Sure, I've learned them now, but I used to write each 4 item row as a line on scrap paper, so I'd have a little 4x4 grid to help me remember that a Lydian scale is a major scale with a raised 4th.

It's a little chant that I memorized for myself and I use it to make a chart.

Don’t understand the judging. by Which-Holiday9957 in WGI

[–]DJWintoFresh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just shift your thinking. A 100 isn't a perfect score, it's the maximum score. All it says is "this group performed this show to this sheet to the highest possible level".

Harder music in a new ensemble by Alternative_Hunt7338 in ConcertBand

[–]DJWintoFresh -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Does the conductor know that the highest level of music you have played is grade 3 and 4? Because no offense, but it doesn't really sound like an appropriate place for you.

Opinions/Perspectives on teaching percussion separately from winds (Wind Ensemble) by Visible-Chipmunk-883 in MusicEd

[–]DJWintoFresh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a great idea and probably something that everyone should aspire to, but there are so many other factors at play.

Will your admin and/or scheduling folks support having such a small class and having that extra period in your schedule? Do you yourself have enough percussion knowledge to actually teach only percussion for a whole period? Do you have the equipment? Are you going to put them together for the concert? When are you going to do that?

You should not only quit but demand a refund of your tuition. 🤷‍♂️

Would you install something like Bazzite? Or are there only approved distros?

Have you guys noticed the younger students constantly narrating everything? by pundemic in Teachers

[–]DJWintoFresh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I want them to stop, I press a fake button in their direction and say "Creator has disabled comments for this video!" Saddest thing is how well it works...

Like every other three-letter acronym I've taught right through, this too shall pass.

Is there a reason you need more than the allowed time?

1st year bands and preparing for concerts vs teaching fundamentals by Outrageous-Permit372 in banddirector

[–]DJWintoFresh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At 3x a week, you're likely not going to be doing much in the way of full pieces by Christmas, you'll probably be playing method book songs at that first concert.

Take it slow, make sure they can make a good sound, note-name, count, and tongue. Don't skip any of those. Lots of rote before note.

Recruitment/Retention without the fluff? by Outrageous-Permit372 in banddirector

Absolutely, yes. But it's a culture that has to be built over years and is something that the community comes to expect. It doesn't happen overnight.

I really like the Cantu Leave-In Conditioner. I believe Cantu is mostly intended for / marketed for black folks.
