kingdom Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Kingdom Monera:-The members are prokaryotic and microscopic organisms. True nucleus and membrane bound organelles are absent in these organisms. Kingdom Protista:-It includes primarily unicellular aquatic eukaryotic organisms. The cells of the protists have true nucleus and other membrane bound organelles and non-membranous organelles. Protistans Kingdom Fungi:-It includes eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic organisms. Yeast is an exceptional fungus which is unicellular. Kingdom Plantae: It includes all plants. They are autotrophs,Some plants are partially heterotrophic such as insectivorous plants and parasites. It includes multicellular algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. They are primarily producers on lands and are immobile .They have cellulosic cell wall. The life cycle of plants exhibit alternation of generation. There are two distinct phases In the life cycle of plants-the diploid sporophytic phase and the haploid gametophyticphase. Both of these phases alternate with each other and this phenomenon is called alternation of generation Kingdom Animalia: It includes multicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes. The cells are without cell wall. They directly or indirectly depends on plants for their food. They digest the food in an internal cavity and store it as glycogen or fat.

How to Volunteer with the Tutorfair Foundation

How to Volunteer with the Tutorfair Foundation Volunteering is the answer for so many people with an interest or experience in education. We’re all aware that there are young people out there who could use our help, and that spending some time working in schools can have a large impact and can be extremely rewarding. But where to start? What kind of opportunities are out there and how can you get involved? Whether you’re an experienced tutor looking to share your skills or a student considering a career in teaching, The Tutorfair Foundation might have something that’s just right for you. Who are we? The Tutorfair Foundation is the charitable wing of Tutorfair â€" an online marketplace for private tutoring. Funded by donations from paying clients of Tutorfair, we work with volunteers to provide support to students from a broad range of backgrounds that might not otherwise have access to the help. We hope that by improving access to quality tutoring, we can make a positive contribution to the fight against educational inequality â€" one student at a time. What are we up to? This year, we’ll be running in-school tutoring in London, home visits in Birmingham and online opportunities everywhere else. “In-school” programmes involve our volunteers tutoring students in schools where the student population is more than 50% pupil premium eligible. This might involve working in a classroom (supporting a qualified teacher) or engaging students one-to-one or in small groups outside of lessons. Where we think there will be good engagement, we’ll work with schools to set up an after school club for those students who are staying behind to get on top of their homework. “Online” volunteering takes place using our Tutorfair On-Demand service. This is a text-and-image based platform available for free to eligible schools, whose students can log in during homework hours to post questions and topics they’re struggling with. If you’re volunteering at that time, you’ll see the questions being posted and be able to connect instantly with the student to help them through their problem. We have in-school programmes underway already this year in London, with opportunities available for volunteers to tutor everything from GCSE Maths to BTEC Health Social Care. We’re also looking for volunteers to get involved in Birmingham, where we’re offering help to a number of students who have been suffering from bullying. Tutorfair On-Demand will launch at the end of October, so if you’re looking to start volunteering, there’s plenty of ways to get involved! What can you expect when you volunteer? Every volunteer’s experience will be different, but there are a few things you can expect when you decide to get involved. Minimum commitment of 10 hours: usually 1 hour a week for 10 weeks.  Tutors are welcome to complete their 10 hours and decide whether to continue later on! Training and free DBS check: this is dependent on the tutor's level of experience Support from our programme managers: depending on how long tutors are with us, we’ll also do observations; providing feedback and development opportunities throughout your placement. Want to get involved? Here's how to sign up! If you’re already a tutor with Tutorfair, all of our volunteering opportunities will appear on your profile in the “opportunities” section. If you’re not already a tutor with Tutorfair, you can register your interest here  and someone from the team will get in touch to discuss the opportunities with you. We currently have opportunities in London and Birmingham. For in-school opportunities, if you have lots of experience, we’ll be able to get you a DBS check and start you straight away. If you have less experience, we’ll invite you to one of our training sessions. Some of our placements are only available to volunteers with some tutoring experience, but we have lots of opportunities available for people with no experience looking for a way into education. If you’re applying to tutor online, we’ll train you online. This will allow you to volunteer much more flexibly â€" agreeing availability in advance for any time between 6 and 9pm on weekdays and 5 and 8pm on weekends. You can support students who need help from wherever you are â€" home, work or university. For any enquiries please email: foundation@tutorfair.com

International School of Gabon Ruban Vert

International School of Gabon Ruban Vert International School of Gabon Ruban Vert Following the political vision of Gabon to become an emerging presence in a more and more globalised world, the idea of creating an International school arose. Gabonese children will benefit from an education whose vision is to inspire passion for learning and to develop leaders for tomorrow's world. Moreover as the expatriate community is expanding in this part of the world the need for an internationally recognised institution is becoming crucial. And due to our Central Africa location the Francophone dimension is a very important element hence our bilingual (French / English) section. The International School of Gabon Ruban Vert is meeting this need. By creating a state of the art campus, recruiting top international faculty and proposing a creative and well recognised curriculum the school is showing how it aims for excellence and its will to be at the forefront of 21st century education. Having links with the local community through Community Service as well as community sharing of equipment and facilities are also very important traits of the school's ethos and identity. The whole project has been developed with these elements in mind.
