I've been teaching for 6 years now and getting busier every year...until October 2008.

As a knitting teacher, Sept-Dec is my busiest time of the year...classes book up up to six weeks in advance. But Oct 08 was like a ghost town for Knitting SOS. My years finances have averaged out pretty healthy due to a couple of big jobs last Spring, but I'm noticing that I can't fill classes as easily as I was 12 months ago.

Has anyone else found this and do they have any suggestions to inspire people to learn?

I've had a couple of people emailing me recently asking 'How do I learn on School of Everything?' I'm not sure if this is because members are expecting something more to happen when you click on the green 'Learn this' button. Do you?

* When you click 'Learn this' it adds it to your Learning profile and you'll be notified when new teachers sign up near you.
* If you want to learn this subject now, the best thing is to click on 'Near you' and entering the subject you want to learn in the 'refine your search' box.

There are some Learning FAQs in our Help section:

I watch hours of telly each day. But I was once told that I'm allowed to watch anything I like as I'm productive at the same time.

Just to explain...I'm a knitter. It's what I do for a living. But once the pattern writing bit is done, there are hours of repetitive knitting, during which I need to be kept entertained and awake.

I know lots of knitters who listen to the radio, but I need something to look at - I'm one of those annoying knitters who can watch subtitled films whilst knitting (sorry!)

This is an interesting site - enter something you're interested in and it will show you a map of related topics in the news. Slick.

Interesting results of this week's Teaching Expertise poll.

I've been thinking for a while now about going back into full-time education.

I'm very clear that I don't want to be an academic or study at an academic institution though. I want to spend a year studying all the various things I'm interested in - some quite formally, some just for the fun of it. I want to design my own Masters course and spend a year learning everything I've always wanted to.

So I've been thinking about what I'd like to study. So far I've got:

* Pop, jazz, gospel and ragtime piano
* Folk guitar
* Singing, particularly soul/gospel vocal
* Graphic design

I noticed recently how much new stuff I'm learning these days. In fact, it feels like I give myself more homework now than I ever used to do when I was at school or university. For example, in the past week I've been:

- teaching myself to transcribe 17th century manuscripts
- helping a friend rewrite a research report on Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (which meant getting my head round enough of the science not to mess up the meaning of what I was editing)
- editing a magazine about "commons" and "common sense"
- taking part in an extended email discussion about copyright and ethics

I was talking to my friend's piano teacher Roland Perrin (http://www.rolandperrin.com/) recently about how to play jazz piano, and one of the things he said was that jazz piano rhythms are basically two conventional rhythms layered on top of each other.

And I've also been following Shawn Cheek's "Easy Piano Lessons" on YouTube, and he says a similar thing about jazz chords, that he hears jazz chords as two chords layered on top of each other. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MMXYdD7rDhc, about 1:30 in)
