My nails are pretty. =)
Because I painted them. I never paint my nails I'm paranoid of my music teachers being skeptical of showy nails.
That changed last week. I rehearsed with Tahlia and guess what? Her nails were painted! And they were oh so pretty.
Heh.
Practice practice practice... Chopin, Beethoven, Scarlatti.
I'll be spending quality time with them for the next two months.
I might as well list the things I have to get done during the break. I love lists. Makes me feel organized. And I always lose my lists...so I'll post it here.
- Study history subjects
- Prepare history presentation ( Sibelius' Seventh Symphony )
- Write my composition based on Minimalism
- Finish aural assignment
- Work on Theory

Ok! Enough of that! What's done is done. It's all good.

My poor poor fingers.....Music should be a health hazard. The strain put into one's fingers/hands/arms/legs/ears is simply backbreaking. Oh yes, my back is suffering too.
And my eyes! All that staring at little wee notes has taken its toll. I need contacts.
An interesting conversation I had with a saxophonist last week -
Him: And apparently, brass and wind players are great kissers.
Me: Oh really.
Him: Sure! With all that lip and mouth action whilst playing, we've taken kissing to an art form.
Me: Don't forget the tongue.
Him: Oh yes. We're good at that especially.
Me: Staccato is produced by flutter tonguing.
Him: 'tis.
(pause)
Him: So you're a pianist and violinist.
Me: Correct.
Him: What are they good at?
Me: Oh, lots of things.
Him: Such as....
Me: Well, we have to work on fingering a lot.
Him: *raises brows*
Me: Alright. Change of subject!
I am surrounded by horny music students.
Help.
