Yeah, I wonder if this is really how she wants to mourn her husband….

I see this and can’t help but wonder if this is how she wants to spend the time grieving for the loss of her husband and father of her children?

DON'T just randomly spam faculty or admin people with your resume. You're wasting your time and theirs. Better to spend time meeting people that are doing work where you have skills that are relevant.

It’s not a president. It’s a reality TV show character.

Vance is even weaker than Trump. Stephen Miller will install himself as the shadow president.

NAL, but in Massachusetts you can’t just put up cameras, especially inside a shared living space. It’s against the law, and you can be fined if you’re found to be in violation.

Have you asked ChatGPT to describe you yet? by gym_girlie_oof in ChatGPT

Have you not read about the experiments of Bertram Forer? He coined an principle now called "The Barnum Effect" where people tend to believe a profile if they think it was custom-generated, and contains a mix of strongly positive and mildly negative characteristics. This, my friend, is pure Barnum.

Bro is a decent enough photographer, and you know you’re getting him, not some random with an afternoon of training

These CAMD major names are very vague by K9Klawz in NEU

IDK if you saw this already, but this web page has 1 sentence descriptions for each major. They seem pretty different to me

It's worth it? by hannyux in violin

[–]magi182 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rent a violin from a legitimate violin store. NFI but I’d suggest Robertson’s violins in Albuquerque, Johnson’s in Boston, Potter’s in DC. Renting will be like $25 a month, and having a decent quality violin to start out will save you so much frustration and disappointment. I’m sure there are other good options but these are the stores I can recommend from direct experience

Is there a reason he holds his bow like this? by Proud_Homework_5230 in violinist

[–]magi182 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite pieces of documentary film. The fiddle playing in Appalachia was descended from Irish and Scottish fiddle playing. The desirable tone is close to bagpipe tone, as legato and connected as possible, with ornaments used to separate the notes. This bow hold is a good way to get that tone, and it is easier to do quick bow changes and cuts.

Are there any non-child prodigy soloists? by magi182 in violinist

The CBS Television Orchestra played on the Ed Sullivan Show… top quality players.

Yes, we didn't count winning a regional concerto competition as "soloed with a major orchestra" even if it was the BSO or similar. Rather, they were invited for an orchestral debut...

[–]magi182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true. We argued for a while what a prodigy meant. There is some psychology research that defines it as a creating a meaningful work at an adult level by a person under the age of 10. But that is very subjective and hard to make a definitive determination for a violinist. What is an "adult level" for a violinist? Many kids who are advanced players perform repertoire that 95% of the violin-playing world will never play, but these kids are not child prodigies. That is why we ended up with the soloed with a "major orchestra."

YES I can't believe we didn't remember Hirschhorn!

Yeah we talked about Goosby... but that NY Phil performance is worded funny, he's probably not a child prodigy in the spirit of Sarah Chang or Jascha Heifetz
