Running the accompaniment tracks for my wife's school musical. I really wish she was able to teach music without it causing untold harm to her mental health for very little money. All of these teachers deserve better, and the kids certainly do too.

#BackInTheDay when #OLevels were a #Thing; #BeforeGCSEs had been #Invented...
I was #StudyingMusic with 8-#Compatriots all of whom were about the #SameAge at a #School; the #SameSchool that #RobertSmith from #TheCure was #Expelled from... #IT was a #FaithBasedSchool that was both #Local and #Chosen by my #RomanCatholicMother; because, she was a #GrownUp...
I had had #ManyMusicTeachers before; because I was #QuiteFond of #Music and #BroadlyCompetent with #SeveralInstruments...
#TheSchool had a #Change of #MusicTeacher during #MyTime with them; #So, the #MusicTeacher that I made #Cry was #New and his #Appointment came just as I and my 8-#Compatriots were #Preparing to take an #Examination...
#IF you're #NotSure what an #Examination is; then, #LookITUp... #IT's like a #Test...

A new student to whom I have only taught one cello lesson prior to today said to me on his way out the door, βYou remind me of one of those guys who has only been doing one thing his entire life.β
Nailed it.
Wrapping up a very good day. Took my choir classes to festival today and they sang great! Then managed to get in a ebike ride on the Santa Ana River trail. #music #musicteacher #choir #BikeTooter

You know youβre teaching a homeschooler when a muscle-y, martial-arts-black-belt-wearing teen exclaims βGood heavens!β during their violin lesson, instead of βBet!,β βBruh!β or βPreppy!β
Recommended by a friend, this piano teacher and expert on Greek and Near Eastern music, Nikos Ordoulidis.
"I teach what is usually called "eastern piano", or "oriental piano". That is, techniques and repertoires coming from Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East and North Africa. I have lived, studied and worked as a musician and musicologist in the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and Bulgaria."

Things the children have not known the existence of this week:
-Lord of the Rings
-Dark Souls
-Lady Gaga
Things the children have almost UNANIMOUSLY RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY:
-He Man
Make it make sense.

Developing a bond with your high school students means listening to their absolutely ludicrous #VideoGame takes. Suffice it to say I'm glad I don't share lobbies with them.
Iβm completely frustrated by my inability to find someone to employ. Seriously, thereβs got to be SOMEBODY willing to come to Blacktown to teach voice and piano at my music school. Surely?

Given that I've just moved servers from @Tech.lgbt to @Lgbtqia.space, it's time for me to give you another Introduction!
I'm Nikki, an #ExPat Brit (who is half Canadian and now a U.S. Citizen) living just west of #PDX, Portland, OR.
As a #trans and #queer person growing up in the 1980s and 90s, Music became a much-needed escape from the real world, and I ended up attending #GSMD in London and becoming a professional #Oboist and #MusicTeacher.
In 2010 I changed career. I'm the owner and co-presenter of @show, where we try to help the world become cleaner, greener, safer, smarter and more equitable through greener transportation and clean energy. (@Aminorjourney@mastodon.transportevolved.com is my work account).
(See https://youtu.be/FBtJaqu1UE4 for that origin story)
I'm a total #Nerd, and I enjoy #cycling, RetroComputing, #OpenSource and much more. I'm married to the amazing @amerikate, and I love to #Garden. I have #Chickens, #Dogs, want #Goats, and I'm sometimes found at your local #Comicon or #Furcon dressed as @QueenieDeerhart, @ChimichangaFox, and others!
This fantastic event put on by @fflatbooks is PAY WHAT YOY WISH. All proceeds go to presenters. Check out my session on how to teach guitar in an authentic way to promote lifelong learning.

Me: "Okay, you only have two weeks left until your recital. Let's hear Bells of Great Britain."
Seven-year-old student: "It's too easy. I want to play the song my brother taught me."
Me: "What's that?"
Student: *plays the Seven Nation Army riff*
Hey everyone (who sees this posts) π
I thought I would make a small #introduction
I am Victor and I am a #musician, #composer and #musicteacher. I only recently started producing my own music, but I studied #trumpet some time ago.
What I try to create:
#ttrpg music
#epicmusic
#metal
#folksongs
So this is my most recent work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=clFcTO1y440
This is what I am most proud of https://youtu.be/W0TdgVhlRxw
And this is playing in an escape room from friends https://youtu.be/q6ywxYENaYk
