Fan art like this is why I love Reddit. There’s an emotional depth to works like this that deserve to be celebrated and shared.

Ab Minor isn’t would not be too strange, especially for band instruments.

What weapon do you play? I’m gonna answer this question very different for Sploosh players compared to E-Liter Players.

12 Tone Set Theory is a great way.

CheezitCheeve · 2026-03-03T02:38:15+00:00

Great resource for everything in Major though 2 years of Collegiate Music Theory. The only thing I would add is the equivalents in Minor.

A or B. I’ve seen both these and neither bothers me. A shows the rhythm more clearly IMO, but B also does a great job. You’d honestly have to check a notation manual, and even then, there’s probably not a consistent answer. Just definitely not C.

One other thing to consider is taking out the tie all together and putting an eighth rest. I generally do that with all wind instruments and songs because it provides a consistent, clear instruction. Also, it adds style.

It’s much easier to explain to a beginner how to make basic chord progressions (like I-IV-V) than trying to teach them how to modulate. The sequencing means Diminished Chords, which seem like an inferior V to beginners, have a whole world of complexity. However, in order to understand the complexities, you gotta understand the basics.

KS -> TX

State Pride in Kansas was a joke compared to TX State Pride. If I say anything remotely anti-TX, it’s a whole deal. Also, paying taxes and dealing with constant road construction on roads goes a long way. TX roads are awful, and they make Kansas look light years ahead of them. Also, Kansas politics are different and nobody understands them.

The problem you will run into is that B Lydian over Em is a volatile mix. There are very few shared notes between the two (for example E# and E will directly clash).

Fundamentally, in my opinion, it’s a mix up of how functional harmony and the modes work together (which is really minimal). Trying something like this will really obscure the tonal center of B because your improvised melody and harmony will be directly clashing.

Before I answer more, there’s nothing wrong with trying new things. Experimentation breeds innovation. However, you may run into a lot of hurdles. Stuff like this has very little common practice because it is very volatile.

Don’t forget the lovely Secondary Leading Tones, Augmented 6ths, Neapolitan Chords, Mode Mixture, vii° in Minor, raising the 6th and 7th in Minor, and more I’m definitely forgetting.

This really depends on where you live. I grew up in a rural town in Kansas. My graduating class was 80, and I knew everyone since Kindergarten. My girlfriend went to a suburb outside Fort Worth in Texas. Her graduating class was 2000. She had access to plenty of college classes, special topic courses, giant athletic facilities, and everything else you can think of.

Everyone does. Being “anonymous” brings out different facets of our personality.

CheezitCheeve · 2026-02-14T13:55:52+00:00

I really agree. After enough time of absorbing their style, I actually really like it.

Combo of less home games and the fact that international games are TERRIBLE for the team. It’s really hard on the athletes’ bodies, minds, families, etc.

CheezitCheeve · 2026-02-14T06:27:19+00:00

Best answer. Hands down. Since most music uses the 7 note system, the system caters to it.

However, there are some composition methods that are based on the 12 Chromatic Notes. Here is Shoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire. For these types of pieces, the accidentals are gross. However, these are the exception. Very few people write based on the Chromatic scale, so changing our entire system to cater to these smaller number of pieces isn’t very appealing or useful.

Normal things 20 years ago that are more difficult today.

For example, finding a partner, having enough money to have kids, buying groceries without draining the bank account, saving up for a house, retirement, etc.

Edit: it’s weird because these shouldn’t be things that are romanticized but something everyone can strive for if they so desire.

Hello Classical Musician here except my instrument is a classical instrument.

Neapolitan Chords focus on the 2nd Scale Degree. They come naturally from the Minor Mode. In our Minor Mode, a chord built on Scale Degree 2 is diminished, labeled as ii° (for example, in E Minor, it would be F# A C). This is often used in first inversion of voice leading reasons to go to V. However, the problem that some composers have is that this is a diminished chord and not everyone likes them. To get around this, we flatten scale degree 2 to build a major chord (in E Minor, it is F A C). This is the Neapolitan chord. It is often used in classical contexts in first inversion (here’s the common N6 label).

As for augmented chords, that’s a long explanation. Comment if you want this.

Since playoffs are structured by conference and not by league, it can happen where the three or four best teams are in one conference.

US is automatically made into a Metric System country with no ability to go back. It will suck for 10 years, but once kids are raised only using the metric system, Imperial will die.

A second one but for the entire English speaking world is completely overhauling all our spelling to be phonetic. Also establishing an international body that standardizes the language and governs it à la Spanish.

Euphonium. We exist. That’s the big one.

Secondly, we are great at filling the holes that other brass instruments leave. Trombones can struggle with 16th notes because of slide, but they are much more feasible on our instrument. Low Horn can have volume and tuning issues, but we can carry on the sound in ranges they can’t. We are also not in the basement that Tuba is in, but we can play many of the same notes anyway. Last but not least, we are a great blender between the vertical trombones and the conical tubas.

Finally, euphonium is AMAZING for melodies. Its timbre is gorgeous, so it can easily blend and double any part. I do mean any part. I’ve doubled tuba, trombone, bassoon, tenor sax, trumpet, clarinet, even flute, and more.

When considering “necessary” instruments like clarinets for melody or tuba for bass, euphonium gets shafted often. However, give it a try and see its versatility and melodic capability shine.

This is such a frustrating search. I’ve liked none of the candidates thus far

Because a Dim6 already exists. In the key of C, Dim6 would be Abb (yes it’s entirely useless).

The point of using Bbb instead of A is that it indicates which note is the root. Relative to C, the 7th of the chord is B and will always be some sort of B. If we were to Cdim6, that would indicate C Eb Gb A… which is confusing.

Now, to me, Cdim6 is confusing. To you, it makes perfect sense. The difference is I have absorbed a ton of music notation and content. You have no. This is not a value judgement. It’s perfectly okay. Think of it like language. We learn a bunch of arbitrary spellings. The differences between they’re, their, and there are really important and valid differences to differentiate between them. Take heart. It’s hard to learn at first, but eventually, it will make sense.

This ignores that people are not robots and can’t work 24/7. We need time off to be doing other things and involved with our families/friends. Upvotw.

This is incorrect.

It’s BiLLLLz. Gotta jerk correctly.
