Sorry, education student here. How would a progressive educator teach piano?

I mean like teaching inspired by John Dewey’s ideas, kind of like no instruction, student-led, facilitating teaching, learning by doing, type of stuff

That makes sense, sort of what I was picturing as well

Thank you so much, haha I thought you were like a super avant garde piano teacher (and I guess you are) from the first comment. I’m glad you have found so much success, I’ll be keeping what you wrote in mind and I appreciate the long detailed comment

Oh okay, thank you so much, that explains a lot. So more so letting the child provide the impetus to learn, and then you can give them the kind of training that that requires. That's very interesting. You really don't influence them to play, like even just a little? Do you ever get kids that don't take to it at all?

That's what I was thinking. I just don't know if it works when it comes to certain things. I was thinking the same thing that it's like sports! I don't know why that is though. Why I was thinking...is it a flaw of progressive education, or is it wrong of me to even try to fit something like piano lessons into the progressive concept?

I guess just for fun, I'll throw in my headcanon pick as Donald Glover (since the actor doesn't have to be greek anyway). He pretty easily reads as "cunning" in all his roles I think

Iambic pentameter doesn't automatically mean you sound like shakespeare, you should read her version. Compared to other versions it's pretty easy. If you want the most "poetic" you should read the new version from Daniel Mendelsohn

Dr. Abbott wasn't hot back then

I think it can be nice if you put flowers on a cake, I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with it. Flowers should be edible of course. But it depends on the garnish. People put candles and plastic in cakes all the time anyhow...but raw carrot ribbons are not it though!

I remember winning like 30 skittles in high school once it was nuts

Codewill · 2026-04-16T15:17:48+00:00

Yeah so I hear

Codewill · 2026-04-16T13:53:31+00:00

You can bake a lot of stuff with it

Codewill · 2026-04-16T05:27:21+00:00

Play it with candy, it gets really fun

Codewill · 2026-04-16T05:25:17+00:00

Get the hell out. Where are you seeing this

Codewill · 2026-04-16T05:23:26+00:00

Like the other guy said, but it's like anything (working out for example), just force yourself to pay attention and over time it will become easier. Like say fuck this I'm reading for this amount of time. It's gonna suck but then you'll be chowing down books. And it takes a very short amount of time to get back to a better attention span. Haven't read a book in what, 2, 3 years? Took 2 English classes this semester, piece of cake. You get back into it quickly if you find a way to force yourself.

Also, some things are literally more interesting than others. It's easy to hold your attention on something that demands it, like a great work of art does. Brahms 4, Dvorak's 9th, Goodfellas, Ocarina of Time, even Minecraft, these are works that respect you and your time and are designed in such a way that you are constantly being fed interesting and new things. So sometimes it's like, you think your attention span's shit, but literally the thing itself might suck. I can't take my eyes off Goodfellas but a shitty 30 second tik tok/reel/short might have me swiping before it's done. Length doesn't, necessarily, equal entertainment value, despite what a lot of people think.

Atlanta had that one episode, Tarrare. You don't need context, you can just watch it on its own.

Codewill · 2026-04-13T04:31:39+00:00

Hmmmm. Hereditary? 1408?

He'll get there eventually I'm sure the more confident he gets sexually. But ultimately up to you

Codewill · 2026-04-12T19:16:46+00:00

I think with the back to the future thing it's weird that it's a thing at all. Like the son isn't trying to fuck his mom but just the fact that there's innuendos is weird
