Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To! is a new system of learning which teaches students, their families and their instructors how to derive the most benefit from instruction in the least possible time. In a no-nonsense but humorous style, it  offers hundreds of ideas, tips and suggestions which enable students to learn practically anything two to four times faster, easier, with more success and less frustration.

 

During the workshop/demonstration, Mr. and Mrs. Satz will take volunteers from the audience, teach them all the white keys on a piano keyboard, and how to read music notation and within  less than  ten minutes, the volunteers will play a simple piece on the piano by notes.

 

Although originally geared for music instruction, the Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To! method works for anything requiring practice, study, repetition and memorization, and it actually cuts months, sometimes even years from the learning process. This new method of teaching/learning has engendered so much interest that the Florida Department of Education is including portions of the book in the new Sunshine States Standards. In addition, the Dade County School Board has scheduled a three hour seminar for school teachers, for which they will receive educational credit.

Taped Comcast 5 minute Spot Sept. 25th

Yesterday, we taped the 5 minute spot on Comcast Newsmakers for Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To!, the newest book by Phyllis Sdoia-Satz and Barry Satz.  It will be aired 40x during the month of October.  They are going to send us a tape of it, because we haven’t seen it yet.

Friday, Sept. 25th We’re on Comcast Newsmakers

On Friday, september 25th, 2009 we will tape a spot on Comcast Newsmakers. We’ll tell you all about Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To! by Phyllis Sdoia-Satz and Barry Satz. The 5 minute spot will air 40 times during the month of October.  Look for us.

Practicing Sucks is on Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites

For a while, Practicing Sucks wasn’t available on the Barnes and Noble Website but now it is.  For a listing of all Phyllis Sdoia-Satz works including Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To, in the Barnes and Noble search dialog box type, “Phyllis Sdoia-Satz” and it will bring up all 6 of my works, including Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To”.  So, look for it on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.  It still isn’t on Borders, but we’re hoping that will change.

Today’s the day

Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To is being shipped to the bookstores today.  Borders will have it, and also Barnes and Noble but it is NOT on their website. You have to go into the store to get it.  It’s also on Amazon and all 5 of my Husky Gang works are on Amazon as well.  If you Google “Phyllis Sdoia-Satz”, you’ll find a whole lot of places carrying the book besides Barnes and Noble and Borders.  Remember, Practicing Sucks has hundreds of tips to help students learn practically anything requiring study, memorizaiton, comprehension and repetition, faster, easier with more success and less frustration. And — a lot more fun learning.

Yesterday we did a radio interview about Practicing Sucks

Yesterday we did a radio interview with Maggie Linton on “Cover to Cover”.  Half hour interview.  The book is coming out on the 16th of September.  We have workshops and book signings all over town in Books and Books, Barnes and Noble and Borders starting in October.  Check the Barnes and Noble or Borders closest to you for dates, or come visit us here and we’ll give you dates, times, and store locations

Thanks Mr. E

It should have been out August 28, but Rowman and Littlefield are a little backed up. Glad you are so positive about the book. It really has some wonderful tips in it. Look for it in Barnes and Noble, Books and Books and Borders. You can also order it directly from etodd@Rowman.com.  We’re planning a ‘launch party” for the first day it appears in the stores.
