Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I bought my wife an Apple Watch SE as a gift last year. She loves it. 020
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I just discovered that there is no stank face in my bank of emojis. I feel like if I had invented emojis, stank face would have been the third one I created 000
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Got my copy! I called around to a few places and found one. 000
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I saw that DC has published a comic book featuring Weird Al with Batman and Superman. Not a collector but I thought it would be fun to grab a copy and maybe one as a gift for my brother but EVERY FREAKIN PLACE IS SOLD OUT! Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. 100

Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I’m starting the year with the Hermann Psycho Prelude with my high school orchestra this year. It doesn’t include the shower scene music but I’m going to figure out a way to teach that also. 110
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I've been using Finale since v. 1.0. Doing what I want in Dorico is a process of looking up every single tiny little thing - taking forever. Need to take a step back and go through some of the basic tutorials. 000
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Or would to just opt to just cut the solo section... 000
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Questions for string teachers: If you want to perform "alternative styles" music with your ensemble, do you expect the composer to provide written-out solos, or do you simply want an open solo section for students to improvise over? Option for either/both? #alternativestyles #stringorchestra 100
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Or the option to skip the solo section entirely... 000
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Or if you are a teacher, whenever school is not in session. 010
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Um no. Also I installed ours a couple of years ago and just checked, the bolts are all present and accounted for. 010
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I use siteground, which my web designer wife recommends and also uses for her own website. Don’t know how much, she just lets me park on her server, but it is reliable and tech support is good. 010
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Have you read Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman? Not really aimed at teachers per se but it changed everything about how I structure my teaching and learning. 030
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Working on building it in to the culture at the high school level. Playing the long game. 110
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I’m not a doctoral candidate but I have been incorporating more and more aural learning into my teaching over the years (string orchestra). To me it seems the older they are the more they resist - but incredibly valuable at all levels. 120
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I received $6.65 from the Facebook User Privacy settlement. 🎉 000
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Over the past several years I have been working on developing improvisation skills with my string students. One of my first pieces written as a vehicle for improv - Slipknot - is out now. Written solos are included if you would rather not have to teach improv. www.jwpepper.com/slipknot-116...jwpepper.comSlipknot | J.W. PepperSlipknot lives in the part of the Venn diagram where fiddle music intersects with the rhythms and grooves of classic funk. Students will engage with 16th note rhythm patterns and pre-shifting skills (... 110
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Now that I think of it, I’ve heard a few top tier pianists give emphasis to a rest with a grunt, foot stomp, or sudden release of a sustain pedal. 130
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Get a tenor banjo you can just start playing - tuned CGDA up an octave from the cello. 020
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 09/05/2026PSA: drummers, if you know you’ll be playing with an upright bass, leave your floor tom at home. 010
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Im the wrong person to ask, but if pressed I would simply say proceed with caution. Instagram wants to own you. 010
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Now I have to go watch it - I own the DVD that I got with three proofs-of-purchase from Cheerios boxes back in the day. 210
Timothy J. Isham @timisham.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Very likely they can do the former if you can put up with the latter. 010
