Proof I'm a real classical musician: I correctly guessed "Hoe-Down" from Copland's Rodeo from bf's description: "cattle lasso-ing music."

@moberhau At 38??? OOF.

@operarocksme @moberhau @TimPatMad I think I’ve only cut myself while cutting the flesh of the avocado, not removing the seed! Obviously keeping your hands clean and dry, and paying attention to what you’re doing are both crucial. But then most of my accidents are mandolin related. 😂

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@TimPatMad @operarocksme I will also say that using the part of the blade closest to the handle to cut into and “grab” the seed helps, because I feel like I have the most control over that area of the knife. If it helps, I have cut myself many times, but never doing this! 😂

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@TimPatMad @operarocksme I feel like there’s no good way to describe this so this shows what im talking about: https://t.co/GUvn3p3dfH

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@TimPatMad @operarocksme This! Once you have the seed on the knife, you can hold it over your trash can and use your fingers over the blunt, back edge of the knife to push the seed off into the garbage.

@megmuoio Potato bread, like the Martins rolls. Very soft and round!

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@doodlyroses Yes, this one. Love this one! Somehow it also becomes more legato, to my ears at least.

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@doodlyroses Everything being perfectly together? It’s overrated! Things being just a little off is so much more exciting.

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@piesaac Congratulations! That’s so exciting and you should be very proud!

@TheCatSenate No thoughts were had.

[georgeanne @absolutment]

if there is one thing @SopranoJane & i could impart to high school & college-aged music students now, it would be: if you think a song is JUST about a bird, a flower, or a tree?

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@ericasipes @bathorykitsz Exactly. Focusing on intervals alone if you’re reading at tempo feels like counting the trees while you’re driving through a giant forest. It just isn’t efficient for me.

[Jane Hoffman @SopranoJane]

@bathorykitsz @ericasipes That is probably where focusing on intervals is most useful, but I do think my mind still focuses on patterns in that repertoire (rhythmic patterns, units of pitches, etc)
