An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

High school band offers Dean a corner of the world that isn’t broken, where the music is loud and all his own.

But when he starts college and crosses paths with Castiel Novak, the effortlessly cool and endlessly talented jazz legend on campus, everything changes. Cas sees through Dean’s sarcasm and bravado, inviting him into a world with no rules, late-night practice sessions, and music that makes feelings impossible to ignore.

Or—Where two music nerds fall in love and learn to improvise along the way

I wanted to do an intro or something to see if it would at least reach some people (?), but im pretty confident that It will

Im 15 turning 16 next March

Im really really into eltingville, NINAH, music, cry of fear, chiikawa, and basically anything you’d expect from some basic 15 year old weirdo💔

I played in a jazz band for most of my middle school years but as I got into high school I swapped over to marching band and focus more on that.

I used to be in MCJROTC but now I take Mandarin classes and stuff :)

I like Weezer, Nerf Herder, Bloodhound gang, Adrianne Lenker, Faye Webster, and a few big thief songs٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I speak English, Spanish, French, Polish, Mandarin, and a bit of German. (Most are very rudimentary save for French, Mandarin and Spanish.)

I also play a multitude of different instruments. I play flute, bassoon, double bass, a bit of guitar, some clarinet, saxophone, piano, and I also play trumpet! :)

I collect lots of stuff ranging from stuffed animals to stickers, and everything in between, such as pins, little fan merch, and sometimes even clothing articles!..

Tldr; I’m a basic white female who is 15, I like eltingville, chiikawa, music, and other stuff. I’m obviously bullied. I like to brag. be my friend pls.

(Practicing in the band room after school) “If I can’t play this run right I swear I’m gonna end up on the news”

(From across the room) “YOU’RE GONNA END UP ON YOUR KNEES????”

“NO!”

Hullo musician friends!! Id love some insight! I’m writing up some “tips and tricks” sheets for some of my tutoring students and the current one I’m working on is for sight-reading. 

Other than just practicing sight-reading I’ve tried explaining that what helps me is thinking about an order of importance when you are handed a piece of music and told “play now” because my brain tends to overcomplicate things. For example I make sure to check the key/time signature and the end (D.S/D.C/tag/rit/etc) then my order of importance (TO ME) is the rhythm, the actual notes (minus accidentals (again this is just me but I have to simplify my brain down to “just read the dots” sometimes)), expression marks, dynamics, then everything else if I can think of it. 

BUT I don’t wanna be sharing this with students if it’s a skewed idea of what the majority would rank. 

I know I wanna keep rhythm first because I think it shows a lot of promise if you can hit the rhythms on a first play through. But if anyone has any insight into how you would order the importance of other performance aspects while sight reading (eg. pitch, dynamics, expression marks(articulation/ornamentation/etc), musicality, phrasing, even breath support or tone and shit). Im a brass player but if any non mouth instrument players have rankings like bowing or use of the pedal that would be good to know too. Thanks lads!
