I'm a music teacher by trade.
I was hoping that I could help out one of my students and show him,
by example, that he could reach out to these news groups for guidance
and a helping hand. He said he had been down this path and rec'd no
help.
I wanted to prove him wrong and at the same time find a solution for
him....perhaps he would have more time to practice. (I have selfish
motives.)
Sadly, it seems he was right.....but maybe not. There might be
someone
who has a moment to share something constructive.
I presumed these newsgroups were for exchanging information and
mentoring those who were on their way up.
If I knew how to help him with this, I would have assisted him without
hesitation. I enjoy helping people.... no questions asked.
Thanks anyway, -Dk
