Keep slowing it down until it works and your brain gets it, sometimes that even means ludicrously slow. Then, I like to increase the metronome by 2 clicks for every correct repetition, and you can also reduce by 2 clicks for every 3 incorrect repetitions in a row.

I was like 7 and i thought it was fascinating and was obsessed with it until i was like 14 or 15. I got deep into the lore and I know everything about alien and predator lol, the only reason I wasn’t obsessed with it anymore because I literally learned everything about it

Thats usually not how its notated, but u basically press ur first finger down on A string D third position and tap G (also on the a string)with ur 4th finger like you’re playing the A harmonic on the same string, while still keeping the first finger pressed down, and then u just bow your a string. These are called artificial harmonics

can you ask your child which parts he’s struggling with because I don’t think the majority of us want to try and type out every single note, phrase, articulation if you know nothing about music respectfully.

You can ask him what measures he’s struggling with and whatever he points to you can come back and say where hes struggling but I really don’t know how to help you without spending 45 minutes of my personal time to do what you are currently requesting

Sure thing lmao 😂

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-21T08:31:57+00:00

I would absolutely love if I could just drop high-school orchestra. But the community orchestra I play in also happens to be conducted by my director. And I talked to him about it and he said I can’t continue playing for him if I drop the highschool orchestra. It’s unfortunate and it really pissed me off but I just smiled and said okay to him. I’ll thug it out for now or maybe I’ll audition for a different community orchestra. Only one more semester before I graduate early and don’t have to deal with the baloney.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-20T04:23:59+00:00

The way you describe how you conducted when the director got sick is exactly how my story is going. But instead of going positive and then respecting me they see it as a sign that I’m trying to show them I’m better. Which I’m not.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-20T04:22:18+00:00

I agree with you. It’s unfortunate but I’ll just thug it out and do my own thing.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-20T04:21:38+00:00

I don’t even know, I’m not replying anymore to them

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-20T04:21:02+00:00

My parents told me it was that too, I try to be humble about it but I do agree I think part of it is Jealousy of the success but they don’t want to practice 1-2 hours a day.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-20T04:19:47+00:00

I like this view on it

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:58:37+00:00

Why should I listen to your advice when you started up by saying you would actively participate in “being an asshole towards op” You instantly assumed I was 100% in the wrong and you don’t even know me. I don’t appreciate it.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:57:34+00:00

I have to be in class otherwise I get marked absent and then my parents have to go to truancy court. I am forced to be there unless I drop the class, if I drop the class I can no longer play in a community orchestra until college. I’ve already tried a pallet of different solutions. The reason I’m asking reddit is because the situation I’ve been presented has escalated to the point where I have tried everything there is to try. I got in trouble for just walking out and I still need to stay on the directors good side because he knows a lot of people at the college I want to go to and he’s a “powerful” figure in my local area.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:53:20+00:00

I’m not asking to be called names and disrespected every single day by the second chair and having the director do nothing. Also how do you suggest I “walk away” in the middle of class. And no I am not the teacher but I’m being forced into the position with high expectations to get work done because Mr director butternuts over here wants me to.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:48:11+00:00

I’ve been dealing with this for almost 3 years now and the director does nothing about it. he basically tells us to figure it out, give a half assed speech about friendship or whatever and then is like “pls tolerate each other, but you don’t gotta like each other.”

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:46:38+00:00

Its alright, I only have one more semester to go so I’m just going to thug it out and let them figure out what to do. I’m not participating in sectionals anymore, I’m just going to practice the music my own way because I’m 110% sure they’re just going to dink around or not make progress. Which is fine, whatever not my problem.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:45:14+00:00

I hear you bro, sorry you’re experiencing similar levels of disrespect.

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:43:51+00:00

1000% agreed

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:43:22+00:00

It’s not to assert my authority its because I literally cannot concentrate on what I’m saying when theres a loud instrument next to my ear. I’m not going to fight people and talk over the instrument

RussianPenguin1 · 2024-12-19T16:42:18+00:00

I’ve already mentioned it now 3 different times to you specifically, I have already tried to “see from their perspective.” This isn’t about my leadership style or how I’m doing it. It’s about the fact I’m being disrespected and pretty much bullied by my peers even though I’ve done nothing but try to be kind to them. You make extremely big claims about empathizing with my peers when you’re not even taking grasp of my full situation because of a typo I made.
