#10444

im so cold all the time and im trying to figure out if its winter or if my blood stopped being hot

#10445

I think it might be winter, just a thought

#10446

uhhhhhhh I only sorta took AP music theory so I couldnā€™t fully describe whatā€™s included

I remember they covered various cadences (perfect authentic cadence, deceptive cadence, inauthentic cadence, probably a bunch more) but that was only a minor thing
also there was 4-part writing which had a ton of rules you had to memorize

#10447

but what if im slowly dying

#10448

(I took the lower level of music theory but it was in the same room at the same time so I heard some of the AP-level stuff, then I much later took the AP test)

#10449

i know what modes are but i couldnā€™t tell you which is which. cadences arenā€™t that hard idt? but again. matter of remembering which is which. maybe iā€™m just too quizbowlbrained

#10453

those are certainly mode names i recognize

#10454

although you missed an r in phrygian iā€™m gonna generously assume thatā€™s a typo
