  1. I mean teaching qualifications. Not having a go, but someone having Grade 8 means they can play a bit, but doesn't necessarily mean they can teach...

    Eperience in teaching an instrument is far far more important to me than a piece of paper stating that someone has a teaching diploma. I have met many musicians with teaching diplomas who I certainly could not sit with for a one to one lesson yet there are many more musicians on the other hand who have not got the teaching diploma but have a great relationship with their pupils and put things accross in a great way and treat each person as an individual.

  2. I need tutors with exams behind them. Ideally grade eight but others will also be concidered depending on their playing experience.

    DZL - I'll be happy to talk to you about this when I see you - as I remember from one of our conversations your theory was good !

  3. Inverurie School of Music is growing fast !! We have only been open since december and we are already needing our third guitar teacher.

    Excellent rates of pay and hours to suit.

    Call Jenny on 01467 629996 or ask any questions on this thread.

    Cheers

  4. Given that marriage involves two people I'm afraid there's no way that you can guarantee that it will last forever, no matter how committed you are. If your spouse wants out there's not a lot you can do about it at the end of the day.

    Exactly - so why should people blame me when my ex is in South East Asia with a new wife and doesnt contact or pay for his kids? Two people make a marriage - I agree.

  5. Thanks for your views guys.

    After reading all your comments I have to say that I am a Christian, I have found a minister who will marry us in a church, I have three children so unless I'm Mary then you can draw your own conclusions on the virignity question and I can thankfully afford whatever kind of wedding I want.

    For those of you who have a great marriage which has lasted since time began and you are very happy then I wish you all the happiness in the future and have so much respect for you.

    For those who think that marriage is for life, well thats what I thought the first time, I wanted it to last for ever but you never know what's around the corner and just because my marriage failed does that mean that I cannot celebrate my second wedding in the style I wish?

    Thanks to those of you who said that its up to me how I get married - this, I feel, is the kindest comment but sadly only covers about 10% of comments left on this thread.

    Go away with this thought .......................... are any of us qualified to judge other's actions if the actions themselves are not hurting or effecting anyone?

  6. I was away to say the very same thing. I was always under the impression that white is worn to represent virginity hence I find it incredibly cheeky to wear a white dress when youre not.

    Personally, Id say that you should wear cream (unless youre a virgin and I can only assume youre not if youve been married before). Its your own choice though.

    My personal feelings on marriage is that it should be for life. I certainly don't plan to get married until I'm older, much more mature and am positive I want to spend my life with someone. I don't understand why so many people rush into it as imho it's not a commitment to be taken lightly.

    Naturally, I wish you all the best and hope you have a great day :)

    I think from reading your comment that you are not experienced enough to have a valid point. Come back to me in 20 years when you have found out that you can never tel what your future holds.

    Thanks anyway.

  7. I like it !! The only thing I'm thinking is why didn't I get you to build my site? I have had three sites built over the past three years and for each one I'm sure I've been ripped off my the web designer I have in Inverness. This latest one he's doing for Inverurie School of Music is just three pages - and he's quoted 300 plus vat !!!!

    Can anyone do it cheaper than that for me?

    Cheers

  8. I'd be interested to know Jennifer if your family are of a particular religion indeed.

    The twist in the tale is, I'm the religious one - I was baptised when I was 17 through my choice, I have also spent many years teaching children in Sunday school. I, sadly have not been to church since I came to Aberdeenshire (4 yars ago) because I was so used to the church I had attended since the age of 11 that I have yet to pluck up the courage to join a new congregation.

    My family, however, are not religious. They are not coming from a religious corner, they simply feel let down by me because my marriage failed. I have two sisters and one brother who each are still in thier first marriage - they are seen to be doing the right thing- they have cracked it and I have let the family down. For this reason, without taking religion into the argument, they feel that I should have a "second class" wedding if you like.

  9. I'm getting married in March - cant wait !!!

    Get this though, because I've been married before, some "so called" friends are asking me if I should wear white and should I get married in a church because apparently I should get married in a regisrty office if its a second wedding.

    What do you think? Should we be treated differently because we have been married before? Why is our wedding not seen to be so special?

    I dont want to feel effected by other people's veiws but unfortunately I do - I want to walk down the aisle with my head held high - why should they look down on me because I have been married before?

    This is going to be the most improtant wedding of my life - I wish the guests could treat it the same.

    Any views?

  10. i like deal or no deal! don't watch it very often because i'm not in the house when it's on any more but i think the suspense that they manage to build from what is nothing more than pure luck of the draw can be quite gripping. then again, i'm low brow and make no apologies for it!

    Thank god !! I had really started to think I was the only sad person on aberdeen-music.com

  11. Vocals for me please Jennifer.

    The last time I sang in public, the crowd went mental and I thought they were shouting "More, More!" when in fact they were shouting "Door, Door!"

    Will give you a call soon - when are you reopening?

    We open again on Thursday 4th. If there's no one one the desk then the phone will go onto answerphone but please do leave a message and I'll call you back when I finish teaching.

    Looking forward to hearing your voice !

    Cheers

    Jennifer
