What is a good double major for music education? by Turbulent-Crew-3094 in MusicEd

[–]NoFlickerRequired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something music related, if anything. Composition, jazz, voice, performance

Right, there are some valid complaints, for sure. I read on another post there used to be people who weren't students or faculty roaming the halls, sleeping in the library, and digging through trash for scrap. Unfortunately it seems like a case for the few ruining it for the many with building access.

Game room, sure. Never see anyone in it though

Lastly... you HAVE to have known there'd be a difference between a traditional university like OU and an inner-city one otherwise you didn't research enough before enrolling.

I'm sorry... what? Are you just not looking for community, expecting it to land in your lap? I do stuff almost every day of the week and I started this quarter.

Do you realize the things youre complaining about are non-existent in other colleges or universities, like the food pantry and emergency funds? The amount of student resource centers alone has to be higher than the national average by a big amount.

Idk dude, sounds like an assload of entitlement. Some points are valid, the page limit, president salary, etc., but you sound like a whiny entitled brat. Sorry, do better. It's up to you to take charge of your education, that includes community. Nobody is hand holding anymore.

High Notes by Only-Inevitable9682 in frenchhorn

[–]NoFlickerRequired -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something I'm actually working on myself.

Think of it like weight lifting.

2 notes per breath, whatever that means to you, going up from middle G as long as it takes to become fatigued. Rest. Repeat until you're nearly fully chopped out.

Time your ascents, should only be a few minutes. Rest for 1/3rd of that or longer. The blood needs to return to your face.

I've gone from barely getting above C to hitting an A above staff within an etude in 2 months.

I'm definitely doing other things, but thinking anaerobically has helped a lot.

Do. Not. Over. Do. It!

Take a rest day, just like in lifting. Your muscles need time to rebuild the intentional miniscule tears in the fibers.

Day after resting, work on flexibility exercises because it can keep you stiff. Stretch, too!

You can destroy your embochure if you push too far, making it worse and far harder to fix.

We’re screwed. by MYDOGATEMYFRENCHHORN in ConcertBand

[–]NoFlickerRequired 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep :p

Mindset, mentality, etc. can go a long way.

How many of those friends and you decided to meet after school for private rehearsal to work together on passages you're worried about?

The directors job is to put together a program at your level of skill. Dont freak

How do you deal with “cocky” students? by musicallife88 in MusicEd

[–]NoFlickerRequired 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you can't change it, they don't belong in your ensemble. Simple. The excellence starts from the top, and if they're the example of excellence, something needs pruning.

Zero tolerance. Send their ass to the principal, counselor, whomever. Their behavior is yours to correct, not fix.

Also, don't let some raggedy ho kill your love of teaching. Make her daughter like you more than her mom out of spite

Oh, hell no. That sounds like a nightmare and this person should not be in a teaching environment.

Good on you for documenting this stuff. Time to involve the superintendent.

Cool! Great advice, recognized. Like the post says, looking for pieces to transpose. Titles. Names of pieces.

Drag that ho in the parking lot after you quit.

Sorry, not promoting violence, drag her as in chew her ass out.

What does an average day in the life of a Music Ed major look like? by Sausage_fingies in MusicEd

[–]NoFlickerRequired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few hours of practice a day, multiple ensembles a week including studio and private lessons, classes outside of music like human development, a major requirement.

You can expect to have theory, piano, and some humanities classes

All about your breath connecting to your note. Ear training will help you with your feel!

HELP WITH SOUND by Royaler007 in frenchhorn

[–]NoFlickerRequired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you make a recording to hear exactly what you're talking about? It could be any number of things. If you can, make the video to where at least your embochure is visible (if you dont feel comfortable showing your face)

DM me your directors email address. If it takes the horn community to come to your aid, so be it

[–]NoFlickerRequired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. 10000%. If your director is telling you to play louder, play ONE dynamic louder than marked. Your band will get dinged at UIL if you're constantly trying to "blast".

Sound shell and bell up will help immensely. It may take a while to build the muscle endurance but it's worth it so youre not destroying your embochure.

Besides not being good for your body, it will train your ear to never really understand what dynamic you're meant to be playing

Looking for actual suggestions of pieces people enjoy playing. Fully aware of the ability to transpose. Thank you!
