  • What are the techniques developed by each piece of the Suzuki Cello School?

    I'm new to the Suzuki approach, and have been using different cello technique books before. I was told that in each piece of a Suzuki method, a certain technique is developed (bowing styles for example), but I'm not that good in analyzing pieces. Could you give me some pointers on what to do for each piece?

  • What is a good and tested Violin Syllabus from complete beginners to professionals?

    I have been teaching the violin for about 2 years now. And I have been looking for good violin books to test with my students. But I don't know how good a book is, or how and what is the approach for each book. The primary book that I use is the Suzuki series, but I heard that the Sevcik and the Wohlfahrt Series are also a must. However, the Wohlfahrt starts in C Major and Sevcik introduces the fourth finger too soon if I'm going to partner the books with Suzuki. I've also seen the repertoire of the ViolinMasterClass, but I don't know how to implement each book and the level descriptions are a bit confusing. Can you suggest a syllabus and how to introduce each book. I usually start with the Suzuki.

  • How do electrons absorb energy and keep it from being transmitted?

    Quantum mechanically, how does electron have an absorption spectrum? If electrons absorb energy, they're excited to a higher energy state, however due to their instability, the energy is released as light. But, how is this case, if the electron absorbs light and creates an absorption spectra?

  • What are the best keywords to search for this kind of problem?

    I have been modeling a random motion, Brownian Motion to be specific moving in a free space from a fixed initial and final point (Monte Carlo Simulation was used) and moving in a constrained path (a lattice, for example) for neuron signals. However, I need to compare it with research done by other people. I do not know the specific keywords on searching articles that may be related to my work. I did try "how signals through a neuron" and I get the usual synaptic clefts, axons, etc. not on what path these signals travel. Could you help me know some important terms that may thin down my search?

  • How to use a Stochastic Matrix and a Directed Graph?

    I'm trying to model a Brownian Particle moving through a Directed Graph. However, I don't know how to model the path of the particle by using a stochastic matrix, I just know how to get the transition probabilities and I don't know how to implement the directed graph.

  • What information can be derived from a non-zero correlation coefficient?

    I'm currently using Matlab to calculate the correlation coefficient of a two - dimensional random process (to be specific, it's a Brownian Motion). I'm trying the correlate the x and y position of the particle, however, the coefficient is non-zero (I have known that for a random process, the coefficient must be zero) it has a value of less than one. I want to know what kind of information can be found from here and if the coefficient is more than one or is equal to a non-zero number.

  • How to optimize the Path of a Particle experiencing a Time - Varying Force?

    How to calculate the optimized path of the particle (that is, the path to take for the particle to travel in the shortest time) if it experiences a time - varying force? I have tried solving it in one - variable calculus of variations but the answer doesn't make sense and I don't know how to solve it for two variables (since the function is then both dependent on time and space). I have read some articles that the optimized path of a particle between two points is the most probable path the particle will take, however, I do not know how to extract the path from a probability. Could you suggest some ideas on how to solve such problems?

  • What creative shot ideas will be great if you're going to be photographed with a musical instrument?

    I need good ideas with this from clothing to background, if possible. The instrument is probably a string instrument (e.g. violin, guitar, etc.)

  • What paths do electric signals take when they travel to or in the brain?

    I was told that signals traveling to or in the brain take the shortest path possible to their end destination. Also, signals cannot go back to the neuron they once passed during the travel of the signal's pulse. Are there any biological papers or articles that could have proven this?

  • What will happen if full-grown plants are transferred to another location?

    If these plants are transferred from one place to another, although in the same environment (like transferring a full-grown tree from a park to another park), will they likely wither and die? If so, could there be a fertilizer or the like that could help the plants to adapt to its new position and location?

  • Could you help me how to study the Mozart's Piano Sonata for Two Pianos (D Major)?

    I'll be having a study on the Mozart Effect and it seems that this piece by Mozart seems to have some real effects on the brain based on experiments. I'm trying to see if the form of the piece have anything to do with this Mozart Effect. I'm not that good in music analysis, so could you help me? I just need the first movement.

  • What are the specifications for a 200 uH inductor?

    I have searched and calculated the specifications, and it turns out I need a nearly 9 meters of wire to coil it with 75 turns. So, I just need to confirm if these are the specifications if I will be having a 1 in. coil diameter and 0.5 in coil length. I don't want to waste anything, and we currently don't have an LC meter.

  • What are the equations for a 2-D Collision?

    I have trouble solving a two-dimensional collision problem where the two particles are moving each other.

    A particle of mass m with velocity v1 with an angle alpha with respect to the x-axis hits another particle with velocity v2 with another angle beta. (the particles are not necessarily approaching each other). What are the final velocities of the particles and their angle with respect to the x-axis?

    I have been solving these with the CM Frame and shifting of coordinates, and I'm stuck. Please I need help on this one.

    Both particles have the same mass and radius.

  • What to do if the R-L-C Circuit behaves like this?

    It is a series R-L-C Circuit and an oscilloscope was connected to the L-C to find their relationship. The oscilloscope shows that the L C waves are about like < 90 apart. What could be wrong then?

  • What would be a good practice at this Suzuki Violin Method Piece?

    I'm currently in Book 3, and I'm having trouble producing a good sound at the piece Gavotte by J. Becker, especially the series of sixteenth notes before the key signature changes to G Major. The notes are G, A, C, Bb, A, G, if I remember correctly. Any tips on how to beautify sound?

  • What is wrong with this R-L-C Circuit?

    We are given a series R-L-C Circuit, then the frequency of the voltage source is raised until the voltage across the resistor has reached maximum. (Meaning the resonance frequency has been reached). However, the L and C voltages are checked, but they're not equal! What is wrong with this circuit?

  • What's the difference between a Weight Gain Supp. and a Mass Gain Supp.?

    If someone wants to gain a kilograms, what should he take? I searched about the two, and the weight gain supplements seem to give you muscles and retain these muscles while a mass gain supplement merely helps you gain weight.

  • What is the value of (summation of x^n)^p?

    The summation of x^n is equivalent to 1/(1-x) if I'm not mistaken, then what is the next step. The answer must be 1/(p-1)! summation of (n+p-1)!/n! times x^n.

    Take note that the summation is the usual sigma notation, which runs for n = 0 to positive infinity.
