#just finished an assignment about how i personally would combat the school-to-prison pipeline in my classroom and ahh#if i ever date anyone i hope they're cool w me being busy a lot of the time bc whoo boy. being a director already takes up a good chunk of#time outside of the classroom since you're constantly preparing new sections of music to be taught. this can mean recording rehearsal tracks#studying the music for dynamic movements + the interplay between the lines or practicing how you're going to conduct specific parts of the#songs. in my interview w my middle school director i think he said he spent ~4 hours everyday outside of work just preparing music for each#upcoming day? but then I also want to run anonymous concern jars so students can express their worries about the classroom without having to#say things to my face bc ik firsthand that can be really terrifying! but i want to review these jars every night so i can address them in#class the next day or throughout the week. esp if it's issues like 'the altos have no idea how we're supposed to practice mm 53-68' or 'the#soprano 2's cant rehearse because we all kinda hate each other' these are things i want to be on my toes about knowing and addressing!#but figuring out the best and most considerate ways to do that will again. take time.#and i also want to stay afterschool everyday to help students catch up on music or their other hw/ provide voice + piano lessons/ give#students a place to Linger while their parents are at work or any other reason a kid may not want to go home right away#i also want to host weekly choir dinners for students + parents/families who face food insecurity#so like looking at all of it..i'm like ooga booga there will be No Time for a partner in your life but i'm also like :'o having someone to#tackle these things with was a huge reason both of my directors didn't go insane so like... to quote that one meme. i too would like a sword#idk#i really enjoyed doing that assignment and thinking through how i would show my kids that i'm there for them but it made me realize the#reality of my future conflicts w my fantasies about the future which were getting married + having a small family. bb girl you won't have#time for all that lmao!!! i guess as i go through music school i'll meet more people who actually deal with this stuff day in and day out +#see how they manage it ^^; it's just. Funky to think about. not bad but different ig??#ramble#long post#sriracha.txt
