Deeply aggravating that constant practice is the only way to improve at anything. I don't want the work I put in to diminish and be as good as nothing after enough time away.

I guess it's like a relationship with a human? You build a sort of relationship with whatever the skill is, better yet if it's with an object like an instrument or set of colored pencils? After lots of time away, our lives have changed and we haven't evolved the skill alongside ourselves as people, separating it from ourselves?

#the rat has spoken #rambling #I'm shit at practicing and also at making friends lmao #I also have a tendency to personify inanimate objects btw so like #I also dearly miss my friends #one in particular lol

Hi folks! If I have any teacher/tutor friends I could use some advice. All of my students (all between ages 10-12) have independently said they have had problems/get confused when like the stems/bars flip (after middle line “B” on the treble staff). For example

I’ve never encountered this problem and I never had this problem when I was learning and I don’t like telling kids to “just practice, you’ll get used to it” I’d like to find something more helpful to say to them. I’ve been saying stuff like ‘what if we try to ignore the bars and just read the dots’ but yeah. If anyone has had a similar experience I’d love to hear it

#anyone here have any advice?
