comment Instrument Register tone and quality chart
Glad it was helpful. I should add that you won't find a single chart with descriptive qualities, but rather small individual charts within each instrument section.

comment Drum set made from towels/pillows
I am inclined to disagree with this answer - I challenge that any benefits from practicing on pillows do not outweigh the pros. I have practice drums on pillows before, and I only found it helpful when learning rudiments of specific beat patters and developing basic kinesthetic coordination. When developing such rudimentary technique, drums are not necessary. However, they are a nonviable option long term as it warps response / timing perception and develops poor fine motor technique. That said, one might just conclude to practice this same rudimentary coordination at a real set with hands.

I agree. I should probably note that my thoughts were not intended to be considered in chronological order, but rather just the order in which I thought of them.

comment Teaching a student to match pitch
Ha - my apologies, from your question's context I naturally assumed she was a child. Yes, since she is an adult student it would certainly be okay to omit that step.

comment How does countertenor vocal technique differ from “standard” vocal technique?
Thank you for the information Wheat - my knowledge in this area is incomplete. I have had little personal experience with countertenors. You mention technique is taught at universities? Which ones?

comment What do you call plucking the violin strings with the finger, rather than using the bow?
Yes, each type of pizzicato that I mentioned has its own unique notation.
