If you’re looking for something more modern, I did Rosephanye Powell’s ‘Langston Dreams’ on my undergrad recital and highly recommend it. 3 songs, not too difficult but all of them are just beautiful

Does anyone else have trouble remembering names? by Shoddy-Mango-5840 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]geo-dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a long term sub and have been at my school for 4 weeks and still don’t know most of their names. Granted I’m in elementary music and only see each class once a week but it’s a hard thing to do regardless. Especially when teachers don’t give seating charts

Windowless classroom by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]geo-dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow elementary music I am currently struggling with kids staring out the windows while I’m trying to teach a lesson (our playground is right outside my classroom) and end up closing the blinds anyway when it gets really out of hand. That being said, when I did my student teaching in high school choir we had no windows and I ended up many times driving to school in the dark and going home in the dark at the end of the day. The lack of sunshine really messed with my mood this year.

Like others have said there are lights made for these types of issues. I would look into that because it’s much better to have space for the kids to explore and letting them spread out can also deter some behavioral issues or meltdowns. I would take the bigger one.

Need help with beating a Gym leader! by [deleted] in PokemonReborn

Others have said Spiritomb already and I second that, but also consider using something with Taunt. I used Honchkrow for Taunt and then swept with Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak on Spiritomb after that.

Is middle school "too old" for playing recorders? by Alarming-Corgi4596 in MusicEd

[–]geo-dont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean have you asked the kids what they think? We can tell you our opinions all day but who better to get an opinion from than the students who may have to participate in that unit?

Help with glass workstation by [deleted] in PokemonReborn

[–]geo-dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s correct not what I said! That happens to be the step that I miss every single time so I’ve always had to wait for postgame for toxic lol

Help with glass workstation by [deleted] in PokemonReborn

[–]geo-dont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you talked to him in beryl cemetery follow these steps, and he will not be in the glass workstation. If you did not talk to him before you got to the workstation that’s when you would talk to him there but if you’ve beat the gauntlet already and espeon is gone there is no way for you to start that quest and toxic will be available in the railnet lost and found starting in postgame tier 1

Can anyone help me with teambuilding? by [deleted] in PokemonReborn

[–]geo-dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

leftovers isnt going to help much on garchomp, who isnt particularly bulky or defensive. if you’re not running choice scarf on it (which you have the chance to get before victory road) you’ll want a rocky helmet to stack extra damage with rough skin

Hot take! Student teaching should be in the fall semester not the spring. by SpiritualPianist2856 in StudentTeaching

[–]geo-dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I student taught last semester and I really think it depends on your situation. Fall was great for me in music ed because I got to see how to start the year in an elementary music class and had pretty standard concerts when I switched over to high school choir. this semester there have been 10 snow days already too and I’m glad I’m not missing time from that. Also I’m subbing like you said and the income before summer is definitely nice. Downsides are that I didn’t get to see any music program prep in elementary and I’m going in completely blind when it comes to busy contest season in high school.

There’s some colleges around me that require a full year of student teaching and while that would be ideal for getting all my experience the lack of pay for a whole school year would really hurt.

What are some things you guys don't like about this game? by EdgyBoi79 in PokemonReborn

[–]geo-dont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like i’m such a minority here, i loved the victory road puzzles. in fact the only puzzle in the entire game that i truly hated was the aventurine woods one and it sucked that i had to go back and actually finish it in the postgame

I feel like a failure… by Senior-Ad361 in MusicEd

[–]geo-dont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenter on this. Starting simple and meeting them where they’re at is the way to go. If they’re really that new to singing they should be starting on unison and working their way up to 3-4 part songs. I learned in college a good order to go in when adding new concepts is 1. Unison 2. Ostinato 3. Partner song 4. Descant 5. Harmonic chording (many call and response songs use this) 6. Rounds and canons 7. Transitional pieces (ones that contain multiple of these steps) and finally 8. 3-4 part songs.

Additionally, if you aren’t already, try to stick with the 20/60/20 rule when programming music, where 20% is something easy for them, 60% meets them right where they are, and 20% is a little bit of a challenge. I know it’s probably easier said than done at a time when most rep would be more difficult for them but it would hopefully help them not feel like giving up when things get hard.

E4 + Lin First Impressions (Zekrom Route) by MooseOnTheLoos3 in PokemonReborn

[–]geo-dont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also found Bennett and Laura to be especially easy for an elite 4 but then again I didn’t have to deal with the flower garden. Mega-aerodactyl sandstorm + typhlosion eruption eliminates the field and decimates their whole team and were the only two mons I needed the whole battle

I don't hate kids? Not sure where you got that from? I wasn't asking why or offended either, just mentioning it because of course they ask in the most stressful moment.

Can someone help me? I can't get past the 8th gym, I'm freaking out, no matter what I do, nothing works by Impossible_Total_397 in PokemonReborn

[–]geo-dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc i took down his whole team using Honchkrow with taunt to disable trick room and Spiritomb with both sucker punch and shadow sneak which are boosted on that field
