    Watching a person teach about something they are passionate about is an absolute pleasure. The light in her eyes as she patiently imparts her knowledge is something that would prompt me to develop a desire to learn. That I feel, is the true art of teaching.

      Exactly so, Lilian - there are no training aspects in the art of connexion with one's students - it is either innate, or absent.. :)

    Simply brilliant. I love fountain pens but can't write with them. Was about to go back to pencil and gel pens and continue with markings that even I cannot read. What a wonderful instructor. The history and understanding she shares is an enormous help to me. The exercises are fantastic. Stumbled on this and hope to find more. I realize I'm years late to the comments, but THANK YOU !!!

    Seems like great information - too bad I can't hear what she is being said because of the loud music over top of her fantastic speaking voice. What a shame. Please consider making another video of the same without the piano music. It's beautiful, but, you'd never hear loud piano music playing over top of a lecture at college - why not give yourself the same opportunity to be heard? Thanks for trying, though!

    • @andrewtongue7084
      @andrewtongue7084 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I consider, O' offspring of Winston Graham, that your hearing is either defective - tonal rendition would be my guess. The human voice speaking normally, (nominally) resonates at approximately 50Hz (50 cycles/second) - Ms Nichol's timbre was to the lower end of mid-range (deeper), & by contrast, the piano was playing about half an octave above that; if you cannot distinguish between the two, then I suggest you make an appointment with your GP, who should refer you to an Audiologist; clearly, there is an issue that may require attention :)
