bring on the clefs

April 30, 2008 at 1:04 AM

I had a mini-epiphany of sorts about clef signs. I am certainly proficient in reading all clefs, though I confess I am least fond of tenor clef. I am playing my viola for a Holocaust memorial this Sunday and am filling in for a cellist, so when I started transcribing her part for Bloch's "Prayer", I was thinking things like "oh I better not mess up this tenor clef". But, in my brilliance after driving a 350 mile round trip today for an interview, it finally dawned on me to just think of the moveable nature of the clef. Duh...

See, all those French solfeg books and Bach Cantatas from Mrs. Roy's ear training class were not sight sung in vain.

It was my "earnest block" I guess.

I was in your 'hood today and thought about you- had a meeting at the Bibb BOE office for a Georgia User Group of Encore software. Downtown Macon is very pretty. Are you considering moving? D

Possibly, possibly not. My husband is weighing a job offer, but it may not be enough $$$. There are many issues with my position, though next year should be better, as I will only have elementary strings and elementary music. I usually have a Fine Arts Dept. meeting at the BOE on Tuesday afternoon. If it had not been cancelled we may have run into each other.

Well, that would have been fun!
