You can barely tell, but his eyes ARE opening for a second or two here and there lol.
Then he caught me filming him and we had a laugh about it together lol.
There are two easy ways to to it:
1: To see which Council District you're in, enter your address in this map https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/6783884196f54241abf417e48ac3f133/
Then click on the right side menu where it says "City Council District". There you will see listed your councilor, their contact info, and when their term expires.
2: Use this map to find which district you are in: https://www.provo.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2894/Council-Districts-with-Neighborhoods-PDF
Then go to this website to see which councilor correspond with your district. Click on "more information" under their name to see their contact information.
I highly encourage everyone to write a very strongly worded email or call them directly about removing these cameras. It seems none of the council members want to take any stance on them. We need them out of here.
They say there are guardrails but nothing will allow me to trust them. They are already being abused across the country:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU1-uiUlHTo&t=12s&pp=ygUSZmxvY2sgY2FtZXJhIGFidXNl
We have to stand together on this to force them to remove them or nothing will happen. Keep putting up signs notifying the public of their existence. Most people don't realize they are there.
I will not vote for any city councilor who supports or is neutral about these cameras, or any mass surveillance.
Has anyone used this rhythm book before? https://www.halleonard.com/product/645171/rhythm-workbook
What is it like? Does it teach counting by measure (1 2 3 4 regardless of note type) or counting by note type (1 1 1 1 for quarter notes)
Does it teach 8th notes?
I'm looking for a possible replacement for my favorite rhythm workbook https://kjos.com/bastien-theory-boosters-rhythm-2-4-3-4-4-4.html
The reason I'm looking for a new one is that it's getting increasingly difficult to order this one in particular on amazon (showing $75 for one book right now!!!) and if I order it from the publisher it will cost more in shipping than the price of one book ($15!!?? crazy).
I am specifically looking for a workbook that is easy enough for a primer level student, and that teaches counting up to 4 (or whatever the time signature says) in each measure, not counting by note value.
I've already looked at Music for Little Mozarts and they count by note value. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!!
Do you use the music tracks or teacher accompaniment parts that come in your method books?
Why or why not? If so, from which books?
I'm curious about this because in my area I'm the only teacher I've seen using the audio resources provided, or who plays the teacher accompaniments regularly.
I'd love to hear other teacher's thoughts on this.
Hey, I'm trying something new with students! Has anyone here ever played any of the Rhythm Heaven games?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a trailer for it: https://youtu.be/ZdMwqKiSeEE
I've been having some students play a bit of it during lessons to help them develop their internal pulse. They've really loved it! I am going to have to see how it goes over time, and ideally it would be great if they could spend more time at home playing it, but it's such a well-made game that it's just plain fun.
While it doesn't teach them about the specifics of rhythm it does lay the groundwork for understanding and feeling more rhythms in the future.
I recommend any teachers who already have a switch to download the free demo and give it a try! I'd love to hear other teachers' thoughts about this if they've tried the demo.
PS this is not going to replace any of the regular rhythm reading and piano learning that I normally do. Just going to supplement and help those who don't naturally have their own internal pulse yet. I usually use Piano Adventures (all books) or Bastien New Traditions. I had the idea to try this game when I remembered how the Piano Adventures books sometimes have some exercises where the student imitates the teacher's rhythm for some activities. This is kind of like that!
I have a dear student I've been teaching for 6 years. She's in her early 70s now and just becoming more and more frustrated with piano. I do my best to stay positive for her each week, but it's hard on me too to see her progress stagnate, or even regress.
I have been going very very slow with her, simplifying pieces, not being strict with tempo. Super gentle pieces and books.
I've run out of books and pieces I can give her that she enjoys, and that she can play.
I think it's not healthy for her to have this constant pressure and frustration each week, but I don't want her to feel like a failure. It's just time for her to "graduate" from this.
I've never done this before, how should I approach this with her? It breaks my heart, but it's better for her. I just don't know how to say it to her.
Has anyone tried this yet? Does it get rid of the tv lag?
I felt like when I was using detached joycons, even though I calibrated several times, I was not as accurate as I should've been.
And my tv is already in game mode
I feel very confident in my ability to follow the calibration instructions accurately, I'm a professional music teacher, so I don't think that's it..... 😔
Then when I changed to handheld it was SO much easier to get the rhythms.
I like playing on the couch, especially with co-op games, but I can't seem to hit that sweet spot for calibration.
If anyone has tried this and has it feel as good as handheld, then I'm going to immediately order fome 15 or 20ft USB cables for my pro controllers for when the full game comes out.
I'm playing on switch 2 if it matters.
Sweetest little girl wrote me this note. Melted my heart!
