Reform: TFA On SNL
Oh, god. The black-haired lead singer of Sleigh Bells (musical guest on Saturday Night Live last weekend) is a TFA alum. Via Eduwonk.
It sorta makes sense, though. Alexis Krauss, South Bronx '09, talks about her teaching experience here.
Veteran musicians everywhere are grumbling about her lack of formal preparation and unwarranted success.
No, it would only be analogous if there were unsupported CLAIMS of superiority with wildly juked stats to misleadingly purport to show success. She has only played her instrument for 5 weeks and is far superior to musicians who've practiced religiously for 20 years!
