Minor triad goes into a bar...the WHOLE story:
C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

Found this on a noticeboard at ANU School of Music- Something for us to think about 🎶

I have discussed this chart with my studio about the quantity VS quality. The numbers of the hours might look impressive here, but it’s more important to have quality practice. Mindless practice without engaging ears and mind, with more repetition will do more harm than good. And in fact you will need double amount of practice to undo an incorrect habit then rebuild a correct habit!
