obv the learning goals of my kahoot of pitch identification is to induce fear and terror into the students’ innermost psyches (and to create a false sense of superiority to the top 3 winners)

voicing sucks big time? nothing else matters until I get this stupid melody under my fingers or else

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Chancleta has been endorsed by a family of three random raccoons who saw him from outside. One of them even stood on our patio chair on two legs, like a person. This is incredible news for Sandal's campaign to represent whatever it is he is running for.

A mock political endorsement graphic on a blue gradient background. At the top left is a photo of three raccoons beside the words “A FAMILY OF THREE RANDOM RACCOONS.” Below, red text reads “PROUDLY ENDORSES,” followed by “CHANCLETA” in large white letters. At the bottom right is a large photo of Chancleta, an orange-and-white cat looking directly at the camera.

random question for church pianists: is there any anthology that provides preludes/postludes-suitable pieces based on the liturgical year? i struggle w advanced planning but not sight-reading, so my music director has asked if there's any anthology that can solve this issue.

just imagine: a 5'2" person with a wrapped ankle, screaming "you got this michelle" as well as "you dumbshit michelle" as she takadimi'ed the shit of ravel's la valse.

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 20h

after days of hearing someone practicing la valse, i actually thought about reviving the piece. all my homies know my rhythm is abysmal. it's sooo nice to practice evil polyrhythm in peace. (expletive-laden, bc it's french)

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 20h

arrived to campus at 8 am--my spouse dropped me off--and now im starting to understand people who practice in the am before their work day starts. (the absolute peace & quiet is v nice. one can practice new pieces very vulnerably w/o a student hearing their profanity-laden early learning stage.)

what about works with voice, piano, and other instruments? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol who knows (imo, they're chamber)

110

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

i also think in piano collab programs, afaik, they separate voice & instr as separate tracks. (collab pianists specializing in voice usually have to take diction too, as many of them may become coaches for more beginner vocalists)

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

hmmmmmmm i think this topic is contestable but if i refer to maurice hinson & wesley roberts' the piano in chamber ensemble, they: - include duos (piano + something else) as chamber - exclude art songs from the book

made a little syllabus adjustment bc we had <50% attendance this morning hahahahaha.

As we all know, the 8 am class time is ~a challenge~.
New: I'm going to make a little amendment to my syllabus policy--your tardiness will be forgiven if you arrive by 8:15.
So, if you wake up late then realize, "oh well, I'm not gonna make it to class at 8:05 anyway, I might as well skip," now you can rest assured that I'll mark you as present as long as you show up by 8:15.

in smaller font: (I totes get it ok. It's a struggle for me too. I had an undergrad friend who graduated in 6 years because he kept missing 8:30 aural skills classes.
If you feel guilty, we can even hold an utterly heretical sacrament of reconciliation to formally absolve your sin. Penance would be playing scales three times.)

maybe I’ll make an anonymous poll on my door (stick a sticker!) for team edward vs jacob it’s called being collegial

look I grew up catholic with the confirmation and complete k-12 education, so nothing prepared me to this concept of full immersion.

TIL sutures have 16 hours window (???) which makes sense but also why wasn’t this covered in first aid training (I guess bc they want us to call 911 lol)

Ok, the good news is it’s not deep enough to require stitches, the bad news is it was kinda infected and I also sprain it. When they told me, I was like oh that’s why the pain level is unbearably high!

yeah…im very prone to accident and this time the wound looks deeper than the usual scratches I got. (and the blood clotting process was severely delayed…? it was weird.)

she’s very broken today bc she got combo flu and Covid shots so it’s just two useless azn gals groaning in the apt 😂😂😂

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I think the wound is deeper than usual and then awk located at the top of the foot/ankle area. So putting weight = pain. Luckily our insurance’s co-pay for urgent care is 50 bucks, instead of some outrageous numbers

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I need to know the text! I need to hear the recording!! I need to see the scores!!!

michelle sulaiman 🚲🚴‍♀️🚲 @chromeowtic.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

so I eventually came clean and she’s upset bc I didn’t tell her right away. anyhoo, I may go to urgent care today bc ugh the ankle looks bad plus it hurts too much. every time I use the page turning pedal, I wince ;-;

ok unrelated but our local opera just did Macbeth and a chorus member—bless her heart—proudly proclaimed “I don’t believe in superstitions!!!” and proceeded to say Macbeth three times in the theater. THEN SHE FELL FACE THE FREAK DOWN.

in today's lesson, i taught the forbidden la-based minor (and also the cursed do-based minor) to a child of music theorist & musicologist while the MT parent sat in the studio. the good question that came up today: "why do we even have 3 names for minor scales? why not minor scales w/ raised 7?"
