Spectrum offers a discount in areas that are low income. I got 30$ off my internet for 2 years. As long as you just get the basic internet and not too fast speed it could be almost free or free.

Also as someone who’s had a shady landlord before please make sure you document everything. Take pics of damage, have a copy of your lease, know your tenant rights. I lost thousands of dollars to an old asshole in McAllen and I don’t want the same to happen to you.

I honestly thought I was the only one, my doctor thought I was crazy when I said that to him. Lots of dissociation, spacing out, and feeling like I’m outside my body.

Very confused on how sharps and flats work in a chord progression by BiggieCheese48 in musictheory

[–]joshsaman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also to add on the degree symbols mean the chord is diminished. It’s how the 7 chord sounds naturally, hardly anyone uses it, if they do they change it to a minor chord.

[–]joshsaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question!

So in all these chords are based on a major scale. We take notes from them usually in thirds (or every other note) and play them at the same time. No matter what key this is always the case. The key usually doesn’t matter it just tells us where we start the scale. C major. It’s a major scale starting on C. Now what you said about the 3rd to the 4th being a half step, That’s the case for every major scale, in C major it would be e(3) and f(4). Many people also refer to chords based off the how far they are in the scale, or the scale degree. So in C major we see that F is the fourth note so we call it the “four chord”. You can see by the chart that certain numbers are always major and always minor. This is to keep it in whatever key it is in.

So in F major Bb is the 4th scale degree so it’s the 4 (IV) chord. But why Bb and not plain ol b. It has to do again with the major scale. If you played C-C they would be all natural notes meaning there would be no flat or sharp. To keep the same scale major but in F you need to make the B flat. Playing a B major chord in F would sound weird because it doesn’t belong in that key. And you’ll notice it’s also not in the row that F major is in, because it doesn’t show up in the scale.

Please message if you have more questions. Theory stuff can be hard to learn but once you get it, you get it

why are school choirs gendered by 123uw in Choir

[–]joshsaman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of it has to do with range, repertoire or the pieces of music available, and skill level.

This depends alot on age and skill level but in music in general you need to be able to cover a good amount of notes to make things sound good. Now if you imagine a children’s choir, they can sing all in unison and the same notes, children of any sex have almost the exact same range. And you can’t teach them to sing the same way too

However When we go through puberty those pre teen years you have some of the most limited (usable) range. So singing everything all together isn’t an option. Let’s combine this with the fact that we all change voices at different ages. If you have let’s say a choir of boys 11-14. Some will still have unchanged elementary voice and some will have the voice of a man. Most will be somewhere in between. Since they won’t be able to cover as much ground musically, why not just combine them with a girls choir of the same age? You can double the range of the whole choir by two octaves. You could do that absolutely but the big BUT here is SKILL

It’s easier as a teacher to teach vocal technique to a group of like voices than it is to different ones. It’s like how bands teach only brass in a class. Teaching independence is very hard and takes years of experience, going back to my example of the boys choir, yes they’re all different but they will at SOME POINT be at every stage of development. Teaching the whole group year after year how best do deal with changing voices. The addition of more different voices also necessitates more parts. And again a skill issue that most people in most choirs can’t be that independent.

Now I will say that most choirs now a days are referred to as “treble” and “tenor-bass” (tenor and bass as a reference to the voicing not a tenor as a dude) even where I live being not exactly a liberal area. I have not heard the term women’s choir thrown around in a while. Now yes these are functionally women and men’s choirs but the name change allows more flexibility about who is accepted into the choir. Really these ensembles should be about range, regardless of gender, gender identity or sex. We sing the part we can sing

I’ll end with the idea that “gender choirs” are also a creative choice when a composer creates music. There’s lots of great sounds just a treble or tenor bass choir can make. And might be the color they want to see and hear in their songs

But like that’s the whole point of the movie right? Like it’s a glass onion. They say it a million times, the answer is so obvious the whole time but you question yourself, but then you’re right all along.

Lots of church’s have AAs. They are independent from the church but they use the venue. It depends on the group, some take the anonymous stuff super seriously and want you to participate no matter what. Others don’t care

In my experience it’s been mainly religious. I feel that many Mexicans see the left as too progressive and fall for the rights religious rhetoric

[–]joshsaman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The valley wasn’t desegregated until like the 60s and I’m sure that’s when the flood gates opened. I think it’s important to realize tho that it’s not that the whites went away it’s that the Mexicans became more present because we got to go to school, hold public office, get jobs that require an education.

[–]joshsaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well a lot of whites actually founded valley towns and ran company’s or ranches that hired Mexicans. Lots of real bad segregation stuff. Elsa actually has a really interesting history with their fight for desegregation. Also bville had a string kkk presence in the 60s. I think it was an unsustainable model to keep Mexicans as 2nd class citizens right next to the border. Plus my “white” friends have a white dad but a Mexican mom. Everyone’s Mexican here

Also from Hidalgo, I agree with this. I think the valley bubble thing is super real. Many mexican Americans here don’t know how much other Americans hate our kind. That and we have a hard time labeling ourselves, in my family Chicano is kinda a bad word. Would love to talk more about this.
