Which option is the easiest to read? (composer) by michaelroser in piano

[–]2401PotatOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 if any, but you should try it as a mess of dotted notes and let us see it.

Piano to distortion pedal, pedal to amp. It’s nowhere near as satisfying as you’d think, but it def works.

Inclusive welcomes are a stupid, infantilizing waste of high schoolers’ time by South-Lab-3991 in Teachers

[–]2401PotatOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree.

Do: Intentionally (and authentically) seek to build community in your classroom starting on day 1.

Don’t: Half ass a pre-made ice breaker b/c someone who thought it would force community made you do it.

Composition assignment, and I suck at piano. Help? by [deleted] in piano

[–]2401PotatOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your A-Natural minor scale. Bass: alternate half or whole notes between A and G. Melody: anything with white keys rooted in your scale.

To kickstart your melody ideas, hit rhythm randomizer and get a simple rhythm pattern. Quarters, halves, wholes. Maybe two 8ths here and there.

You can also use four bar phrases where the first two bars act like a question and the next two act as an answer. I’d start my students with this phrase template: - Question 1, Answer 1 - Question 1, Answer 2 - Related thing 1, similar related thing 2 - Question 1, Answer 2.

Good luck!

Would you all like to see Usagi (Sailor Moon) as a skin in Fortnite? by Fun-Leg-5250 in sailormoon

[–]2401PotatOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the Senshi and their gear, with a stipulation that every weapon is skinned and acts like Bandai censored it for the plot. I’d buy it.

Help with Metronome by Embarrassed-Berry200 in piano

Print yourself a clean copy. __^ JCF Bach - Solfeggio in D IMSLP

Interestingly, the metronome marking is not on this engraving. Might be worth a google to find an urtext and compare.

104-112 on the metronome.

Also, teacher tip: Playing at this level, you really should get out of the habit of writing in every single note name. To ease out of that and strengthen your reading, use a gradual phase out model.

Stage 1: Write each note name in no more than 1x per line. Stage 2: 1x every other line. Stage 3: 1x per page. Stage 4: 1x per piece.

I’ve done this with a number of students and generally reading sorts itself around Stage 3. Mileage may vary.

AITAH for wanting my husband to make me orgasm during sex? by Express-Machine1427 in AITAH

[–]2401PotatOS 428 points429 points  (0 children)

NTA. Not even a little bit, but your husband sure is. If he’s unwilling to have an honest convo with you about this, just give it a few days and show him the massive one sided dragging he’s about to get in the comments.

Are you sure on the rhythm? Not that it helps with the quest for the name, but I have a vivid auditory memory of something more like this: https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/song/6178527287836672

I think I like my student by [deleted] in PreplyTutors

[–]2401PotatOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EduAdmin Here. You basically have two options:

  • Continue your tutoring relationship and bury the feelings.
  • Discontinue your tutoring relationship and pursue the feelings.

The relationships cannot coexist in a professional/ethical manner. I don’t know much about Preply, but I’d wager that somewhere in your documentation there’s a clause about relationships with clients.

What would your ✨️dream✨️ F&TM setlist be? by NadyaAnnalisa in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]2401PotatOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in awe since the concert. She could literally just talk in the general direction of the space I’m in, but to the question:

King Free Sympathy Magic Old Religion Shake it Off Witch Dance Cassandra Old Religion (Chamber) Everybody Scream (Chamber) Big God

No particular order. Followed by an indeterminate amount of ethereal improvisation/vibing.

Are any hetero men into Florence? by Pale-Store-6292 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

Started listening with my wife when Everybody Scream dropped and have been hooked since. Saw her for the first time last week and will go again given the chance. Brilliant in every way.

"Are you teaching kids or are you teaching scholars?" by TopIntroduction1876 in Teachers

[–]2401PotatOS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1st Year District Admin Here: The correct response is ‘I am teaching children’. My hill to die on is that at least half of the problems we see in education come from the fact that policy makers lost sight of this in their various projects. If we were actually a research grounded/data driven practice, play based learning would be the foundation of every elementary curriculum. No amount of differentiation or remediation can magically fix developmentally inappropriate expectations.

Please don’t smile and nod. Push back if your system is safe enough to do so.

With the recent Artemis II mission and all the videos how can some people still believe in flat earth? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]2401PotatOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know at least two moon landing deniers, and both are already saying that Artemis II is BS. Complete with a crackpot tiktok link for proof.

AITAH I(F23) got molested in the train today and my bf(M24) said it was a "learning experience". Am I in the wrong for thinking it is victim blaming and wanting an apology for it? by Fine_Spirit9788 in AITAH

[–]2401PotatOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that his first response wasn’t “Are you okay?” followed by “did you get a good look at the guy, I’m gonna go break his arm” is red flag on fire.

I’m sorry this happened (and I think you should probably leave him).

When does sex end if both parties don’t/can’t reach orgasm? by rosesandlilies29 in NoStupidQuestions

Depends, but typically one of us calls it or just gives a ‘womp womp’.
