Lumpia

August 26, 2006 13:15

If anyone wasdwondering lumpia is a Filipino food. It is kind of like an eggroll. But there is meat, vegtables. Fried. No matter how bad it may be for you it tastes really good.

Luke

August 23, 2006 16:28

I am talking to a bunch of friends. Luke Strong just fell off his bed. He is so weird. But a good friend. And he has a very weird personality. He plays games and talks on the phone at the same time. He also critizes my piano playing.

I want a grand piano. If you would like to donate money toward this please contact me. Ha-Ha only joking.

CHEEZ-IT

August 21, 2006 10:23

On Sunday evening I had the privalige of play a duet with our pianist for the whole service. It was fun. I was told by some people that I wasn't loud enough. But to some people I was loud enough to be heard. O well, that's over with now. I remember sweating so profusely on the invitation that I was losing a grip on my bow, and my vibrato was very messy. No one noticed though.

Do you think I'd have to buy a more expensive violin than a beginner one for college? I think so, I just want someone else's confirmation.

What's your favorite flavor of CHEEZ-IT? This doesn't have any thing to do with violin. I'm just curious.

When accopamying an congregational song, what is customary for the violin to play? I played the tenor lie a lot. But most violinsit can't read the bass clef.

I want a grand piano. If you would like to donate money to me just e-mail. HA-HA.

5th position?

August 15, 2006 13:56

Como esta ud? How is everybody. Muy bien, I hope. I have been excited, I will very soon begin studying past tense in Spanish. This may not seen very exciting to you, but to me it makes me very happy.

Moving on. Violin practice goes very well. I have a question. I am playing a song just out of my league. Anyways, It goes into the 5th position. What is the easiest way to practice that and get it correct? Do people put fingering tape out that far?

In piano, I just attented a music seminar on how to play better for your church. Loved it. Great deal of information. It was led be Dr. Mike Zachary. Who I admire very much.

Cello practice is going slow. In about half a year I want to start lessons.

That you so much for reading this.
I want a grand piano and anyone who like to give toward this, please e-mail me.
Adios para ahora.

Evil English Report

August 4, 2006 14:01

A Beka has been good to me. My schooling is so much fun. I had to write a report for English. I wanted to write it on my love for my violin and piano. But I wasn't allowed to, so I wrote it on gardens. :(

Piano has been good to me. I love it so much. I have just started teaching a new student. Who I like very much. Teaching is quite a job. If anyone has any advice, please give it. It would be much appreciated.

Cello is very very very very hard. Any advice would be appreciated. Also every time I play my arm hurts. The bowing arm that is. It aches. Maybe I don't have the right posture.

Adios para now.
Is that right? What's the word for now?

I want a grand piano.
