In junior high and high school, “Keyboarding” class is most definitely a course that teaches kids to type quickly on a computer keyboard.

In most cases, however, kids in today’s generation have learned to type without the help of teachers or a typing tutor. They have learned simply by chatting in chat rooms online and commenting on each other’s MySpace profiles.

I’m 21 years old, but I learned to type when I was just 12. I now type 70+ WPM. How did I learn? By spending an hour each day in a tween chat room online talking to other kids about video games and N’Sync …

Ask in case your song device retailer has demonstration weeks in which special devices perhaps sampled. Some song faculties additionally do that.

Even a recorder or tin whistle if performed good can sound robust, and it’s an high priced device to start with. From there you would transfer directly to flute, oboe or clarinet.

You’re right, though…with kids learning to type on a computer keyboard from the time they are able to crawl up to the desk, it’s got to be a unique challenge for teachers. However, I taught computer classes at a career college, and we had a program that taught them proper finger placement and keystroke repetition, eventually building up speed and reducing errors. I was surprised at how many “older” adults didn’t know how to type without looking down at the keyboard.

No matter what, though, it’s got to be easier to learn on a computer keyboard than it was on the old IBM Selectric II!!

I’m not really sure what keyboard class is- personally I’ve never heard of it. I can touch-type (typing without looking) but only because when i was about 10, i was really int rested in computers so my parents put me on a touch-typing course. There are load of touch-typing courses on the Internet so I’m sure you’ll find something. Type touch- typing in google or something.
