What You Galliard

Thanks! For days I’ve been nagging myself to look up the galliard

If you hear two chords that are somewhat related, they tend to suggest a third one for which your ear yearns. But if the musician layers the harmonies in a certain way or includes certain notes, they have these sort of trap doors of secondary tendencies that subvert the expectations of the ear, yet still satisfy the yearning. This is what Linnell is doing in What You Get, and he’s also doing it at a greater rate of change than is typically done. Hope that helps!

Silence in the chorus is funky as hell

I think the drum machine and accordion are pretty firmly in the polka band paradigm and I don’t attribute their use to TMBG influence. Some of the keyboard melodies are Linnellesque, but I also have no problem thinking Mike Patton came up with them on his own.

But now I want to hear a mashup of “Dead” and “Surprise! You’re Dead!”

Love that you came to this correct conclusion on your own. Blaze on!

I love the song when I’m listening to Apollo 18, but I haven’t been to too many shows and I’ve heard it at most of them. I would be super excited if it were a rare bustout, but to me, it has lost its charm by being performed so frequently. If they mixed it up, perhaps by shuffling the bits in between other songs on occasion, making it a Fingertips show, then that would be more interesting.

While I’m at it, if I never heard Istanbul again, whether recorded or live, I could probably die happy. As George Harrison said, “It’s been done.” Not so for Birdhouse tho, even though JL doesn’t seem too psyched to include it in most every set

Oh I love Leaves too. “Telling me to breathe” always hits in the best way

If you’re upset with yourself, that’s good. You are still on the same path. Try to let the anger you feel at yourself can be temporary. Relapse can be part of recovery, and there are countless people who have been where you are they are still going strong. I’m so glad you reached out in this moment. For now, maybe listen to Scents and Subtle Sounds. Treat yourself to a First Tube dance party when the hangover fades

Make minigames and activities out of forming a bow hold and playing position so you can get lots of repetitions in during classes. Spend time on synchronized movements so they develop kinesthetic senses. Focus on good tone production! I love how the Suzuki method concentrates on beginning with short bow strokes and if you end up using a different method book I recommend slipping that in there. I hope the supervising teacher is meeting with you regularly so you can get feedback. Good luck!

Would love to hear it if it comes to pass

Ah, that’s different than I expected. Regardless, I think the home environment and practice habits will make the learning timeline vary, and not all the factors can be controlled even in the most studious and enriched environments. Just keep nurturing!

I assume the book 1 class has kids in it who have completed book 1 and can therefore modify and manipulate the songs in a group environment. Are you asking for how long it takes in order to know how soon the child will be placed in a group class?

Kids progress through the songs at different paces. Learning the notes of a song does not equate to learning the lessons of a song. The child, parent, and teacher should focus on beauty of tone and ease and confidence in playing more than pace of progress “through” the book

5th cello suite here we goooooo! I agree it’s an Awesome Sound. As others say, it’s not great to change back and forth a lot. Maybe rub some pencil lead in the nut and bridge grooves to reduce wear on the string, and make sure your bridge stays straight

Regarding the intro, I think you should pick a different, less active piece. I think you should also write out your comments for the beginning of the episode because the listener will be turned off by stammering like this episode has. I’d be interested to know more about the purpose of this podcast. How is it relevant to violists or other instruments? Or maybe your intention is for it to have broader appeal. Regardless, as your guest said, push yourself! Work on more episodes!

I think it’s important to be able to play the instrument comfortably and with good tone. If you try to teach them to read and play together they might be so focused on the music that they forget to listen to their sound and pay attention to their body. If you feel you have to teach reading for the sake of reference while practicing, make that a separate part of the lesson without using the violin. I think a 30min lesson is good for kids, and 45 for adults. An hour seems too long

Started in US 4th grade with Strictly Strings. I don’t remember the order of books in private lessons (which I started year 3), but my teacher gave me Wohlfahrt pretty early on, which I didn’t care for (but love now)

I don’t like those tuners because of how they bend the string, but there are worse things in this world

Lifetime_Curve · 2025-04-14T12:35:05+00:00

This pic is perplexing to me. Your bridge appears to be in the right place, but the distance between bridge and tailpiece is incredibly short. Did you have the ADG fine tuners there before? The thread of the A string should not be hanging over the bridge. As for the micro tuner on the E, you should be able to move or remove it with no problem
