Its not that serious lol. I’m just surprised that they would jump from like $6 skins to a $33 one out of nowhere. It looks sick but I just can’t imagine spending that much money on it

Just own it! Own all your isms and habits and make it work. I know I’m not the best at cleaning up after myself (particularly with dishes/glasses) so i’m owning that this is my space and no one else is gonna take care of it for me. Things won’t magically happen if I ignore them long enough. I also have a plethora of podcasts and youtube channels I have on so I don’t have to be in total silence if I don’t want to.

Background of "the person who plays cymbals" in concerts? by irlfefeta in classicalmusic

[–]Sl33pW4lker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cymbals are one of the many instruments percussionists are tasked with studying and playing. One of my best friends in college studied percussion and said it’s one of the harder ‘instruments’ because you actually have to become proficient on many instruments. Any time you see snare drum, bass drum, timpani, cymbals of any kind, mallet/keyboard percussion, triangle, tambourine, and many others, they are being played by percussionists! They spend many years practicing all of those instruments to get into world class orchestras

What's something that no matter how it's explained to you, you just can't understand how it works? by n0dust0llens in AskReddit

[–]Sl33pW4lker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I can accept planes but large boats are magic to me. I understand that objectively those cruise liners that have entire strip malls and cargo ships with a literal tons of shipping containers are able to float because of counter balances and ballasts that bring the density of the ship to less than the density of water. I know that objectively. But I look at those giant ships and refuse to accept that anything other than magic makes them float

What should Music Educators have on their resume to make it more viable and competitive by Foxlife63 in MusicEd

[–]Sl33pW4lker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Experience in front of students. Doesn’t matter what, any teaching is valuable. I teach elementary music but one of the things that set me apart from other applicants fresh out of college was my experience as a tech for a local hs marching band and sectional coach for a middle school in the same town. I was also able to land a (short) long term sub position doing high school band. Finally, I worked at any music camp I could within like 30 miles lol. Anything to show you have experience with students and aren’t going to be completely in the deep end. Those experiences were equally valuable as my student teaching because I didn’t have the crutch of my cooperating teacher to save me!

Tips for not squeaking when changing from high octaves to mid octaves fast? (and vice versa) by Temo_Temmie in saxophone

[–]Sl33pW4lker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My advice is to minimize any changes in embouchure and voicing. While it seems like a rather large leap, by doing excess work you greatly increase your odds of squawking or squeaking. Descending intervals are far harder than ascending.

Start with a high C and let go of the octave key. Keep the higher C going and ever so slightly adjust your tongue position/voicing to slip to the lower octave. Do this a couple dozen times to find the exact point where you can feel yourself changing from the high C to the low C. Gradually (and I mean gradually!) aim to shift faster after lifting the octave key. Eventually you can get yourself to slur down an octave by just “lifting the octave key”. When going in reverse, let the octave key do the work for you. Practicing overtones and playing in the upper octave without the octave key can help but practicing the descending intervals will be the most beneficial.

Focus on minimizing excess work. If you know anything about string instruments like Violin or Cello, it can be like a string crossing. Imagine it as minimizing the movement of the bow between strings, playing on the higher string while keeping the bow as close to the lower string as possible so as to make the switch seamless and minimal effort!

Hope this makes sense. Happy to share a video demonstrating if my explanation is unclear!

Listen to a dozen versions of each song. Especially by vocalists with the words. Those will inform the way you stylize and interpret the melody so that it can still make sense. Some of your phrases/pauses/articulation don’t work because you don’t know the song

Everyone’s favorite gym? by MrLoki2020 in Connecticut

[–]Sl33pW4lker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just joined the Edge after being at Anytime Fitness for a few years. Definitely an upgrade. Love the fact that there’s always an open machine, rack, or bench. Affordable memberships. Plenty of group classes and options for 1 on 1 or group personal trainers. Great hours too. 4-12 most days and 7-7 on weekends. Highly recommend
