Put in bowl
Step #2
Blend: 2 peeled carrots, 2 celery, 3 peeled orange minus seeds, 2 tbsp, 1/2 cup walnuts, cider vinegar, pinch of sea sal, 1 cup olive oil, 2 cups wate
Mix with first bowl
Step #3
Chop 1/4 of a cabbage and a bunch of parsley
sprinkle on top
Yum. Create Healthy Rhythms. Eat Fresh, Raw Beets.

Private Lessons: The Turntables, an instrument
Instead of piano or violin, you may choose the turntables as your instrument of choice. I teach most of the regular principles of music, such as rhythm, counting, notes, pitch, and phrasing. Plus, with the turntables, you are able to begin having fun from the first lesson!
The art of DJing and being a true turntablist lends itself to improvisation and creative expression while learning to participate in a full band, just like a trumpet or sax. Miles Davis had his trumpet, I have my turntables.
Here is one of my students whom, as you can see, is learning fast. This is him scratching and looping after only 6 lessons!

Gregg jumps into the crowd
Another nice show with Poetic Republic, this time no live band. Gregg is just having too much fun. It's very loud at the Grop Shop.

DJ Lessons
I've begun giving private and group DJ lessons in the Get Synergized Studio (my studio). I teach the turntables as a legitimate instrument. . . not only how to scratch, but how to scratch as a creative, musical instrument. The lab is open. You can start as young as 7 years old in some cases.

Cleveland Parks are Nice!!
I didn't know that the city of Cleveland pays people to hang out at some neighborhood parks just to be with the kids. It provides an important element and feeling of safety. Plus, there is someone to love on the kids who might not get the same attension at home.
And in addition to this, Parkworks (parkworks.org) runs programs for this kids like the two I did this week on the west side of Cleveland. They learned a little hip-hop history, how to scratch, AND they made their own song. Listen.
