Hawaii

November 28, 2006 14:26

I'm in Hawaii now. I don't think my violin likes the heat. But that's ok because I'm not in Hawaii for my violin, I'm here for me. I love it here. But I wouldn't want to live here.

Violin is my favorite instrument except for piano

November 21, 2006 14:24

I have been working on a piece for Christmas. It has four or five songs in it. I guess it's a medley. But it's so beautiful and it's hard enough for me to want to work on.
I have also started working on Bach's Concerto in D minor for two violins. I am, of course, the first violin. I wouldn't settle for anything less.
I learned a new chord from my sister on the guitar. A 11. All it is is all the strings except for the lowest. :-) I love it. I don't know when I'll use it.
Hawaii in two days, and counting.

I want a grand piano, if you would like to donate please e-mail me. Only joking, kind of.

Music Theory

November 15, 2006 14:18

I want to start studying writing four part harmony. I have posted a thing on the discussion board, but if you have any other advice, please let me know.
Four part harmony must have lots of hard rules. They should make it easier.
I have a friend who plays violin for 7 years now. But he doesn't know the first thing about music theory. I was so sad for him. Because if he knew then he wouldn't be so uninformed.

I want a grand piano. If you would like to donate to this please e-mail me. Only joking- kind of.

In My Dreams 3....

November 13, 2006 13:59

Today I went skydiving on a unicycle with my violin, while playing Bach's concerto for two violins, the second violin part. When I landed I rode the unicycle to Carnegie Hall where they let me play. I was approaced by Joshua B. asnd he asked me if I could teach him how to play like that. I said that I would have time if he schedlued something with my secretary.
Next week I play on going in a hot air ballon around the world trip and playing violin the whole way.
In a month or so I play on owning a very large music store chain, here in the pacific northwest.

Hillary H. is still prgressing very fast. She might actually be able to play violin one day.

Thank you for reading. None of this is true or will ever be true. So please don't e-mail concerning this thank you.
I want a grand piano. I you would like to donate please contact me. Only joking, kind of.

Orange Winter, additional family?

November 8, 2006 15:26

This winter I have decided to work on the Orange Blossom Special. I got from the library. Yay. : )
I'm so happy. Anyone out there who has played it what would the end tempo be? So I have entitled this winter: The Orange Winter.

I hope to start a new instrument. I don't know if my dad will let me. Here's a list of new instruments:
Saxophone
Viola
Trumpet
French Horn
Mandolin

Maybe I'll get to start one. Hopefully. I think it would be fun to play the mandolin. But the more string instruments I play the more it costs to keep the strings in good condition. The brass I probably won't get to play, because my dad had a trumpet. He was never a musician. He just had one. So that leave the Saxophone. My pastor would be able to give me lessons, on account of he plays saxophone.

In My Dreams 2....

November 3, 2006 18:27

Today I played a duet with someone whose name is a toy. (Hint: the yo-yo). We had a wonderful time. I was on the recorder and he was on the cello. Tomorrow I go out to buy Carnegie Hall. And next week I will relocate it to Seattle. Joshua B. came to my house to borrow an E string. I gave him a wagon load of strings. But they were all tangled. So I had him de-tangle them. In one month I will conduct a science experiment on falling pianos and violins. Which do think will fall faster? Duh. Neither. In April of next year I will go to Luke's house and hit him over the head with his violin. Ha Ha. I love it. I hope he can salvage the strings. And maybe the bridge.

NONE of this is real and for your entertainment only. Thank you for your time.

I want a grand piano. If you would like to donate please e-mail me. Ha ha. Only joking kind of.
