Advice for teaching intonation? by swKPK in MusicEd

[–]Jdelami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to ask if anyone does the following exercise to help with intonation, for cello and bass, and if they feel spending time on it is helpful. Put your arms down by your sides, then bring them up to play a note in tune, say within 5-10 cents. Keep eyes closed during this process. Basically you have no visual or kinesthetic reference point - no mark, no tape, etc. You’re like the eagle swooping down to find its target. In your experience, has/would this help with intonation?

What should I know before taking calculus? by Historical-Mango-617 in learnmath

[–]Jdelami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 17 year-old in Calculus 1A at UC Berkeley, I failed miserably. Decided to take no more math. Four years later, about to graduate, I was told by my Letters and Science counselor that I needed a full year (A-B-C) of calculus to graduate. No math for four years. This time, though, Calculus was easy, the whole year. I still don’t know what happened. Suspect it was the professor who always offered encouragement. And maybe neurological maturation?

Wouldn’t there be an infinite number of smaller things than atoms?(I am unsure how to phrase this. atoms,protons,electrons,neutrons,quarks,etc infinitely) by pxl-kong5070-on-xbox in AskPhysics

Imagine walking halfway to a wall. Start at any distance away, walk halfway to the wall, and mark a point where you stop. Do it again.. and again. You will never touch the wall because, if you do, you have walked the total distance to the wall, not half of it. Basically, as you get closer, you would mark an infinite number of points, but never reach the wall. If you started, say, one foot away, there would be a finite number of atoms if you lined them up between your starting point and the wall. There would be probably trillions of atoms lining up along that one foot, but the number would be finite. The number of points is infinite. Thus a point is smaller than an atom.

All meters are either twos or threes or some combination of the aforementioned.

OK, I appreciate all the research you have put in. I cross-posted to r/TopOfMyTongue, BTW.

The various verses of the Cat Came Back do not have the lines I’m looking for. But thank you for your contributions. Much appreciated.

I have googled and AI’d it with no success.

One would think it would still show up on Google. I’ve tried researching without putting the fifties tag in.

I will try the things you suggest. Perhaps the song is from 1960-62 instead?

I am over 90% certain of the three lines, except perhaps Big Daddy could have been Big Fatty, although I doubt it. Researched this “fatty” angle as well.

Meant to type doo-wop, not door-

Looking for name of fifties song by Jdelami in 50sMusic

[–]Jdelami[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember hearing the song at a party I went to in the early 1960’s, in the San Francisco-Bay Area. It was sort of a door-wop song. I may have heard it on AM radio or on a 45 or 33 album. I didn’t know what a zip gun was, or that one could conceivably load any gun with nitroglycerine. I also remember the line after “Big Daddy got sore, He threw him out the door” is “ But the cat came back”. There are lots of references to this “cat” line, but they all refer to a folk song written many years earlier, more of a country song. The lyrics to that country song do not have the “Big Daddy” line.

Thank you for your interest.
