I am very interested in independent movies since almost ten years ago. That's why the title of my blog is 'Independent Movies'. Of course, as a musian, I am so into what I am doing now which is playing flute and teaching flute. But talking and thingking always about what I am doing mainly makes me a little tense, so I need a place to relax and broaden my view about the world! Independent movies are very good way to do it for me. Good ones teach me the reality of people, world and art which is so inspiring.

On this blog, I will post the movies I watched and introduce and write a comment about it.

These days, I have not much time to watch movies. I used to watch at least once a week before I started the school. I don't know how often I can post, still I will try to do it almost everyweek!

First article!

I finally created my blog and am writing something on it. I did now know that I was this ignorant about technology until I started taking this tech trend class. But I am a little better now, and it gets more and more interesting!

The first time I see how technology can be used during the lesson was in 2000, Minnesota. My teacher is Keith Underwood and back then was also him. He brought his laptop computer for hime masterclass and showed us the simulation of how a body works when you breathe. Everybody people there were so amazed ,not necessarily by the body thing, but by the simulation!

And second time was by Jim Walker in California during the class also. He gave me this CD called Smart Music which has accompany parts of every flute repertoire. You can chage tempo, volume and even pitch. And It also has metronome function, too. That was also amazing.

So when I was teaching I used a little of Smart Music program on the lessons, but my computer speaker is not as good as it should be to play along. Anyway, it is getting so much easier to practice, study and perform with technology. The key is you. The question would be, " Are you willing to learn those technology and spend some money on machines and programs?" I probably should since it is benefit that 21st century can give!
