Finally, I'm improving...

February 17, 2007 at 8:50 AM

My teacher commented that I'm improving, and I feel so happy. I've actually not been practicing that much, but am able to play things fairly well, with just one walk through. My next lesson, the teacher asked if I had any special sheet music that I'd like to learn, so I'm bringing in James Bond and Star Wars. Does that make me a bad person?

Heh, not all of us want to play Bach;)

I have felt exactally the opposite recently. I have a new teacher and we are doing tons of etudes lately. And when I get one thing right she wants she points out something else I am doing wrong. We have been on the same etude for about a month and I hope it will end soon lol...
If you don't join Bach Anonymous it won't last.
i learned those by ear
Adults get to play whatever they want! (Don't forget Dust in the Wind and The Devil Went Down to Georgia...)
We played some John Williams in my high school orchestra--Star Wars, Superman. The audience loved it. So did I. But unless you're playing Princess Leia's theme or something, the brass have much better parts than the violins . . .
I love Star Wars!
Dust in the Wind has a great violin part!
