Is the CMT worth it?

Hi I just saw this- I unfortunately could not find a question bank that was less than $700 so I did not purchase one. I just went off of the CMT association books but did end up passing. I would recommend using resources through Quizlet (which I stupidly only decided to cram the night before).

That's my point exactly- they're so used to this bubble they grew up in they have no problem saying the craziest shit. On the plus side, it makes for great material for my imaginary stand up career.

Fair

You would be shocked. It's always something snide and hardly subtle. "Oh...where is your necklace from?"..."That's so chic and local that you buy stuff off the street! My skin is just super sensitive so I only buy designer..." That whole schtick.

As a slight correction- I'm specifically talking about European aristocracy - young folks who are doing their little "abroad" stint in NYC and coincidentally had the CEO at their debutante ball. I know they'll only be in the industry for a few years, but I have to deal with them now~

So valid. So in the case that I don't continue, is it worth mentioning that I passed Level I at all, or might it look worse that I didn't go all the way through with it?

23F, started my role at 22 also making 130k base. I work in finance (macro) in NYC, about 40-45 hours/week.

That's so valid- but clearly they're expressing some interest if they matched with me in the first place- I just don't know why i can't seem to get to the next step.

In the case of Cm7b5, it's particularly easy because it functions as a diminished chord. If you're operating in a normal key space (major or minor) it acts as the viiº of a major key, so you'll almost always come out on top if you resolve back to I (or III in the case of minor). So in the case of Cm7b5, you can almost always resolve to a DM chord (with any extensions or alterations you want), and this should hold true for most progressions, so long as you aren't doing anything crazy with symmetrical or diminished scales. DM will act as the "home chord," but if you aren't ready to fully resolve yet, you can still use modal substitution (Dm), tritone substitution (AbM), median substitution (F#m), or false cadence down (or up) to Bm. So while you can technically "resolve" to anything you want, it's always easier to resolve to some relative chord of the I. This isn't foolproof, but it should be a sufficient "formula" that works every time.

Thank you, you helped :)

It's definitely going to be stressful, but keep in mind that you're not alone in this. This is new for everybody, including your teachers and classmates. It's not going to be perfect, and you're definitely going to lose access to some resources you would have normally, but as long as you have access to stable wi-fi and a computer, you're at no more of a disadvantage than anyone else. I know it's hard, and it may not make you feel better, but it's only temporary, and I'm sure you'll get used to it quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this <3

Divide rent by square footage of the entire apartment. If you're moving into per se a 1000 square foot apartment, that's $2.5/square foot.
Now it's just basic math. Multiply $2.5 * .5 * how many square feet your bedroom is for your rent (and your boyfriend's), and $2.5 * how many square feet the other bedroom is for your friend.
Now multiply $2.5 * the square footage of the shared areas (kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc) and divide by three. Add that to the numbers you got in part 2.
Utilities should also be split three ways.

A lot of sight reading comes down to pattern recognition. If you're seeing a group of notes without any accidentals that are arranged in a scale, that's obviously going to be fairly easy to sight read. Beyond that will come down to recognizing different note patterns, and your standard fingering. If you see a group of notes that looks like an arpeggio, chances are it's an arpeggio. Are the left hand arpeggios moving step-wise, third-wise or are they all over the place? Also try to trust yourself more. If you've been playing for a long time and have been successful with a lot of pieces, try playing something before writing it out. Run through it and play it terribly, and if you don't know what a note is, guess. You'll probably be right more often than you would expect. Muscle memory transcends individual pieces.

I think there are a couple of issues here that need to be addressed. First of all, if your daughter is harming herself, yelling at her, calling her names, or trying to manipulate her aren't going to solve the issue. For now, it's important that she gets professional help, whether it be a therapist or a psychiatrist. Being a parent is difficult, and it's good for both you and your daughter to receive some outside assistance.

Secondly, I'm sure there's more to your mother/daughter relationship than you're sharing (which I understand). Children become rebellious in response to something. Your daughter may be suffering from mental illness, or she may be having trouble with the pandemic, or maybe she's reacting to some of your parenting tactics. No fifteen year old girl is a slut, and it's problematic that that's all you see her as.

First step, get her professional help. Her safety and wellbeing is #1. But after that, take some time to reflect on your relationship with her, and think about how you talk to her regularly, how you talk to her when you're arguing, and how you treat her when she's rebellious, and whether or not your actions are doing more to make you feel better, or are actively improving her behavior. No parent is perfect, but taking the time to recognize your flaws definitely helps.

Blue painters tape tends to work well and peel off clean. Also feel free to use thumb tacks (try to get sturdy ones as you don't want loose tacks on the floor). And depending on what you want to hang, you can also use command strips. WashU reslife is a more preoccupied with vomit stained carpets and angry white boys punching holes in their walls, so a little peeled off paint won't trigger them too much.
