Problem: Article: Look in the mirror while holding it to make sure you can see all the parts of yourself that are important to you. Remember that you’ll likely be able to step back from the mirror to see your shoes.  Choose a door that gets good light if you plan to do your make up in the mirror. If possible, have a friend hold the mirror, so you can double check that the height works for you. Holding the mirror in place, create a small pencil mark along the top edge. This will give you a reference point to work from as you center the mirror on the door. It’s not important to mark the edges of the mirror. This mark is just to get an approximate feel for where you’d like to hang the mirror. Use a measuring tape to measure the width of the door from edge to edge. Divide that number in half to get the precise center of the door’s width. On your height line, mark this true center of the door with a dark pencil mark. If your door has decorative imprints or panels, measure only the center of the thick, central panel of the door. Decorative areas of interior doors are often hollow and not strong enough to hold a mirror. Measure the width of the mirror using a measuring tape. Divide this measurement in half to get the precise center of the mirror. Create a light pencil mark at this measurement on the top of the mirror. If there’s not a rough edge to mark the center of the mirror, use a small piece of painter’s tape to mark the center. Ask your friend to align the center mark on your mirror and the center mark on your door’s height line. With the mirror in this ideal position, mark the center of the bottom edge of the mirror. You will use this bottom mark as a guide to hang mirror clips, which will secure your mirror to the door.
Summary: Hold the mirror at the approximate height you want it on the door. Use a pencil to mark where the top of the mirror hits on the door. Measure the door to find the center. Find the center of the mirror by measuring. Have a friend hold the mirror in its final, centralized position.

Problem: Article: Read the manufacturer’s instructions to familiarize yourself with your brace. The directions will describe the different parts of your brace and how it should be worn.. When in doubt, defer to the manufacturer’s instructions over these directions, which are suited to most braces but not all. Undo the hook-and-loop fastener straps holding the brace together, and pull the opposite sides of the brace apart. The brace should be open so you can slide it over your arm easily. Thread your hand and forearm into the brace. Pull the brace up your forearm until the top of the supportive strap is approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) below your elbow. If the brace has a forearm splint in it, rotate the splint side so it is positioned on the thumb side of your arm. Move the brace so the cushioned area that will support your tendon is on the top of your forearm facing outward. This usually means that the strap compressing the tendon will be secured on the underside of your forearm Depending on the brace, this tendon cushion may be an air pack or foam. Use the adjustable strap to pull the brace snug now that it is in the proper position. You should be able to grip a racket—or make a fist—without the brace restricting your circulation. However, the brace should also be tight enough so it doesn’t move around on your arm. Attempt the activity that causes you pain while wearing your brace. If it feels a little tight, loosen it. If it feels like it isn’t giving you enough support, try tightening it. Adjust the brace so you feel the most relief. Wear your brace when performing your painful activity or while going about your entire day if you want more support. Wearing a brace will not hurt you, unless you’ve put it on incorrectly. If you feel unsure about putting a brace on yourself, consult a doctor, tennis pro, or physical therapist. They can all help you feel confident about wearing your brace.
Summary: Read the manufacturer’s directions. Open up the brace. Slip the brace onto your arm. Position the elbow brace with the tendon cushion facing out. Tighten the brace until it is snug but not uncomfortable. Make any adjustments for comfort, as needed. Wear the brace whenever you need additional support.

Problem: Article: Vibrato is an effect that warbles a note while you play. Vibrato is achieved by bending and unbending your finger as you play on a string. This dynamic is usually marked as “Vibr” underneath the notes that should be played as vibrato. Pizzicato is a technique, usually noted as "pizz" or sometimes spelled out in its entirety, that indicates you should play a note by plucking the violin string with your finger. If there is no obvious “pizz” or “pizzicato” designated, then assume the musical piece should be played as “arco,” or using the bow to play the notes. Pizzicato may also be designated with the Bartok pizzicato symbol, also known as a “snap pizzicato.” This symbol, a circle with a vertical line through the top, will appear above the note to be plucked. This type of pizzicato is given an extra snap by pinching the string with two fingers and snapping it back into the finger board. A tremolo is a style of playing very quick, rapid sounds as the bow draws back and forth across the string. The tremolo is noted with thick, short diagonal lines drawn through the note or the stem of the note. They can be either measured or unmeasured.  One diagonal line means 1/8 note tremolo (measured). Two diagonal lines mean 1/16 note tremolo (measured). Three diagonal lines mean an unmeasured tremolo. Style markings give you an indication of the mood with which to play music. These are typically noted in Italian. Some of the more common words you'll see are:   Con: With  Poco a poco: Little by little  Meno mosso: Less movement  Dolce: Sweetly  Allegro: Quick and lively Dynamics in sheet music indicate how loud or quiet you should play. These are typically indicated below the staff and will change as you progress through the music. Written in Italian, these range from very quiet (pianissimo) to mezzo (medium) to fortissimo (very loud).  Dynamics usually show up as lower-case letters, such as p (piano), mf (mezzo forte), ff (fortissimo) and so on. Crescendos and diminuendos are also used, which indicate that your playing should get louder or quieter gradually. They are typically indicated by a long, thin carrot or accent mark.
Summary:
Play “Vibr” as vibrato. Play “pizz” as pizzicato. Play a Bartok pizzicato. Play a tremolo. Understand style markings. Pay attention to dynamics.
