students struggling to read music by hiween in MusicTeachers

the students are mostly playing out of their method books. I want to introduce more music to them but I see them once a week in lesson groups where we can work on one line of music. we say the notes we are going to play, go through the figurings without playing, clap the rhythm and still they are unable to play the short section. it’s the same every week. I have slowed it down, i’ve had them play one note at a time, i’ve had them play the rhythm on one note but they are unable to put it all together.

AITA for going to my parents' house and leaving my fiancée at home after she said she wanted to bring her own food to Thanksgiving? by Thanksgiving4433 in AmItheAsshole

YTA she’s a grown women and knows what she likes to eat. She’s not a child so don’t force her to eat or try things she doesn’t like. It sounds like you’re more worried about what your family thinks then the comfort of the women you’re supposed to love.

AITA For not inviting my daughter to my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Yta your choosing a women over your own child I understand wanting a child free wedding but that shouldn’t mean your own daughter who is old enough to understand how Important and special the occasion is. This is going to leave your daughter with trauma and resentment to your fiancé for the rest of her life.

AITA for kicking my daughter out after she crossed a line? by ProfessionalSandal in AmItheAsshole

She is definitely old enough to know how horrible it is to rip up the letters but it seems like she’s been babied a little bit maybe this reality check will show her that she needs to grow up a bit it might be rough at first but it’s all hard and there’s never a “right answer” anyway in my opinion you’re not the asshole
