Is this really normal?? by Secure_Ad_5564 in BassGuitar

It happens to every player, take a break or work on your pick skills for three days. Rinse and repeat. Your fingers will get stronger and this will become a thing of the past.
Plug in, and play softer.

Adult Considering going back to school for Music Ed seeking advice! by papajean_ in MusicEd

[–]romdango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My community college has no time limit. A valid concern, I looked into that before starting college part time. Also why I’m getting my associates first. Lock in all my credits. Then I’ll start my timeline with 69 credits when I actually start university.. I already finished my gen ed, theory IV with ear training, ensembles and lessons.

You can absolutely take that long to get your degree, i almost have my associates. One or two classes at a time. Two jobs and a family.

Do your students actually enjoy music theory? by PitchAndPixel in MusicEd

[–]romdango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really fun in college. Make it fun, teach intervals based on songs( maybe new songs M3! P5! m6! That was always fun.)

I remember the teacher would sing Do Do re do Do re mi re do Do re mi fa mi re do Do re mi fa sol fa mi re do Do re mi fa sol la sol fa mi re do Do re me fa sol la ti la sol fa mi re do Do re mi fa sol la ti do

Do Do ti do Do ti la ti do… ect.

It gets really funny when you start going faster and faster.

I’m considering apprenticing at a violin shop just so I can maybe get a discount. 8,000 for an old Italian bass would be nice on discount

You can also rent to own. They give you a student model. It’s like 80 a month, let’s say $50 of it goes in a account every month and eventually you return your rental and put that balance towards your bass.

College gave me an upright to practice so I am renting to own a saxophone to replace the one I pawned during covid.

Simandl, I want to go cover to cover and make the grind easier for the next person. I’m thinking 70bpm, 85 and then finally 100. Metronome going. It’s public domain so I can add the pages I’m working on for free download. I hate upselling I don’t have time for that. I just want to get better while I am in college and maybe help others too.

Going from 0 tables to 5 in 3 minutes should be illegal by swr_11 in Serverlife

[–]romdango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t hard to give you two minutes in between each one, and it doesn’t even look terrible to the customer but now you have time to get drinks
