In addition to being one of my good friends and an excellent teacher and bassist, Peter Tambroni (former Contrabass Conversations guest) is a prolific blogger. Here are some of his most recent posts from MostlyBass.com and The Evolving Educator, his two blogs:

  • Pete’s Top Mac Apps – Pete is a big fan of the Mac (as am I), especially in terms of productivity software. He shares his top 11 apps for the Mac, many of which I use as well.
  • Assignment sheet for private lessons – Looking to organize things for your students? Pete’s got a PDF you can use for keeping things organized for your students (and for you!).
  • How much should you charge for lessons? – Pete’s got an interesting formula for this.
  • Practice stagnation – A few quick tups for getting out of a practicing rut.
  • Rubrics suck! – I’ve used rubrics frequently as a faculty member for juries at different institutions, as well as being graded by them as a student (especially during my teacher certificate program). Pete’s got some strong opinions about these particular tools.

You can check out all of Peter’s former blog contributions here, and I hope to have him on for some new Contrabass Conversations episodes (iTunes link) in the near future!
