My marketing friend, Andrea Coutu, recommended a while back that I track visits to my website. There have been some interesting searches conducted which lead people to my site. Here are just a few of the more interesting or common searches done for Musings:
Piano pedagogy certificate program
Musikgarten
Musical ear
Piano Practice Excuses
APTA Festival + Calgary
RSI Iaido
Iaido Calgary
Creative Practicing
How to Cheat on RCM Exams
Benefits of Music
Summer pedagogy programs
Summer Piano Programs
Number 9 was a surprise. That particular blog had "rhythm cheat sheet" and a reference to my students taking an RCM examination. I know that students have tried time and time again to cheat on theory exams, employing similar techniques used for other school tests. However, cheating on a piano exam isn't heard of too often. There was an incident a couple of years back, in which three piano teachers and one RCM Examination Representative were suspended for obtaining and giving the actual sight reading and ear training exam questions to students in advance of their exams.
Here are some of the more colourful/common searches done for Musespeak(tm)'s site:
Lakeland Terrier
Music Background
Writing Background
Music images
RCM Exams
Music Lessons Calgary
Voice Lessons Calgary
Guitar Lessons Okotoks
Music Theory
Accompanying Policies
Who would have thought that Maestro would be searched for?
