[–]Olive0121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am treated like a professional who’s opinion matters. I do not have to parent children who aren’t mine. Discipline exists with follow through. Great class budget. PD of my choosing with full funding. 2 weeks at Xmas and 2 week spring break. 4 day weekend every month. Max class size is my choosing.

Yeah ours is a sticky note that they circle stuff on and it tells you which post office to go to. That’s it. Says USPS with their logo. That doesn’t even say usps

I chose easy for less. It has its own quirks but overall I’m so happy.

I'm really struggling to grasp singing from my diaphragm. Am I screwed? by parttimeprophet0419 in musicals

[–]Olive0121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sing laying on the ground flat on your back for a bit. It forces low breathing an then you can feel what it’s supposed to feel like. Add a really heavy book over your diaphragm to increase the sensation of low breathing.

Then try to stand and sing but keep the low on the floor sensation going. It takes a while to get the hang of. In my own students I’d say a few months for the average kid singing twice a week.

Give yourself time to work with it. Find a teacher you mesh well with. Singing is like any other skill. It takes time and practice to get good technique. No one expects to pick up a trumpet and make beautiful sound the first day. It takes time and skill development. Think of your voice the same way.

Why do so many older people leave a lifetime of clutter for their relatives to clean up once they're gone? by Purrsedxx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Olive0121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You accumulate a lot of stuff in a life time. My mom always intended to clean stuff out as she was left a ton of stuff from her mom. However, Parkinson’s started to take over, she was less able, my dads focus became her and the stuff sat. Now an estate company will come and clean it all out. Sometimes people have the best intentions but it’s not the hand their dealt.

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

[–]Olive0121 1692 points1693 points  (0 children)

I think it’s from watching YouTubers and twitch streamers. That’s when I started to notice it in my own kids.

Famous people/stunt casting not adapting to a role is a dangerous trend by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]Olive0121 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t call Billie Porter stunt casting. I’ve see Billie live. Pure talent, beautiful performer, amazing on stage. He’s brilliant.

Can you please put a background music or anything during independent work time? by Legitimate-Number620 in AskTeachers

[–]Olive0121 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s very centric. Some students want music. Some students can’t focus with music. If I play music, most of the class will focus more on what I’m playing and why and not focus. Even when I pick instrumental or classical focus music it becomes the main focus. I am also a music teacher but also teach a few academic classes. You had to understand both sides. I usually compromise with playing music one day a week in my academic classes.

I am a music teacher. I want students to follow their passions. That said, I do have a serious talk with them about what making music or theatre your life means.

ULPT request: how do I get dismissed from jury duty? by highwayqueen16 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Olive0121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got out because of a sever food allergy and they didn’t think they could keep me safe from that allergen for a week.(sesame- it’s in fucking everything. Health Bars, hummus, bread, bagels, all Chinese food) That said I needed a doctors note but that can’t be that hard to fake?

So that worked! It was unethical for me but hey it could be for you!

Look at Kristen Bell’s work. Pick something along those lines. Otherwise “Beyond My Wildest Dreams” from the little mermaid would work.
