My piece in Choir is coming along, though there's this one section with tricky (and humorous) rhythm that completely threw off the guys (the only ones with music written during this part)...especially the tenors.
I'm starting to get fairly out of sync with my three GM classes. In previous weeks, when something slightly different occurred in one class, I could easily remember it the next day and adapt. Now, though, I find myself asking the class what they have written down from the day before, because they're all in different places. Much of this isn't my fault (repeating fire drill procedures, unexpected code red drills, wildly differing capabilities and behaviors...), so I'm saying, "C'est la vie," but hoping to do better...soon.
I finally got to go over that difficult quiz with the theory student who was absent when we finished doing so in class. He is struggling, so it turned into quite a tutoring session. I'm trying not to baby him, because he is definitely motivated, but he guesses when I ask him questions that the other students began to consider rudimentary weeks ago. I'm hoping that with the right exercises, some tutoring time, and clear encouragement to spend some time on musictheory.net, he'll pass comfortably.
