I need to vent. If you need to vent too, go ahead and do it in this thread.
I have a... friend I guess you could call him? To preserve his anonymity, we shall call him Frake Joelich, or Frake for short. What bugs me about Frake is that he often talks pompously about things he doesn't understand and then refuses to admit he was wrong after people who do understand try to explain it to him. For example, I mentioned my desire to take AP Music Theory my senior year. He mentioned that it would be nearly impossible for me to just jump right into AP, going on about having to know a note by ear and how it's like band backwards (huh? I'm in choir, not band.). I tried to explain to him that I took a look at the actual AP test book and that I'm sure I could pass the class. What he didn't understand is that the AP Music Theory test does NOT require you to know a note by ear. Intervals, yes. Chords, less so but still yes. Form, yes. Various musical functions and techniques, yes. All in all, an excellent class for anyone wishing to compose classical or baroque era music.
Well, that's my vent for today. Yeah, I exaggerated a bit, but it still irks me.
