    How do vocal chords work with music - more inside

    The appeal is there because it is too perfect - like a sig gen's sinusoidal note sound - ugh! A good musician playing a piece and a competent one give quite a different result because the good one has a 'feeling' for it - something that cannot be taught - this I believe communicates on a...

    Understanding Refraction and Snel's Law: Common Questions Answered

    I can see that as a poor 'in a loop of delivering curriculum' teacher this forum is going to be a Godsend! A means of taking my understanding just that little bit deeper without having to do all of the math - which is now VERY rusty lol! Thank you for that insight - I have tweaked my site...

    Hi, I am a teacher at a High School for Girls in the UK. I only discovered this board today and haven't had a chance to really browse all of the threads yet... but I am sooooo impressed. I have been trying to get something like this off the ground in the UK for local teachers to share, but no...
