I'm the oldest of 3 and my husband is the oldest of 7.

Does your university have a music library? maybe they have the scores available?

Do you mean like

Far Cows Get Drowsy After Eating Breakfast

Breakfast Eating After Drowsy Gets Cows Fat

for the order of sharps ("fat cows...") and flats ("breakfast eating...")? I bet there are loads of cool ones around. Those are the ones I learned in orchestra at least!

DynamicOctopus420

Have your singers breathe somewhere else (not all at the same somewhere else).

I learned this one with its rhyme in choir. I heard it more utilitarian in orchestra.

DynamicOctopus420

If you know moveable-do solfege:

When flats there are, the last is fa

When sharps there be, the last is ti

Musescore is free, you could type it in and then have it play back the audio

Learning by ear you get a feel for it, but learning grammar is like learning other rules and can be really hard for some people.

I remember that we diagrammed sentences in school but I didn't really retain any of it. Once I took Spanish and was taught the language by a teacher, then I had a real context for things like direct objects and gerunds and stuff.

Being bilingual is cool as heck.

DynamicOctopus420

You might understand the grammar better than a native speaker, at least if you learned in school.

Night on Bald Mountain (the music itself sounds spooky)

Ravel "Jeux d'eau" since it has lots of fancy tuplets

Toccata and fugue in d minor (Daddy Bach, if it's organ music it'll have the third staff for the foot pedals and that might be scary, IDK haha)

Baba yaga (from Pictures at an Exhibition, by Mussorgsky)

Paganini violin caprices

Kreisler's cadenza for the Beethoven violin concerto

Stravinsky Rite of Spring since the debut was violent haha

All of these have results on Musescore!

edited to add that if neumes are scary and you wanted something spooky-sounding you could print off Dies irae since that theme is a ginormous cultural touchstone as well.

Well it depends on the function the chord has, because the whole point of saying (for example) that you have a first-inversion C major triad or a second-inversion G7 chord is to communicate not only the pitches but their harmonic function.

CEGF doesn't stack in thirds no matter how you arrange the notes, so the "answer" isn't as clear, but based on the pitches themselves I would have two main guesses:

C major add 6

F major 7 add 9

E minor flat 6 flat 9 would be possible as well, just a little spicier.

You can write out which notes you are using on staff paper of course, but a chord symbol isn't going to give the position of the notes other than the bass.

I haven't heard this way of thinking of them before and am intrigued. I can look it up if you or someone else doesn't want to talk about it but I wanted to ask for more details on this bc it sounds interesting

DynamicOctopus420

yes! FUCK YOU ALL! I love the energy.

I'm part way though book 8 and I identify with Princess Donut. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE is the cancer treatment mantra.

It means you're not monolingual. That's really cool by itself.

(I'm in the US and am using US terms)

The rightmost one is ribbing which you can achieve in crochet with post stitches.

For example, you can put front post for the part you want to stick up on the right side, and back post everywhere else.

FP and BP are techniques, or modifiers to existing stitches rather than actual stitches themselves so you can pick whatever your preferred stitch is and then just make it front or back post.

It might be easier to do one round of something like sc for the border and then start ribbing, but then there would be a tiny stripe of not-ribbing between the squares and the rest of the border. But that might not be an issue!

If you didn't want that look, you could get around it by doing a round of sc (just since it's thin and it's also not hell to stitch into unlike slip stitch) in a color that isn't your border color, and then do your entire border with front and back post stitches.

Ant fight is what we called it

I'm not sure if there's really any true "supposed to" that really pans out in English, lol, but at least in conversation I think the plural is more common in my experience.

Singular wouldn't (to me) sound really weird or anything, though based on vibes I feel like the wind here is generally pretty chaotic-feeling so that might be why plural feels more common? like maybe one minute it's blowing in your face and then next it's blowing your hair into your face from behind. Not just a steady direction of blowing.

As someone living on the Pacific Northwest coast of the US, we get a lot of wind of varying strengths. I would say "high wind warning" is what you might see from an agency, or on the news, but "strong" is the word I would use in conversation to describe a big wind.

Not to say I wouldn't say "high winds" in conversation but I think "strong winds" is more likely something I'd say.

DynamicOctopus420

Same and same, though I'm sure I don't always do it

chode is a slang term for a penis (usually if I use it it's as an insult toward someone who is acting like a dick) and I feel like if you were ranking people based on how dickish they're being I feel like chodometer would be an acceptable spelling

Fwiw when I was on Adriamycin (doxorubicin) my scalp was sore before my hair fell out. I buzzed my hair and that alleviated the discomfort mostly, and I could lose my hair more peacefully.

The perfect intervals are also the first ones in the harmonic series, which is interesting!

For secondary school (6-12) you might major in your subject, and take education classes as well. My bachelor's degree was vocal music education. It was not officially a double major but to finish in four years it pretty much was XD I can't speak to other subjects' licensure paths but yeah. Needed a BA or BS (or Bachelor of Music if you're extra music mode) slash equivalent experience in the subject area you wanted to teach, and then pass licensure tests, practicum, background check, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting.

I got my teaching license itself from a full-year Masters program.
