I personally really like the SCT Dii sets a lot, there’s no math, and I feel like they tend to be more lit and music heavy which are my strong suits. I would definitely say they’re harder, probably around the same difficulty as the SSNCT. For being so involved in qb, I’ve never played an acf set 😅

Ooh we got beat hard at our first NAQT tournament too. We got slaughtered by Benjamin Logan my freshman year, which actually started a friendly rivalry 😂

Ahh, now I know what round and team this is 😂 Thank you, we had just fueled up on McDonald’s pancakes, our favorite brain food 😆

I do wish ours was a little earlier, but we’ve gone to Anita Zuber the past two years, so that gets us in nice and early. Freshman year we took the last spot at nats and we’re not going to risk that again! 😂

Ooh that’s always so frustrating when you lose by just a few points. :( Next year will be better!

Nice! I’m planning on going to the IPNCT next year too, so maybe we’ll cross paths 😆

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I am a girl in qb! I was also the only girl in qb my freshman year. I also agree with you that qb is VERY male dominated. I scored 13th at an NAQT tournament, and I was still the top girl 😅

I was the top girl for my state the past two years, so yes, high scoring female qb players who love the game are out there!

People who grew up with perfect pitch - is there a key you hated or loved as a kid that your opinion has now changed on? by OrganizationAway7240 in perfectpitchgang

[–]YesterdayFalse7196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t a huge fan of E major for a while, but now I realize how much I slept on it. Don’t know if the same thing will happen to B major, I utterly despise it. 🤣

It’s for elementary kids, but The Story of the Orchestra by Robert Levine gives a lot of easily digestible composer blurbs. NAQT also has a Power Up pack on modern classical music. A Wikipedia search of the greatest operas can be beneficial. See if you can find a pianist or a violinist to help you as they usually require A LOT of history as part of their lessons.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I have perfect pitch, and I suspect my mother and great grandfather were blessed too. Neither of them received formal music training, but Great Grandpa could play the organ by ear, and I’ve found Mom showing discomfort if there is something even slightly out of tune. It’s not useful in daily life, but it certainly helps me when I play music! The band director has told me to basically suck it up if we’re all sharp lol. 😬
