Was At Christmas Dinner And My Aunt Is Talking About Some French Celebrity I Don't Know About Because

I'm learning Japanese on duolingo, and they really did just put the word for ears in the lesson after cat like

I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE YOU MISERABLE PIECE OF SHIT

It's kinda been a brute force process for me. I still don't get every rhythm or pitch right, and I've been playing the piano for at least 14 years (unless you count what I did at 2 years old with no lessons as "playing piano", in which case 16). I also play guitar, but the process is similar.

As you do more playing, you'll find your brain automatically places notes correctly (I no longer have to think almost at all about notes within one ledger line of the main stave for either clef) which will help with playing rhythm, which should also be getting better with playing. You can also train rhythm specifically with exercises. This can be as simple as ignoring the pitch of a note and just playing/clapping rhythms, or you can use exercises you find online.

I did grades, and the progression of these can be very helpful. Not only does the gradual increase in the difficulty of pieces give a nice guided progression, but the exam board I use now, Trinity, has exercises at the back of each book, of which you must learn some (i think one from each category), and one category is rhythm. For my grade six, for example, one of them was all about 3:2 (three against two) polyrhythms, look them up to figure them out, or you can ask and I'll try to explain.

Overall, keep trying to have fun. Play things you enjoy, play things you think are weird or might be a good challenge, improvise, whatever. Just play stuff, it'll get easier.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU READ MUSIC NOTES??? HOW????

ironic right wing shit will erode your mind without fail. I don't touch that shit

Yet again relating to a post so hard I have to re-evalute my whole ass gender.

> ok with hindsight this enby thing should've been fucking obvious

hey can you elaborate cause im also not sure what I am and it's been creeping into my mind occasionally lately (cause of awesome trans friends)

and you're cool so I also just wanna know

well firstly its the fact that the pronoun they feels good for me. i like being called they. also its that i like the idea of being androgynous, like my ideal body would be one where you couldn't tell whether i was a boy or girl. really for me it was what felt right. being a boy feels right, not being a boy also feels right

Solving a debate my mother and sister have been having recently

Yes there is a second underneath; she likes her cushioning.

it’s like he knows I’m going to take his balls today

So I'm in France, celebrating my nan's birthday, and I decide "hey, maybe I should check the news. Maybe that would be a good idea". And the UK is on 300,000 cases a day. What the fuck. If I get stuck here I swear to whatever god is still listening I will lose my shit.

Doomed by Bring Me The Horizon. Just a very nice melody.
