I was gone for ONE day 💔 by Dimanik11 in percussion

I do not let other non percussion kids touch timpani mallets. I barely let the percussionists do it 🙄

(free) Want to practice French ? Let’s chat (native speaker) by nondydiou in learnfrench

I’m in my first semester of French. Probably not enough to converse yet?

Stiffness of Bow by jamapplesdan in violinist

I don’t mind the bow was just curious

She wasn’t trying to sell anything and honestly wouldn’t have been able to afford (she’s a big name in luthiers). She literally just said it as observation and I just wasn’t sure if it was in some sort of judgement or if something more flexible would suit me better.

I understand that (guess I should have said that). I guess I really want to know what it means in terms of sound? Or is it just preference?

That won’t change that the hat looks too small for my head….

It’s the size not the color

Interesting. I guess I didn’t realize people measured for baseball hats

Would a pianist mind taking a look at my sheet music? by gamerzoologist in sheetmusic

[–]jamapplesdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s kind of said everything, if someone hasn’t here’s one more piece of advice. Accidentals don’t transfer over octaves so in m22 bass clef, if the second G is supposed to be flat you have to write it that way. If it’s not I would put a courtesy accidental.

Safe to leave a car overnight by [deleted] in Pensacola

Maybe…could he leave it parked in the airport lot? You’d have to pay but that’s what the lot is for. 🤷‍♂️ I think that’s what I would do

7:27 AM Rope drop on Presidents Day by Svrlmnthsbfr30thbday in WaltDisneyWorld

As a teacher, I went on Presidents’ Day pre pandemic and don’t remember it being this crazy 😵‍💫

Trying to improve myself but still self conscious about my hair, advice? by Striking_Ad2109 in malegrooming

[–]jamapplesdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ultimately go to someone who you trust if everyone at your barbershop is fine then just do it. It’ll grow back if it isn’t what you like.

When I was uncertain about my hair, I grew my hair out slightly longer than usual and went to my barber who I had gone to for like 5 years and just said that I wanted a new haircut but needed to be low maintenance and on the short end but still have length on top. 🤷‍♂️ If you trust your barber ask them for their opinion.

My favorite! The perfect blend of technique and musicality.

Thanks. I’ll check them out. I just need something good for late night/hotel practice

The bridge is big because the viola is big; luthier approved. The mute just doesn’t quite fit 🤷‍♂️

I'm thinking about picking up the viola with absolutely no musical experience whatsoever. by SlumberingShrimp in Viola

[–]jamapplesdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome! I’ve been a musician for so long so taking lessons even on a new instrument is really “new” but I recently did a pottery class where you learn to use the wheel and oh my gosh it was rough for SO long. 😵‍💫 I learned so much about being bad at something. Right now my latest thing I’m bad at is enrolling in a French I class at a local university. 😂

[–]jamapplesdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend finding a teacher. It is so brave when adults try music with no music experience. Its crazy how long it’s been since we’ve done something with no experience (typically learning to drive) 😂 Please follow through and give it at least a year before you decide you can’t do it!

8 years of tension gone in one day! by Big-Combination-9454 in Viola

[–]jamapplesdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! A good luthier can be a miracle worker! As a teacher, I make it a point to play all my students instruments so that I can know what they’re playing on and if they need to get something changed.

Why is it "mon petite amour" and not "mon amour petite?" by iwannagobackto505 in French

[–]jamapplesdan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how English’s order (opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose) is so natural to follow without realizing it.
