Which one?

December 19, 2006 23:09

Tomorrow, or Wednesday December 20, isd when I get my new instrument hopefully. But I'm having second thoughts not about if I should get one, but if I should get a flute, trumpet, or trombone. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can't decide. So here's a list of pros and cons for each. Any help would be appreciated. All of these instruments would cost the same to rent. $15.95

Flute
Pros:
Small
Lightweight
Inexspensive to maintain

Cons:
Very delicate
Arms in a weird position

Trumpet:
Pros:
Able to play many types of music
Only three valves

Cons:
Relatively big
New mouth formation
Really ugly sounds at the beginning.(Kind of like violin)
Have to buy Valve oil
Lot of spit

Trombone:
Pros:
Bass line instrument
Big range

Cons:
Big
New mouth formation
Really ugly sounds at the beginning.(Kind of like violin)
Have to buy Slide grease
Lots of spit
The slide is like the violin and intonation

The Flute

December 18, 2006 11:52

I if I get any money for Christmas am thinking about getting a flute. Most people say that it's a girlly instrument, but one of the greatest flute players that lived was a guy and his first name was Daniel. And it sounds really good with the violin.

The Cello Tradgedy-The Newest Shakespere Play

December 15, 2006 16:33

My cello has undergone a terrible tradgedy. Is that how you spell that? Anyways I am an un experienced player. Today I took my cello out and my D string had come lose for some weird reason. I was just on vacation for 2 weeks. So my D string is lose and I have never ever changed a string in my life. And for those of you who don't play cello, the D string is the one farthest back. And probably the hardest one to change, and I'm trying to salvage the string. So there is that story in a nutshell.
Is there a phobia for being hit in the face from whiplash of a string, especially a thick one?
If you would like to donate to my grand piano fund which has a total of $33.98 please contact me. I'm only joking, kind of.

Rauhauser's Candy

December 12, 2006 16:12

Has anyone out there ever tasted Rauhauser's candy? The store is out in New Jersey, and they don't have a website yet. The owners are my grandparents. They make good candy. It's too bad I don't like chocolate.

After the vacation....

December 11, 2006 20:42

Today is a good day for practicing violin since today was rainy. Not that I go outside very often anyway. And I've already finished tenth grade. I get to start eleventh grade just after the new year. It's cool being home schooled. :-) (Agree with me all you home schoolers.) I wish I had practiced cello, but I have no cello rosin. :-( I want to get some but I don't have the money. Expensive vacation equals no money. Ha ha.
