Request: Glassworks

I'd like to have students that are willing to go beyond the threshold of tonality, but at the same time to know that form is important. I created a successful sonata which consisted of ternary in every movement, so I'd like the following from my prospective students:

1. Open Mindedness
2. Loyalty
3. Intellegence
4. Sacrosanctification
5. Empathogenesis
6. Entactogenesis


Request: Glassworks

ummmm.....those last three are pretty funny given the fact that considering they aren't really words, and they follow Intelegence, I'm aware you likely did this on purpose but just so others might realise the humor i went ahead and defined the last three as follows.

sacro-

prefix
of God or a god; (that must be respected because) connected with religion or with God or a god

sanctification

noun
a religious ceremony in which something is made holy

Empathogen-entactogen

The terms empathogen and entactogen are different terms used to describe a class of psychoactive drugs that produce distinctive emotional and social effects similar to MDMA ("ecstasy"). Other members of this class are MDA, MDEA, MBDB, and AET. When referring to MDMA and related analogs the term 'MDxx' is often used. Entactogens are often incorrectly referred to as hallucinogens or stimulants. The chemical structure of most entactogens contains a substituted amphetamine core.
The term "empathogen" was coined in 1983 by Ralph Metzner to denote chemical agents inducing feelings of empathy.

"Entactogen" was coined by David E. Nichols as an alternative to "empathogen", attempting to avoid the potential for improper association of the latter with negative concepts related to the Greek root "pathos" (suffering); Nichols also thought the word was limiting, and did not cover other therapeutic uses for the drugs which go beyond instilling feelings of empathy. The word "entactogen" is derived from the roots "en" (Greek: within), "tactus" (Latin: touch) and "gen" (Greek: produce). Neither term is dominant in usage, and despite their difference in connotation are essentially interchangeable as they refer to precisely the same chemicals.

Well put, and well researched.

Students welcome.

dude, this is not the correct way to handle this. Please read up the rules and formal way of getting students in the Sign-up forum (or the Volunteers for Teaching thread). You should post in there that you wish to be a teacher, not making a new thread, since this area is reserved for lessons. I'll go ahead and close this.

Small confusion here: at present, the rules state that the correct path regarding teaching applications is to create a new thread in the Lessons forum. Glassworks was therefore not in the wrong in creating a new thread, as Nick has stated. However, the fact that he ignored my response to his application - in the negative, almost exclusively due to his attitude problem, which he has now paraded around for all to see - yet continued to recruit students in this setting did render this thread worthy of closure.

Apologies for any confusion caused. I should point out that the rules may yet continue to evolve as we discover what works best.
