Recently, one of our trumpeteers (that sounds much better than trumpeter, doesn't it?) went to the chiropracter. Apparently, he was in pretty bad shape.
It was because he has bad posture, of course.
I also have pain in my core, but that's because I don't have enough muscle mass to keep my bones in place. That's ok, though. I don't know why.
Whatever, today we tuned and that always takes forever because Tristen is the only one who's ever in tune on the first try because he has more talent than the rest of us put together or why do you think he gets 1's at contest?
Most of us were flat.
Rabbit trail! How do you know whether to pull a slide out of push a slide in to get in tune? Which makes it sharper and which makes it flatter?
If I stab you with a knife, what are you going to say?
(At this point, most people will say "ow," like you actually just stabbed them with a knife.)
"It's SHARP, pull it OUT!"
Oh, the genius of Mrs. Grover.
But, I digress.
Most of us were flat.
Why were we flat?
Because we had bad posture.
NOT SO in Mr. Neumann's class!
Nobody will slouch, nobody will lean on the back of their chairs (what if we used stools?), and nobody, NOBODY WILL EVER CROSS THEIR LEGS!
That way, they'll all be in tune.
What if they aren't?
We'll just go with Dillon's solution: stab them with knives.
After all, he did tell us that his back was hurting from "all this good posture."
beautiful!
