    Adam, this is most definitely not a joke. I'm a professional chef who is learning music theory as a hobbyist, and I will GLADLY trade music theory lessons for grilled cheese lessons. The best grilled cheese in the world is a fine goal, and it's doable, but here's the issue: restaurants that have the best ingredients aren't going to have grilled cheese. It will have to be at home, but I can get you to the top of the mountain. Let me know if you're interested. I've worked for a Michelin 3 star chef, and at a Forbes 5 star restaurant, and I am 100% sincere here.

      This should be done, filmed, and published.
      As a cheese lover and all-round gourmand, I understand the importance of the concept of the best grilled cheese. You open that door, you invite overcomplicating it: too many cheeses, fancy bread - come on, the Platonic ideal here is melty cheese between two slices. Yes, you can do better than Kraft Singles and Wonder bread. But Stilton and Manchego on cinnamon raisin bread will deserve a kick in the shins.
      Start with flavor and texture. Gruyère on sourdough might be a nice starting point vis-à-vis ingredients.
      For any more, I must defer to the chef - both due to superior training, and I won't step on any toes with free advice. ;) A schmear of whole grain Dijon? Griddled or pressed? Nah, that's for the professional. I just try not to burn the damn thing.

      The point of that solfege is to communicate specific rhythms with other musicians, and since there's not standard, that won't work in practice, even if it's good in theory. However, if you just use it yourself to remember stuff, you know your own system so that's probably good.

    There's also rhythmic solfege that uses "ta" "te" "la" and "li". 16th notes are 1 ta te ta 2 ta te ta, etc., and triplets are 1 la li 2 la li.
    It's what I learned in middle school band. I think it's more commonly used for wind players to help practice articulation. It also sounds a little more archaic and refined than "1 e and a".

    My old boss at my first teaching job used to have us teach our students to count triplets as "1-a -lee 2-a-lee etc." His reasoning was because "1-and-a" implies it as a sixteenth note passage and that at faster tempos it was hard to count triplets out loud as "1-trip-let." It was an entirely pedagogical issue for him, the earlier drum students counting out loud while they play was incredibly important to us.

      To be fair, they're probably not writing music down if that was a serious question. It's entirely plausible that they just found the D# on their guitar, keyboard or whatever, built the major scale from there and then just played the music without ever working out what the individual note names were other than their root. That's a really common thing to do, especially now when anyone can have easy access to recording tools which makes writing music down to remember for later pointless unless you plan to re-learn it for performance again later.

    In marching percussion, specifically marching bass drums, “counting” thirty second notes is very essential. It is common to play a bass drum rudiment called a “hand-to-hand”, where two bass drummers play sixteenth notes at the same time but one of the drummers offsets his sixteenth notes by a single thirty-second note partial. Effectively playing the “2-4-6-8” partials of a beat of thirty-second notes.

      10 has tritone symmetry and a (maybe less than) perfect 5th, but even the pentatonic scale is beyond recognition. 16 keeps a lot of the familiar symmetries but we lose the 5th altogether. Any one of these comparisons is worth multiple videos on its own

We also used to reference the triplets as "tri-po-let" so the "tri" would be the first, "pul" would be the second, and "let" would be the third. This worked really well when trying to understand rhythms. I just never really thought that anyone else did the _exact_ same thing.
