 and on about "that note," "this sharp," "that forte An application development system for enterprise client/server environments from Sun. It was folded into the Sun Studio compiler and tool suite, which is based on the open source Netbeans IDE. " and "why are you rushing?" While most teachers would love for students to ask them questions, few students actually do, and seldom are the moments when a teacher engages in a discussion with a student about style or meaningful practice.

Ask the Professor--a breakthrough concept for students and teachers--is a way to open communication with the student and allow the student to ask the "professor" questions about musicianship, rhythm, recitals, practicing and technique.

Although several areas of music and performance are addressed (a few too many on recitals--30 percent of questions), there needs to be more questions regarding note reading, form and rhythm. Undoubtedly, the "magic" of Ask the Professor is in the communication, relationship and sharing of ideas that will develop between teacher and student.
