These tips will help you have a safer driving experience. Please read them over and practice following them. They may save your life.
1. Always use the seat belt - THIS MEANS YOU. Every living thing inside the car should be buckled up or secured.
2. Keep the car doors locked. Yes, even while driving. I have been approached by strangers on streets, in parking lots and in yards that have tried to enter the car. My locked car doors have saved my life.
3. Be aware. This means no talking on cell phones, no spanking the kids, no eating and no reading. If you must do these things, park the car in a safe area. Always be aware of who is in the vicinity of your car at all times.
4. Keep a safety pack in your car. This should include an instant fix a flat tire can, a roll of paper towels, a bottle of water, a roll of tape, a pen, a notepad, a package of crackers, a first aid kit and an umbrella.
5. Be patient. Only blow your horn when you have to. Some people are violent and on edge. Your horn blowing could possible trigger them to get out of their car and confront you. This is a terrible experience you want to avoid.
6. Always park your car in a safe place. This means a place where you feel comfortable in and that is well lit at night.
7. Never roll down your window if someone you do not know should approach the car.
Talk through the window.
8. Make sure your car has a good spare tire and changing tools.
9. Make sure you have current insurance proof, car registration and driver identification in your car at all times.
10. Keep an emergency identification card that states your emergency contact people and their phone numbers in your car. This card should also have any medical condition you may have on it.
In summary, these tips should help you to be safer in your car. Always use your better judgment. If a road or area does not look safe to you, it probably isn’t. Avoid taking that risk.
Stay safe!

A great way for beginners in piano lessons to gain musical experience is by listening. For some reason students often overlook this important part of piano study. Kids feel that if they?re not actually playing the piano they can?t be learning. Nothing could be farther from the truth. But students have difficulty believing this because it appears too simple. Appearance, however, can be deceiving.
Frederick Chopin (1810 ? 1849) spent plenty of practice time playing each note of a piece of music incredibly slowly, so slowly in fact that it would be painful for anyone listening. But that?s what Chopin was doing ? listening very carefully to every note. Speed was not a factor in this process only deep listening to allow every note to resonate within him.
Do you know that children who grow up in homes where there is music are much more likely to want to play an instrument and to excel at this. Simply having music in the home is the biggest and easiest thing parents can do to foster their children?s musical talent.
On an unconscious level piano students are aware of how important listening is. For example, when a student is having difficulty with a passage of music, the first thing they ask their piano teacher to do is play it for them. This often takes care of the problem. Once the student hears how the passage of music is supposed to sound they can often play it rather well. This improvement can be compared to language.
When reading a word that is not common in daily speech one may know its meaning but be unsure of its pronunciation. The word ubiquitous comes to mind. I?ve heard this word pronounced a couple of different ways in the news media. Getting it to roll off the tongue easily depends on which syllables are accented. Similarly in music, putting a slight accent on a particular note can make the passage come out smoothly and naturally.
Beginners, especially young children, need exposure to lots of different kinds of music to develop their musical ear. Having a history of musical experience for the ear to rely on makes learning new pieces of music much easier for students. Music is a form of language and children are programmed to absorb languages. Having plenty of music in the home is a great way to encourage your child?s love of music and their musical talent.
