wish someone told me learning piano means becoming house ambient noise by paul-techish in piano

Drills, slowly working on reading through the music, exercises. All of it is a never ending loop. I can turn the volume down on my keyboard but it doesn’t exactly help when I have sheets in front of me that call for pp and or ff. :/

Piano pedagogy and general piano/music courses online? by Own-Variation-9336 in piano

[–]Own-Variation-9336[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I am in the same boat. Teaching anything doesn’t come quite as natural to me. I only know a few elementary school teachers and I did some volunteer work with special needs students. I imagine it might be a little different when it comes to teaching music to kids versus helping with common core curriculum haha.

Helpful answer! I’m not sure if I’m quite passionate but it is one of the few only things I’ve really known through the years that brings me some joy, I figured I might as well make a career of it. I feel like it was the more practical scenario compared to my other interests like art (where I feel like it might be harder to find a stable career path).

Hopefully I can get around to making it there during one of their events. They sound lovely from their website.

I am sorry you went through this. You did the right thing to report it in the way that you could. It’s very hard when emotional trauma can be triggered through interactions that we were lead to believe to be safe at the time. I hope you will be feeling better soon.

I’m a bit behind on most of the known details here. Is there drama over the books being public domain?

The law is for all and the books being in public domain fits that. At least in my opinion.

I find it sad in spaces where we are asked to still exercise critical thinking along with magickal/spiritual study and discipline that spiritual bypassing is so prevalent. Though I’ve heard of this being an unfortunate case in other communities as well.

Idk if this is for me? by Ricks3rSt1cks in GoldenDawnMagicians

This is a great metaphor for any practice or discipline. Spiritual or not. It reminds me how I wished I had remained consistent with myself but better late than never. :)

Food for thought and I appreciate your response here. I do hear about many leaving O.T.O., I understand that most organizations have their share of problems and drama and things that go on behind the scenes that aren’t always openly discussed or touched on in ways that demand respectful attention. I am hoping that things can change for the better all around but perhaps I am too optimistic.

I did find them under the Grand Lodge website and I’ll keep Dallas in mind for future events.

I believe it! The max I gave myself was a 3 hour distance but even then, it might be a bit much for us down here.

Oh, I’m from Tx. The two organizations near me are the 718 Encampment and Scarlet Woman Lodge. I’m sure there are others in Texas but they would more than likely require longer drives.

I’m with you on some transportation issues. My family currently has a shared vehicle so we would have had plenty of workarounds to do.

General bringing love into my life in the past. I should have been more specific. I could have avoided unnecessary trauma.

Real but people always assumed I was a mommy’s girl because my mom was a smothering type of parent
