I will avoid your winter and say late spring at the very earliest.

Yes, I have a question: who are your favorite composers?

And they say it will be a cold, snowy winter . . . .

Bach is always on the list.  Lately Sibelius has been making way into the top slots as well.

But you do you have a favourite composer revolving door like John, do you?

[Sergeant Rock]

Are you still a member of the Toledo Symphony?

Sarge

[toledobass]

I am not Sarge, though I just played a classics week with them as a sub.  The orchestra still sounds terriffic even though I'm not there 😜.

I would say the top 3 slots are pretty stable,  the battle from 4-10 is fierce.

What amount of individual preparation/rehearsal does an orchestra musician require or is given when faced with a new orchestral work (to him/her) to play for a performance ? Can musicians play right off the bat when faced with the score for the first time, and then it is just a matter of fine tuning with the conductor ?... or is there a larger amount of personal rehearsal as an individual or as a section beforehand ?

[North Star]

Superstring theory

Of course, if we asked trombonist..

When is the midterm?

Should I study more from the book, or more from your lectures for the midterm?

I am writing to see whether I can make up the midterm I missed. My uncle's girlfriend's hedgehog sprained its left front ankle, and I had to stay home to watch her sick grandmother while she took the hedgehog to the vet. When can I make up the midterm?

Where is your office?

[can you tell what I do for a living?]

Hahaha... I love it. I'm a TA and was giving an exam review for the whole class (about 100 students) a few weeks ago. I forgot what it exactly was, but someone asked a question and we spent the next couple of minutes discussing it in great detail. Then, literally immediately after we move on, a student sitting up front asks the same exact question. Everyone (literally everyone in the room -- all of the students, me, the two professors sitting in the back, even the student with the question when he realized what happened) burst out laughing. Oh well. We all zone out occasionally. This just happened to have a perfect timing.

Still not as funny as the lecturer who thought the subject was really easy and didn't need to be explained in detail, and when a student asked for something to be clarified, she told him to look into it on his own (and it was a question that I'm certain nobody else in the class knew the answer to..). The funny part is that she hasn't ever taught that class since. She had a real knack for motivating the students, too - she told that they must all pass as she doesn't want to make another exam for the fall (it was clear at this point that a year later sb else would be teaching that course). Needless to say, everyone and their brother took the fall exam, whether they had already passed the course or not.
