today was nice. i studied my butt off for a math test and it ended up going really well. i sight read some in margarethas class....wow. my rhythm sucks....haahahah....oh well! its gotten so much better. ughi have so much practicing to do today!well, this kid came in today to cac to play for margaretha. he played allegro brilliante by some dutch guy.....and at first i thought he was gonna be some little prodigy....but a lot of the notes about 1/3 were out of tune. he also couldnt bow quite well(well, that okay he was 12) and he didnt know the names of the notes.....so margaretha did the best she could. i felt bad for him tho. i really have to work on my sightreading. i think to do that i will get parts to chamber pieces and then work on them. like some mozart or something. over the summer i will. i mean, i dont have trouble alone, its mostly when im doing chmaber music i need to focus more on my part when sightreading.
