Children of X

CHAPTER 8

The sun was seated on the horizon with morning properly underway, as the twins strategically circled Gambit out on the dusty savannah.

Becca, crouching slightly, cocked her head at Ollie moving her eyes just so, then lifted her chin to the right, communicating her intentions silently. Ollie scrunched his nose at her suggestion, shook his head no, and nodded upward to convey another meaning. Meanwhile, Remy stood stalk still between them grinning and at the ready, a blindfold tied snugly over his eyes.

Rogue and Storm sat off several yards away, resting casually on a sizable cluster of rocks located nearby the disguised entrance to the underground lair. They looked on with mild interest as the kids' “homework” commenced. The assignment for them was simple enough - steal the blindfold. Meanwhile, Remy's job was merely to evade their attempts without leaving the circle he had outlined in the dirt.

The twins rushed him together, Becca attempting a flying grab for his head, while Ollie tried to sweep his legs. Remy dodged them both, smoothly rolling to the left as the kids nearly collided in their enthusiasm.

He laughed, “Good try. But you’ll have to do better than dat.”

As they regrouped for another attempt, Rogue was engrossed with the Wakanden tablet Storm had lent her. She inserted the drive she had smuggled back from her mission and began pouring over a schematic, delighted to find she could pull it out into a 3-dimensional model with the advanced tech.

"Your next target?" Ororo inquired looking over with curiosity.

Rogue nodded, studying the model intensely with a furrowed brow, "Yeah."

Storm inspected the diagram, "Where is this exactly?"

"Just South of Chenjianping ..." Rogue answered. "Looks like a run o’ the mill factory, but it goes a lot deeper down. See?" She gestured.

Storm nodded her agreement. "How many bases will this have been now?"

Rogue was thoughtful, recounting their targets, "We hit the one in Nebraska first. Wasn't much there anymore really. Still abandoned since it was originally blown up. Same goes for the one in the Kerguelen Islands an' the theatre in Seattle, … then there was Paris … Anchorage … All the connections were already closed, though."

“All this searching … when will you know it is enough?” Storm asked in her straightforward, placid manner.

Rogue scowled slightly, “When he’s gone. And for good this time.”

“Still X-Men. Even after all this time. Forever fighting the hopeless cause.” Storm observed with bemusement, looking back to the training session.

Rogue frowned. “Ah don’t like it any better than you do, ‘Ro. But there isn’t a lot of choice in the matter."

“That was not meant as a criticism, Rogue. Just that … I’m sorry it has come to all this. As X-Men, sacrificing all that we have … I had always hoped it meant we could find some peace in our time and that our children might do the same. That they’d be the ones to live in the dream.” Storm reflected wistfully. “They’re getting quite good though.” she nodded, as Becca finally managed to glance a thwarted grab off Gambit’s shoulder while he was avoiding another kick from Ollie.

“Dat’s my girl.” Remy encouraged. “C’mon now, Ollie. Get in here. Not gonna let your old man win now, are ya?"

Rogue smiled, glancing over. “It’s kind of amazing watchin’ them grow. Seein’ what they can do. Ah see myself in them sometimes, 'Ro.” She sighed. “But yeah ... then I wonder … are we doing right by them? Was it wrong of us, bringing kids into all this? The X-Men? The Thieves Guild? Spendin’ their whole life in hiding because of who and what we are?”

“As I recall,” Storm smirked, “It was not exactly as though you and Remy planned this out. Fate made the decision for you.”

Rogue laughed, “Well … fate or not … can’t say Ah wasn’t a willing participant.”

Storm echoed her laugh with a heartier one.

They turned their attention back to the skirmish, where the kids were still losing.

Rogue whistled to them and when they looked her way, she made a twirling signal with her finger. They nodded understanding and paused a moment. She bent down to scoop something up.

"Hey! No help from de peanut gallery!" Remy objected in her general direction.

Rogue skipped a stone past his left foot with a sly smirk and when his head turned toward the movement and sound, the kids pounced on him, barely missing this time.

Rogue and Storm shared another good laugh.

"Jus' tryin' ta even out the playin' field, sugah." Rogue hooted at him in a sweet molasses taunt.

Remy recovered from his sharp roll away, shook his head and smiled his devious smile, muttering to himself, “Dis woman”.

"Seven years is it now? And with the very man some said could never settle down.” Storm observed. “Yet here you both are. And in all this time you’ve been almost entirely on the run too. Hasn't that been difficult?”

Rogue watched as the sparring continued, “Can’t say it’s always been easy or anywhere near perfect. We're apart so often ... too often, really. An' the times when we are together, sometimes it's just about gettin’ through it all an' surviving. And sure, once in a while Ah kinda have the urge to knock him unconscious for maybe an hour or two.” She smirked, “But …” she looked back over as Remy dodged another of the kids’ attempts with a fancy flip and devil-may-care laugh. “Yeah, Ah don’t know what Ah’d do without him.”

“I imagine Remy would echo those sentiments. Even now, the man is still showing off for you.” Storm pointed out.

“Pfffhh, he’s showing off for whoever happens to be watching him.” Rogue noted wryly.

The kids had finally gotten ahold of Remy by each arm, but they still couldn’t actually bring him down low enough to grab the blindfold. Laughing he pulled them over into a heap where the lesson quickly devolved into an all-out tickle war. Though as his blindfold finally fell loose in the scuffle, Remy's eyes caught Rogue’s for a moment and the same intensity was still there between them. The same intensity that there had been back on the beach and ever since their reunion - the building anticipation they were both trying to stave off and ignore.

“Thanks for pulling some strings with T’Challa.” Rogue mentioned refocusing and rifling through the data some more. “Hope that didn’t cause anything … awkward?”

“We have an understanding.” Storm explained serenely. “Maybe you’d call it an arrangement? At any rate, there are some loyalties that can never be completely severed. When you've been as close as we have ... that's forever, regardless the circumstances.”

Rogue wasn't sure exactly of her meaning, but she understood the sentiment at any rate and nodded.

“Just let us know when ya'll need to kick us out.” Rogue answered. "Don’t want to overstay our welcome. What IS this place, anyway?"

"A safe house, of sorts. Or a secret rendezvous spot." Storm answered with a conspiratorial grin. "Depending on your point of view, I suppose."

Remy came walking over to join them, calling over this shoulder, “Why don't ya'll go play for a bit, D’Accord? Let the grown-ups talk awhile."

The kids grumbled about how they WERE grown up, but skittered off anyway eagerly looking for bugs to catch.

"Awww, non. Don' tell me you ladies are over here talkin' shop." Remy groaned, noticing Rogue with the building mock-up projecting from the tablet in her hands.

"Hey now, Ororo is nearly as expert a thief as you are. Ah just wanted to run this by -" Rogue started as Gambit sidled up next to her, his fingers settling hungrily between her bare shoulder blades, and tapped the schematic decisively off.

"The key there bein' nearly." he teased. "Now let’s get back to dat later, eh? How 'bout I go dig out the bottle of champagne I stashed in the fridge and we celebrate this fine reunion wit' a proper toast?"

"Remy, it's barely 7 am." Storm observed in a droll tone.

"Sure, on Wakandan time. But on California time, de night is young an' it's jus' about bedtime for some kids." he smirked, his eyes catching Rogue's again with that same fiery gaze. "Meanin' we can finally relax, neh? Be right back."

He hopped up and slipped into the nearby hideout before either of the women could object further.

Rogue shrugged and grinned after him. "We can get back to it tomorrow. But Ah think we'll need a different strategy for this target. It's one the X-Men have never encountered before and bigger. Ah'd really like your input, ‘Ro. An' Ah know Remy will too."

"Judging by the size alone, a one man mission will not be sufficient. But then what of the children?" Storm looked at her friend with concern.

"Well they ain't comin' with, obviously." Rogue acknowledged. "But yeah, we'll need to make some arrangements. There's no way Ah'm lettin' Remy run this next one solo though. An' Ah know he'll try."

Gambit re-emerged, champagne and flutes in hand. He passed the delicate glasses to Rogue. She cringed as he put his freed fingers to the top of the bottle to lightly charge the cork. It shot into the air and dissolved in a buzzing fushia fizz of sparks.

"See? I've gotten pretty good at dis." he grinned triumphantly and took a glass from Rogue who raised an amused brow at him as he poured and offered the first glass to Storm.

She raised a hand palm out. "Thank you my friend, but I will have to pass."

"Aww c'mon, padnat. Not even one? Can't hardly toast our gracious host dis way." he said, laying on as much charm as possible while he passed the glass back to Rogue instead.

"I have my reasons, Remy LeBeau. Now if you want to be a true gentleman, there's a carafe of freshly squeezed juice in the kitchen." she admonished him a little sternly.

Gambit cocked his head at her, a little taken aback, but recovered to smoothly reply with an over-the-top, "As you wish." complete with mocking bow. He took an empty glass from Rogue and handed her the bottle, shooting her a contemplative look before retreating back to the kitchen.

Rogue glanced at Storm a little uncertainly and took a sip from her glass. Strong of principle though she was, Storm wasn't one to avoid indulging in the simple pleasures of life or to let Remy irritate her.

She was formulating something to say, when Becca slipped up onto her lap wrapping her arms around her mother's neck. Rogue reflexively pulled her baby girl in closer, setting the flute of champagne aside.

"Mama, can we go flyin'?" the little girl inquired sweetly, big eyes demanding her full attention.

Rogue pressed her forehead to her daughter's, rubbing turned-up nose to turned-up nose. "Ah dunno, sugah." She sighed.

Storm laughed with amusement. "So I see Remy has passed more than one of his skills on to the next generation?"

"Ah'll say. This one gives him a run for his money."

"Pllleeeaassee???" Becca laid on thicker and sweeter and was soon joined by a, "C'mon! Can we?" plead from Ollie.

"We're still under cover here." Rogue told them very seriously. "King T'Challa is doin' us a big favor lettin' us stay. So we can't do anything that's gonna attract too much attention."

"One moment, Anna. I think I can be of assistance." Storm interceded, hers eyes clouding over to a bright white and lifting her hands skyward. A thick fog swirled up out of thin air, then spread upward and outward to encase their entire camp in a tall hollow cylinder of cloud, hiding them from view for miles.

The kids looked around with an impressed "ooooohhhh" and ""aaawwww".

"Alright." Rogue caved, grinning at Storm as Ollie hopped up into her lap also. "But after this, it's to bed with the both of ya."

She tucked a child safely under each of her strong arms and they shot off into the sky with delighted squeals and whoops.

Storm was watching them with a satisfied and wistful smile, when Remy rejoined her. He handed her the glass of juice and took a seat, looking up to observe his family and admire Storm's handiwork.

"Thanks for dat, 'Ro. An' for everythin' else. So ... How far along are you, chére?" he asked, casually pouring himself some champagne.

Storm sipped her juice and swirled the glass thoughtfully, glancing sideways at Gambit to contemplate him, then finally answered. "A few months."

" ... A celebratory toast then?" Remy raised his glass slightly, but retained a sober tone.

"Perhaps in time, Remy." she answered with measured enthusiasm.

"... an' de father?" he started, trailing off before finishing the question.

"Doesn't know yet ... because I don't know for certain yet." she calmly explained.

Remy raised an eyebrow and nodded. "An' the King?"

"I'm not going to get into that now." Storm stated matter-of-factly.

"Sorry, chére. Dat things are ... complicated. Also means ya won't be joining us on dis next mission den." Remy took another long sip.

"No, I am afraid not." Storm nodded. "Can we keep this between us?"

"Sure. If dat's what you want. But Rogue's gonna wonder. Think she was hopin’ you'd come with me or her to China." he explained.

"I would not ask you to keep my secret from your own wife, Remy. But until I can tell the father of this child, it needs to stay between the three of us at least." Storm noted.

"We understan' more than most 'bout the need for discretion." Remy observed and gave her a reassuring smile. "If there's anything we can do ta help?"

"There is not. But I'm glad you are here." Storm looked skyward. "It does me good to see what this could look like ... in time."

"Not like you don' have a choice." Remy started.

"I have considered the options, my friend." She interupted. "But with so few mutants in the world, it seems wrong to deny this one a chance."

"The X-ranks be growin’ den, though maybe not in th' way ol' Chuck used ta recruit." Remy barked an ironic laugh.

Storm shot him a raised eyebrow, as Rogue suddenly lit down in their midst with two screaming kids.

"AGAIN!" they shouted in chorus.

"Nuh-uh! Nope! Ah said one ride and then ta bed." she metted out firmly.

"Awwww. Bed?! But the sun is out!" Olivier argued, collapsing bonelessly to the ground in protest, and Becca piled on a sassy and exasperated, "Yeah!" throwing her hands up at the bright sky.

"Don't try my patience." Rogue shot them a look. "It's nearly midnight in California. C'mon now. Tell Miss Munroe thank you and goodnight."

"Thank you, Auntie Ro." Rebecca shot glumly and Ollie added a "G'night." pulling himself up as Rogue herded them toward the hideout entrance.

Remy stood, but Rogue insisted, "Let me get them ta bed, sugah. It's been such a long time since Ah got to. "

"Sure, chére. You get them settled. Then mebbe … we should be hittin’ the hay too, yeah?" his eyes caught hers again.

She grinned and cocked her head at him. "Maybe."

Storm followed their exchange, adding, "I think I'll see if Illyana will take me back to the States with her for the day. I need to catch up with a few people. Then you all can have a quiet place to rest."

"Oh ... uh, if you want to, 'Ro. But don't go on our account." Rogue answered a little self-conscientiously, tucking a loose lock of hair behind her ear.

"Nonsense. I will return later." Storm insisted with a knowing grin.

"Alright. Well, goodnight then. And thanks." Rogue answered gratefully. She glanced from Storm back to Remy, who had both kids wrapped up in a bear hug.

“G’night, mes petits.”

They scampered into the hut and down below. He watched Rogue follow them, looking back over her shoulder at him once more as she disappeared from sight. Then he looked back to find Ororo watching him watching her.

He smirked a little self-consciously, “What?”

“Nothing … just … I’m glad for you. For both of you. Some things, at least, don't change.”

CHAPTER 9

The twins were settled in a room down at the end of a hallway off the central room, one meant for sleeping a small garrison it seemed. Several individual beds were vertically and horizontally stacked like stair-step shelves that jutted out from the walls in a mysterious fashion, independent of any supports, railings or ladders. The ceiling and walls were inlaid with tiny periwinkle bioluminescent lights that faintly alternated in patterns that resembled flowers then trees then stars. Becca, still hyper off the adrenaline rush from flying with Rogue, was already having a grand time of flipping and swinging amongst the many beds like a spider monkey. Ollie had made a solid, but somewhat more cautious climb to the top most bunk, standing there like king of the mountain and surveying his new dominion.

Rogue ordered them both back down to Earth and set Ollie to brushing his teeth at the basin, while she lovingly unwound Becca’s plaits and brushed out her fine, soft baby hair. It was more Remy's texture than hers, thicker and straighter than her own. It still impressed her that Remy had gotten accustomed to braiding it in her absence, though undoubtedly it was no challenge for his talented fingers. There was something unspoken between them … about the things they would carry on for each other in case there ever came a day when one of them didn’t return. Rogue found herself brushing longer than she need and stopped, giving her girl a gentle squeeze of affection. She never figured she’d be good at this … want this … miss this even.

Rogue helped the kids change into their night clothes, the simple garments already seemed worn and to be getting small on them. She would need to pick them up some new clothes soon. It was on her mind more so now than when she had left for her mission - how quickly they were growing. For mutants, growing meant getting closer to the day their powers would emerge in full. And for their children in particular, getting their full powers meant bringing them closer to the day they would be lost to their destiny. Rogue shuddered and pushed the thought from her mind. They weren’t there yet. There was still time. Time to make a difference. And time yet to enjoy all these little fleeting moments.

“What book are we reading then?” she asked, seating herself on the edge of a lower bunk.

"Here, Mama." Ollie pulled a beat-up volume from his bag and handed it to Rogue, climbing into the bunk where she sat. Becca scrambled in next to him.

"Move over!"

"I was here first!"

"Alright, alright ... no fighting or no book." Rogue threatened half-seriously.

Becca stuck her tongue out at her brother, who crossed his arms and huffed at her, but Rogue ignored them.

She turned the novel over to read the cover and chuckled to herself with a roll of her eyes, "Of course ..." then she turned to where the bookmark rested. Pulling it out, she cleared her throat and started, "Chapter 4, The Keeper of The Keys".

The twins listened with rapt interest as she described the magical giant man breaking into the isolated safe house out on a stormy sea, the way he put the human oppressors in their place, and the good news he delivered to their protagonist.

"You're a wizard, Harry." Rogue read in her best Hagrid voice and continued through the chapter as he received his letter and arguing followed and -

"Why isn't there a special school for mutants?" Becca suddenly interjected, looking at Rogue with her piercing eyes.

Olivier, though annoyed at the interruption of the story, gawked contemplatively at Rogue as well, curious for her answer.

" ... well ... there used to be ..." she started.

"But there isn't anymore?" Ollie cocked his head.

" ... sort of ... " Rogue went forward cautiously.

"You mean there IS one?!" Becca sat up with excited interest.

"No, no ... just ... there's a place that ... well, that takes care of mutant kids who don't have anyone to look after them." Rogue explained.

The twins glanced to each other and back to their Mother.

"Don't they have parents?" Ollie wondered.

"They're orphans, right?" offered Becca.

"Lots of reasons." Rogue answered calmly. "Now how about we finish-"

"Is it big? Like Hogwarts?" Becca queried on with more excitement.

Rogue grumbled to herself and massaged her forehead. "No. It's very small and very secret."

"Like Hogwarts." Ollie whispered with awe.

"It's NOT like Hogwarts." Rogue insisted. "Now do ya want ta hear the rest of this story or not?"

Ollie bit his lip, but Becca just frowned thoughtfully.

After a pause filled with silence and giving an *ahem*, Rogue began to continue on with the story again, "Why aren't you supposed to do magic-"

"But WHY is the mutant school so small?" Becca interrupted again.

Rogue sighed and put the mark back in the book, this time closing it in her lap.

Ollie whined, but Rogue reached out to touch their faces and look them in the eyes as she said gently, "Because ... there aren't a lot of us left."

"But why?" Ollie asked, his small brow now also furrowed to match his sister's.

"It's complicated, darlin'. Mostly ... it's because people didn't want to have mutants born in their families a while back and they took a medicine to stop it from happening." Rogue told them honestly.

" ... oh ..." the little boy bowed his head.

"Hey now ... see here ..." Rogue pulled her babies into her lap. "That doesn't have anything to do with us, alright? People were just scared of what they didn't understand. Maybe there aren't a lot of us anymore. But we're not alone, ok? We have each other and we have friends, people like us."

The kids nodded. They'd met a slew of fellow mutants in their many travels.

“But there aren’t any other kids.” Becca pointed out.

“Sure there are, hon. Remember Josiah? When we were on Chandilar? That place with all the tall buildings?” Rogue asked.

The twins just looked at her blankly and Rogue frowned. “Well … ah guess maybe you were too young to remember. Anyway, the point is there are plenty of other mutant kids, just like you.”

“Do they look like us?” Ollie wondered.

“No, stupid. Everybody looks different. Right, Mama?” Becca insisted triumphantly.

“Hey now, don’t be mean to your brother.” She chastised. “An’ yes, everyone looks different and has different powers. Most kids don’t even have powers ‘til they’re older. Just like we talked about.”

“Can we meet them?” Becca was intense and excited again.

“Alright, alright … time to calm down, both of ya.” Rogue shushed them. “Ah’m sure you will sometime, but Ah ain’t makin’ any promises right now. Now lie down and not another peep until Ah finish this chapter.”

Why do I receive different results when comparing a digital ?

Why do I receive different results when comparing a digital filter designed using the BUTTER and BILINEAR functions in the

Signal Processing

Toolbox?Using the following specifications:

Fs = 172800; Fc = 70000;

where "Fs" represents the sampling frequency and "Fc" represents the cutoff frequency, I created a digital filter in two different ways:

1. Using the BUTTER function.

[B ,A] = butter(4,Fc/(Fs/2));

2. Using the BILINEAR function to convert the analog filter designed using the BUTTER function into a digital filter through a bilinear transformation.

[Bs,As] = butter(4,Fc*2*pi,'s'); [Bz,Az] = bilinear(Bs,As,Fs);

I then used the FVTOOL function to compute the magnitude response and compared the two results:

fvtool(B,A,Bz,Az);

Notice that the results of the two magnitude responses are not the same even though I am using the same specifications.

This is the expected behavior for filter discretization in the

Signal Processing

Toolbox. The example above illustrates the nonlinear nature of the bilinear transformation. To counteract this nonlinearity, it is necessary to create analog domain filters with "prewarped" band edges, which map to the correct locations upon bilinear transformation. If you want to design the analog filter that will be equivalent to the design using the ‘s’ option in the BUTTER function, you need to prewarp the frequency as follows:

Wc = tan(pi/2*Fc/(Fs/2)); % Analog prewarped freq. rad/second

Note that this frequency is already in rad/second so the analog design is:

[Bs,As] = butter(4,Wc,'s');

Now the issue is what sampling frequency (Fs) to use with BILINEAR. In the prewarping method used to compute "Wc", we implicitly used the bilinear transformation that is most commonly seen in the literature:

s=(1-z^(-1))/(1+z^(-1)).

In the BILINEAR function documentation, the following transformation is used:

Q-Tip Will Be Teaching A Jazz Infused Hip Hop Class At NYU

New Post has been published on http://fabulizemag.com/2018/04/q-tip-will-be-teaching-a-jazz-infused-hip-hop-class-at-nyu/

Q-Tip Will Be Teaching A Jazz Infused Hip Hop Class At NYU

Can you imagine the curriculum for this class? I can imagine Prof. Q-Tip telling his class that record store trips are mandatory and digging through the crates would be weekly homework assignments. I’m sure he’d make the class listen to Miles Davis, J Dilla, Sarah Vaughn and Billie Holiday regularly. He’d also probably teach rhyme theory too; you too can learn to rhyme like the professor abstract over some melodic, jazz-infused hip-hop beats while explaining why other mc’s are suckas.

Seriously, this seems like a dope class. According to reports, the class will cover musical acts such as The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest ( of course), Lauryn Hill and Kendrick Lamar. Hip Hop clases are the wave especially when your favorite rappers are teaching them.

Come to class! https://t.co/HxYbNYTmoO

— QTip (@QtipTheAbstract) April 7, 2018

Check Out NYU’s press release:

Legendary rapper, musician, and producer Q-Tip and Grammy-winning journalist, producer, and writer Ashley Kahn will examine the intertwined relationship between jazz and hip-hop this fall at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music in the Tisch School of the Arts. This course is among the first in the world to explore the underappreciated connections between jazz and hip-hop and combines historical and social perspectives with the opportunity to produce original music at the nexus of the two genres.

Jazz emerged in the 1920s, prioritizing traditional musicianship, and hip-hop—born in the 1970s— favors non-traditional approaches and instrumentation, but the two styles continue to grow and influence each other. As one of the most successful figures in hip-hop, Q-Tip brings to NYU visionary ideas about the intersections and parallel developments of these musical styles.

“I couldn’t be more excited to share with the students what I know and I look forward to them also teaching me. Teaching is an exchange of sharing and receiving for all involved,” said Q-Tip.

The seven-class course covers the unique historical relationship between jazz and hip-hop and examines the boundary-breaking artists of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s and beyond who fused musical genres and prototyped new music techniques including The Last Poets, Stetsasonic, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, The Roots, Lauryn Hill, and Kendrick Lamar.

Each class session is divided into two: students will complete focused readings and undertake listening and viewing assignments to investigate the social, cultural, musical, and business aspects of the relationships between jazz and hip-hop. The second half of each class focuses on musicianship, performance, composition, and production with students completing in-class and out-of-class assignments under Q-Tip’s mentorship, investigating compositional and studio choices at the nexus of hip hop and jazz, and working collaboratively to create, refine, and produce their own original musical works.

“We’re thrilled to have Q-Tip join the faculty of The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music,” said Jason King, associate professor and director of Writing, History & Emergent Media Studies at the Clive Davis Institute. “In searching for instructors to teach in our program, our aim is to always bring top-flight working professionals to the classroom who have made a major impact in their fields. That’s why we’re so excited to welcome Q-Tip, since he’s a peerless icon who redefined hip-hop for generations to come and brought jazz to the genre, especially through his contribution with A Tribe Called Quest. He also has a natural instinct for teaching and cultivating excellence in students in terms of their focus on craft and expressive style. It’s going to be transformative to have him on board.”

The class will begin September 5, 2018, and will take place on Wednesdays through the fall semester. For more information on this class and other programming at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, visit here.

Q-Tip is one of the founding members of the pioneering alternative hip-hop trio A Tribe Called Quest. He is one of the most successful producers, composers, and rappers to come out of hip-hop. In 1988, when hip hop reached a high point of diversity and meaning, A Tribe Called Quest came of Queens with a hip-hop sound leaning heavily on a love and understanding of jazz—a reverence that continues to be part of his musical identity. Three massive albums and ten years later, Q-Tip went solo with his own album Amplified. Since then, he’s worn many hats – producer, actor, deejay, collaborator, working with a wide range of artists, from Jay Z and REM, to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, to Nas and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Today, he is the artistic director of hip-hop at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

Ashley Kahn is an author, music journalist, recording and concert producer, as well as being a professor of music history and criticism at NYU. He is the author of various books on music history, including A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane’s Signature Recording, and Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. During a 30-year career in the music business, Kahn has helped produced countless concerts, tours and festivals including a ten-year stint as tour manager for a multitude of music groups, including: Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Debbie Harry & the Jazz Passengers and Britney Spears. In 2015, he won a Grammy for Best Liner Notes for the John Coltrane album Offering.

The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music provides professional business and artistic training toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree for students who aspire to succeed as creative entrepreneurs in the music industry. The program bears the name of its chief patron and advisor, Clive Davis.

How to become an online tutor?

New Post has been published on https://3veta.com/blog/business-advice/how-to-become-an-online-tutor

How to become an online tutor?

Thanks to modern internet technologies our education has changed dramatically over the last few years. No longer does a teacher need to be at home in order to host a private lesson. Neither does a student need to travel to meet their tutor.

This is the age of online lessons. All you need to enter this fast growing business is a laptop and a strong expertise in a specific subject.

This guide will focus on how to start providing online classes. No, I don’t mean to teach you how to be a teacher, but how to set up a successful online business. Below are your main questions to answer.

Are you aware how valuable your services are?

Who will be your target students (and their parents!)?

Do you want to offer full course programs or pay-as-you-go private lessons?

How can technology help you in your new venture?

Are you aware how valuable your services are?

As a teacher you are undoubtedly interested in developing yourself, always striving to be better at what you do. So it’s easy to focus on the quality of your service rather than the benefit for the other party. Try putting yourself in the place of your students.

You are well aware how little attention each of them receives from their teacher in class. Some students will do just fine without extra help. Others however will end up failing their exams, missing out on a place in their preferred university or even not landing their dream job. This is likely to affect their career and maybe their whole life.

Now with your help these students won’t just get extra tutoring time. They won’t just pass their exams or go into the right university. They will have the confidence of achievers, the knowledge to conquer their goals. They will have a brighter future.

So you are not just providing a service. You are enabling transformation.

The sooner you start seeing things this way, the faster you will attract more clients.

So wait no more and start changing lives!

And don’t think just local – any country where English is widely spoken, could benefit from your knowledge. This might even be better paid than you expect! In fact, many private tutors find their online earnings much more attractive than the mostly fixed school salaries.

Who will be your target students (and their parents!)?

Choosing the student segment you will be working with depends mostly on your professional experience. If you are fully switching from traditional to online lessons, then best stick to what you are most familiar with. This is where your educational strengths will lie.

But while planning your promotional activities remember who you should target. Make sure you develop a great relationship with both your students and their parents. After all, parents are more likely to see the value in you. Your credentials and additional qualifications need to be displayed everywhere that you are advertising yourself. Previous student testimonies are also a great asset and their successes will speak louder than anything else.

It also matters where you live. If you live in a smaller town or community, word of mouth will be your most powerful tool for self-promotion. Nothing impresses quite like a praise coming directly from someone your client knows.

Important note – it is not required by law but some parents might ask you to show them an up-to-date criminal record check. Be ready to provide one, especially if you live or want to teach in the US or UK.

Do you want to offer full course programs or pay-as-you-go private lessons?

Some people prefer to go on a full course, others do perfectly well with an odd lesson here and there. Whatever your clients are, take your time developing your course material and lesson structure. Once you have done that, you should keep adding to and amending your material. After all, this is your main source of income.

Be aware that a lesson or a course does not tie you up only for its duration. There are homework assignments and tests that you also might have to take care of. Think carefully how much time you have available and what is the best way to distribute it. Your goal is to provide a high-quality service without overwhelming yourself.

How can technology help you in your new venture?

I’m a big believer that the future of education no longer belongs to classrooms and heavy books. Traditional teaching methods place a huge administrative burden on teachers. It is therefore tempting to know that you can relieve some of it by moving to online private lessons.

Technology streamlines the whole process, so it helps you save time. It also allows you to be a better teacher. There are loads of applications that illustrate different scientific theories – be it for maths, physics, biology, even languages. Students will find their lessons all the more interesting if you incorporate some of those in your classes.

Being confident on video

It might feel awkward to communicate with your students via camera if you have only been doing in-person classes. Some people feel insecure at the start, but it is something you will get used to surprisingly quickly. And the good news is, your students are likely to enjoy and even prefer this interaction. This is because they will probably belong to the digitally native Generation Z. Like in any business, a happy customer means that you are more successful.

How to organise your lessons via an online platform?

If you choose to teach online, you will have to use a reliable video service platform to deliver your lessons. Some teachers use the likes of Skype or Zoom for that. However these weren’t designed for the purpose and can give you a headache if online classes is your main activity. Using a trusted platform will ensure that you and your students can focus on the lesson. It will also be a great boost to your professional image.

Good video service platforms will provide you with a smooth and predictable start and finish of your lessons. They should allow you for example to have a virtual waiting room for your students if you are slightly late. Also, they will give you an option of choosing what to happen if your students are late themselves. This is especially important if you are managing a group class.

Scheduling

As an online teacher, you will want to have a neat way of managing your calendar. This is also something that the video service platform you choose can offer you. It’s important for you to never miss your appointments, and for your students to be able to check your availability. Often times, children need a one-off appointment to get some help with a more difficult assignment. It is then simple and quick if they can book straight from your website. Many teachers are used to paper or smartphone calendars. Once you start using scheduling via your platform though, you will feel more in control of your growing business.

Payments

One of the most important aspects of using a video platform with integrated extra services is arranging easy and secure payments. As an online teacher you are also an entrepreneur and ensuring a reliable cash flow is critical to any business. How is this reflected in an online platform?

For starters, a good online video service solution will show you how much you have earned at any given point. This is much better than having to count cash or checking incoming funds on your bank app.

Next, you need to access your earnings. They can either go in an online wallet, or directly on your bank account. Be aware though, there are fees applied every time your funds hit your bank. Therefore, you should aim to arrange a payment schedule that works for you, and minimizes the fees you are paying.

There is also the question of how quickly you can access your funds. There are payment operators who require several days until a payment becomes available to you, others take months! Be sure to inquire with your video service platform what conditions will apply to the payments you receive.

Last but not least, think how you want to handle cancellations. Depending on your approach, your online video platform can make it easier for you to retain a payment in case of a last minute student no-show. Check at which point the platform will actually charge your students. Usually the payments will not be available to you until the lesson is over. In case it doesn’t go ahead you can arrange for a new lesson to take place.

Don’t neglect the extra costs

Ultimately you want to be profitable, therefore ensure your rate covers all costs you will have. You should have a budget to cover the purchasing of books or payment of fees for the online tools you will use during your lessons. There will also be a small transaction cost that you will be charged when someone makes a payment to you. But it’s not all extra expenses. By working online, you don’t need to rent a physical space for your lessons. You can also save on travel costs. These can be significant savings depending on where you live.

Now is the right time for you to start

You will hardly find a better time to be launching your online private lessons business. People are spending more than ever on education and the benefits of video platforms are undeniable. The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 has proved that almost anything can be done remotely and video services are becoming ever more popular. Don’t waste any time and start thinking about the immense opportunities an online teaching career can give you. We’ve given you the basics for a successful start and have covered much more on the topic in other articles. It’s your turn now!
