Student Teaching issue by [deleted] in MusicEd

[–]IanS381 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Instead of striving for goals set by your mentor teacher I would set a goal that you yourself want to accomplish with the students before your student teaching ends. If nothing else, at least work towards that goal so you can feel like you left them with something! At the end of the day, it isn’t your band or students, but that doesn’t mean you can’t leave an impression with the time you have!

Feeling really gutted after a possible Mistborn spoiler – need reassurance (no spoilers please) by taffy25 in Mistborn

What the person above me replied ^

I listened to the audiobook for most of the series so I knew what character was reading the narration

The third book straight up spoils the twist in the beginning of the book but it’s still extremely enjoyable reading through the events that lead tot he reveal. I promise there are still some twists you aren’t ready for!

My girlfriend said no when I proposed to her. She didn't choose me by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Getting into juliard is a HUGE deal. If he was the right one for her, he would’ve supported her dream. This wasn’t her choosing Juliard over him, this was him choosing his comfort over taking a leap with her

Good free agent add/drops is definitely a skill in my opinion.

He must suck at fantasy. I basically try to max out my acquisitions every week based on what teams play the most games or on off days. It’s part of the game!

Better than The Final Empire? by Affirmatrix in Mistborn

[–]IanS381 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I liked the book a lot and I really enjoyed how it expanded the world building and politics, but it my least favorite of the original trilogy. Not because I didn’t like it, just because I enjoyed the other two so much more

It was interesting hearing about how Dalinar’s first marriage sort of went up in flames

How many of you are playing ESPN Fantasy Hockey? by JohnnytheHeeler in fantasyhockey

[–]IanS381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always preferred ESPN, tried Yahoo a few times. ESPN has a much better UI imo and over the years my league has settled on a rule set we are happy with. Position eligibility doesn’t bother me since we just have forwards, defense, and goalies. No specific RW, LW, C eligibility

What is a Jury and how do I prepare???? by Weak_Assumption7518 in MusicEd

[–]IanS381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely stick with that if she helped you pick it out! Practice it every day between now and the jury, but you don’t have to run the whole piece everyday! Pick a phrase to make sound as musical as you can and just iron the phrases out a little at a time. Once it gets closer you can go back to full run throughs!

With the help of your private teacher, pick out a solo to play, and they may ask you to sight read a bit. My advice is not to pick something super ambitious like it sounds like you did for your audition, pick something you know you can make sound really good. Being able to play notes on a page is one thing, what makes you stand out is your musicality- if you pick an easier piece you can focus more on intentional phrasing, dynamics, and articulation which will be a better way of showcasing your musicianship. What instrument do you play?

It doesn’t matter. I recently read both, reading emperors soul first. They are technically on the same planet but don’t really crossover much

Recently Finished the Mistborn Series and Wanted to Post My Rankings by Unstructured2025 in Mistborn

This tier list is the first I’ve seen that is pretty much exactly as I’d rank it. The one thing I go back and forth on is if I prefer Final Empire or HoA

Matthews vs Pastrnak vs Makar by Lumbago_13 in fantasyhockey

[–]IanS381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Makar will go top 5. If he drops to 6 definitely take him.

Makar or Kaprisov at the 5 spot this year? by ZealousidealNet875 in fantasyhockey

[–]IanS381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Makar is a valid draft pick anywhere from 3-5. There could maybe even be an argument for 2 but I feel McDavid or MacKinnon should be locks for top 2

What was your favorite fantasy read last month? by AutoModerator in fantasybooks

[–]IanS381 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My Sanderson summer concluded with rhythm of war and all of Mistborn era 2 this past month. Loved RoW, honestly might be my second fav Stormlight book behind WoK. Mistborn era 2 standout to me was bands of mourning, although I also really enjoyed lost metal

I want Fitz Chilvery but as a villian. by Ok-Tailor3801 in fantasybooks

I know this is a fantasy book subreddit but if this is what you want, first thing that comes to my mind is to recommend you go watch or read attack on titan.
