im really happy. i got two new violin students! they can play, but one doesnt know some of the notes....so with her im gonna start slow..help her figure them out then give her various etudes to help her technique. same tyhing with her brother. i havent heard them yet, but im glad they arent fresh out starting violin and know at least how to hold the instrument some what rioght and know some of the notes and all. the younger one is apparantly better but we'll see. im really excited. ui havent heard them play yet, im just going by what the mother told me. i hear them in about two weeks, when i have my first lessons with them. so exciting! som, i was really the other day. this kid in my school sent me emails pretneding to be someone that i had a crush on in school. you could imagine my melancholy state after i found out some kid was playing a joke on me. margaretha's class today. she really helped me out with my playing! she said my rhythm is sooooooooo much better! i was really happy. i mean, it wasnt awful but it certainly wasnt too great. now, its a lot better. yay! :)she also told me to vibrate before i put the finger down, and to work on my bow distribution, since i put to much of myself in a piece and not enough of tchiakovsky(im learning the canzonetta with her) what a great teacher. shes so much fun. this weirdo kid is like, stalking my friend. i feel bad for her. ugh. music history final tomorrow. and a social studies test. ughhhhh....later....
