Most melodies consist of notes that is 1 or 2 steps up or down from the previous note. So this trick helps a ton when playing by ear. So hum a melody slowly and pay attention to those small shifts in pitch. Listen if it is up or down, 1 or 2 steps. Nail that, and you'll be picking out tunes in no time! And remember, when you play in C, you can skip the black keys.

Quite often in life, we know some variables, but we must figure out an unknown. For example, we may want to save money for a moped, but to know how long it is going to take, we must be able to calculate it according to our weekly allowance, price of the moped and perhaps other things we are going to end up buying with the money.

Linear equation - A practical example

How long would it take for you to come up with the money if your weekly allowance was 10€, the price of the moped 1550€ and you would buy sweets with 2€ every week?

For many, this can be seen in history, particularly in the United States during the great depression. The government funded a project that involved photographers. These would come to be known as FSA Photographs. The  Farm Security Administration (FSA) had hired a few photographers, including Dorthea Lange, a photographer who we will be covering in this lesson. Here is a website and video on Dorthea Lange, read through it and write a paragraph on what you have learned.
