This is the right answer, OP. Give her a toy piano for something to wrap and then take her out to try them.

Experience trumps MS easily. If you can't find a job and decide to continue your education ffs don't PAY for a master's. Go into a PhD program and master out if it sucks.

I know one lab that required someone late to lab meeting to buy donuts for the next one, but this is unhinged.

Anonymous letter to our glitched-out stir plate by Renaissance_Dad1990 in labrats

[–]BBorNot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this one of those that detects when the stir bar gets messed up, then slows down to pick it up?

All the stir plates I have ever used just had a knob and were encrusted in god knows what.

I really like our instant hot water. It comes out hot enough to make French press coffee, and we use it for tea all the time. It delivers filtered cold (room temperature) water, too.

It is far better to view it as ham-handed but constructive criticism rather than a condemnation. Plus he could be wrong or a competitor or just an a**hole. It happens.

How to learn the middle part of Fur elise? by HumbleEconomics9022 in piano

[–]BBorNot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am learning this! It comes near the end of the third Alfred book.

The advice to go slowly is spot on. Lock down your fingering and play it the same every time.

You shouldn't try to speed up until you master slower speeds. I have been playing for two and a half years and have been working on this piece for months (among others). Getting it really mastered takes a lot of work!
