  i don’t know popcorn. but i believe you will be able to find a major scale for any instrument with only rudimentary searching.

  after that, twinkle twinkle is 1-1-5-5-6-6-5 4-4-3-3-2-2-1 5-5-4-4-3-3-2 5-5-4-4-3-3-2 1-1-5-5-6-6-5 4-4-3-3-2-2-1. sometimes i get fancy and end the last phrase with 2-3-1 instead but if you get comfortable enough with the scale, twinkle twinkle is a breeze.

  then in the hall of the mountain king is a great way to work on precision and speed. and i truly believe if you can do that, you can buckle down and learn anything else.

  i play trumpet, harmonica, ocarina, penny whistle, glockenspiel (and all other mallet percussion), and guitar. i found piano to be daunting, so maybe this advice specifically is not good for that instrument, and diatonic harmonica and penny whistle both lack some notes that might make in the hall of the mountain king difficult. i don’t know. i didn’t actually learn that tune on those instruments.

  but, basically, yes. just do it.

  here are some other standards: when the saints go marching in, and somewhere over the rainbow. that one’s fun because it has both an octave jump in it and a phrase with accidentals.

  the audio production in this propaganda piece is some of the worst I’ve ever encountered. it seems designed to torture the audience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not torture, and your propaganda film doesn’t change the fact that eating meat isn’t animal abuse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s not abuse

  I don’t believe you know enough animal advisors to make such a claim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sensory Biology of Plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not defending the claim “plants think”. I’m saying there is not, and cannot be, evidence to the contrary. which you seem to understand, so I don’t know why you felt it took four paragraphs to agree with me.

  what is “bad” about a take that literally references the vegan society?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this is not evidence that the reasoning is anywhere near universally about consent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if that’s true, why isn’t that party of the definition proffered by the vegan society?

  do you have any evidence for this claim?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the term “consent” doesn’t appear anywhere in the definition of veganism, not does the definition allude to the concept
