SOCIAL/BUSINESS ETIQUETTE
Social/Business Etiquette will be taught by June Guthier of
Scottsboro. Ms. Guthier is a certified consultant and a member
of The Etiquette Institute, an international organization whose
mission is to instill confidence, self esteem, and respect for
others, by blending the standards of traditional etiquette with
contemporary manners. According to Guthier, “Social etiquette
and manners are a way of life.” As we continue to face the
challenges of ever-changing technology, success in today’s
business world requires more than an MBA and knowing “who’s
who.” Good people skills and professional poise are essential.
Well-mannered, confident employees provide the needed edge in
today’s aggressive, consumer-driven economy.
This class is designed to teach the interpersonal skills
required for corporate survival. A young professional with self
esteem becomes the senior executive with confidence and a
positive self image. Good manners apply to everyone in the
workplace and help to increase employee morale, enhance the
company’s image, and contribute to profitability.
This class is designed for anyone entering the workforce,
especially young people just out of high school or college, but
is also open to others who wish to enhance their business
skills. Topics covered will include communication
(introductions, conversation, telephone, body language); first
impressions; meetings; business travel; job interview; coworker
courtesy; appearance; socializing.
CLASSES will meet on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00
September 11, 18, 25, and October 2 in room WA112.
COST for tuition is $70.00, which includes handouts and
materials needed for the class and a tutorial dining session. Deadline to register
is September 5.

INSTANT PIANO FOR HOPELESSLY BUSY
PEOPLE
A one-day (3 1/2 hour) workshop entitled "Instant Piano for
Hopelessly Busy People" will be taught this fall at Northeast
Alabama Community College. It teaches the chord approach to
playing the piano, which is desirable to many adults. It teaches
students to play by looking at the chord symbols that are in
most popular music today, instead of reading all the notes the
traditional way. This is literally a musically correct, but
"shorthand", way of playing that produces instant success in
playing popular songs with both hands during this one-day
workshop, even with total beginners. A roomful of people can be
taught with just one piano in the room. Each student has a dummy
keyboard at his seat, and then takes home a 32-page book and
68-minute practice CD with which a technique can be perfected on
the student’s own piano and leisure.
The instructor is David Haynes of Ringgold, Georgia. “I make the
class a fun evening, but students often say they learn more in
these few hours than they have in five years of piano lessons,”
said Haynes. “This workshop does not conflict with a regular
piano program, because my students are generally not interested
in regular classical piano studies.”
During the past eight years Haynes has taught this workshop in
170 colleges and 17 community programs and arts centers in 20
states, all to rave reviews. This same workshop has enjoyed
phenomenal success at hundreds of college and university
extension programs in California, Hawaii, Oregon, and many other
states since 1982, and the methodology has recently been
featured nationally on public television as “Piano In a Flash”.
Haynes has a master’s of music education from Andrews University
in Michigan; a bachelor’s of music education and a bachelor’s of
German from Southern College in Tennessee; and an associate
degree in computer science from the College of DuPage in
Illinois.
CLASS will be taught on Monday, October 29, from 1:00
p.m. until 4:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. in the new
Workforce Development Building, room 132.
BOOK AND CD: The instructor will
collect $25 in class for a book and CD.
COST of the class is $50, payable
to the College. If you can’t read notes, send a self-addressed
stamped envelope for a free pamphlet to Music Masters, 90 Molly
Lane, Ringgold, GA 30736.
