Today could be very exciting! Then again, it might be a complete let down. LOL such is life!!
Ah yes, it's today isn't it? I'm sure it'll be brilliant! Just consider yourself lucky you get such treats at all 
True, but it's only my second year of such benevolence, so I'm taking nothing for granted 
Can you recommend a book or two of technical exercises for the clari which I can get to grips with? I really want to get my teeth into the "correct" way to do things, and not rush on at the expense of the basics.... Thx!!

After an hour with me you won't dare to get anything wrong!
Your purchases over the weekend should see you right to start with, but you summed it up perfectly yourself - don't rush on! I know your new toy should be arriving shortly, but try to resist the temptation to play it when it arrives (but if you really can't wait, we might be able to bring your lesson forward). Beyond that, we'll see how you get on, and if there are any areas which obviously need improvement.
I like the idea of you and Pig sitting on a packed commuter train doing off-instrument breathing and tongueing exercises

<frantically fights urge to post extremely crude comments> If you must, although how would mrsbouffant feel about that? I'd advise against it (i) in case you roll over during the night and damage it; and (ii) in case you damage it by putting it together clumsily. Have it on the bedside table, so that it's the last thing you see in the evening, and the first thing you see in the morning. Entirely up to you whether you want to give your clarinet a goodnight kiss each evening.
come on you pair of ageing teenagers! haven't you got it together yet?.
don't forget the cork grease. one must make sure tenons fit properly unless the tube is too big then you got problems.

Ageing teenager indeed! OK, so I'm 21 (in hexadecimal), but I still feel 17, which is actually quite ironic given how old I felt when I actually was 17. Anyway, I'm sure bouffy's instrument is just the right size, and I will ensure it's greased to perfection.
SirP!

<shakes head and tuts loudly> Ageing teenager!
bouffy, in case you were wondering, I was actually referring to your clarinet! You need to ensure that the cork joints are greased enough so that you can assemble it without any problems, and that it comes apart easily as well.
Cork grease is fairly revolting stuff, tea isn't. Anyone care for a cuppa?

mr b,
don't forget a cloth to wipe off the residues afterward or it might get tarnished.

I'm not used to all this maintenance. I normally pay a man to come in and sort out my organ..
SirP, don't worry, he'll be in safe hands, and I'll make sure that's covered.
bouffy, I thought being able to do running repairs was part of the skill of being an organist, and organists only got a man in to fix their instrument for the bigger jobs that require more than simple DIY skills.

ooh no! I know enough to pull a pipe out when it's constantly cyphering, but other than that, I'm happy to pay for a Master Organ Builder's expertise!!

This is a family forum
Morning all. Just about to embark on my first teaching task since my little setback. Got quite used to being waited on.
Morning diapason, good to see you up and about again. Hope you've got some of your less stressful pupils lined up this morning, and not the chunky one with a foul mouth who think he knows everything.
Do you think you could train your pupils to bring you refreshments, meals and medication as required?
Not sure about this being a family forum - I actively discourage Husband from dropping in!

Right, well, let's get opened up for the lunchtime shift.
Kettle's on, anyone want a cuppa?
Kettle's on, anyone want a cuppa?
Oh, go on then, if you insist. I suppose I'd better start making the sandwiches, and should stand by to toast fresh teacakes as required.
Thanks Deborah. I'll have banana sandwiches on brown bread, please. I'm in a comfort-eating mood.
Morning everyone - I will be off in a few minutes, just handed in my final final finished piece of History coursework!
Well done, Oddball!
<braces herself to make banana sandwiches> Ugh, they're really squishy. Hope the home-made bread is up to scratch.
Hope nothing too serious is up katyjay, but there's fresh peppermint tea if you need a real lift.

mr b,
don't forget a cloth to wipe off the residues afterward or it might get tarnished.

Morning diapason, good to see you up and about again. Hope you've got some of your less stressful pupils lined up this morning, and not the chunky one with a foul mouth who think he knows everything.
Do you think you could train your pupils to bring you refreshments, meals and medication as required?
Not sure about this being a family forum - I actively discourage Husband from dropping in!
I am not surprised ...
Just imagine his shock when he dicovers you greesing MrB's intrument....
Ooooh, can I have banana sarnies on crusty white, please? With a dab of honey... Pwease? *flutters eyelashes and smiles sweetly*
Don't feel up to non-virtual food just yet...

Thanks, Deborah, just what I need.
General Monday morning-ness combined with the Nightmare Singing Lesson from Hell yesterday - I only have to remember twelve songs for this flipping recital, and seven of them are in English, so why did I keep drying up?
And what happened to my intonation? KMT

didn't one once have a choir boy to pump it up a bit?
shame about the march of progress, electric blowers and that.

<hides her cassock and surplice just in case SirPrancealot gets the wrong idea and makes a bad situation worse>
Friend of mine is a vicar's daughter, and her father had a small rural parish. There was a power cut just in time for midnight mass one year, so no heating, no lighting, and no electric blowers for the organ. Her brother was then bribed to operate the bellows manually, so was working away in t-shirt and jeans, getting warmer and warmer all the time, whilst the rest of the congregation were wrapped up in hundreds of layers, gently shivering by candlelight.
Thank you D. Banana sandwiches are excellent comfort food!
KJ: eeek. hope things improve now it's Monday afternoon...
YAP: yup....

yeh, much better sweating it out in the organ loft [rather than shivering in the pews] as long as one doesn't get anything caught in the swell-box door...
Afternoon all - anyone for a cup of tea? I could really do with one right now...
Afternoon Oddball.
I've just made a pot of Hawaiian Kona coffee. It's AP's birthday so I made one of my reserve coffees.

It's good. I am going to try recording something later to get an objective viewpoint, but thus far I'm very chuffed!
Hey Sarah! Am at school doing 'Private Study' because my games teacher isn't here!

Ditto (even though I like trampolining). I'm in music, trying to come up with a good drum beat using Hammerhead.
Has the tuning settled in yet, or does it need fiddling with every five minutes?
I thought my violin playing sounded much better when I nicked my sister's violin and was playing with three times the value of my previous equipment. Oh, I might have put my name down for something on violin at Leicester .

It's holding the tuning remarkably well already.
Ooooh, do tell!
Trampolining was fun but we never got to do much in the lesson... too many people not enough trampolines!

AP hates front drops; can't stand them. Full-twisting straightbacks, no problem; front drops - yuck!

Pretty good, thanks. Having a day off, which is nice

Oh bless, the year 7 music class are singing "humpty dumpty" in 2 part harmony!!!!
Does anyone know how to import a file from Hammerhead to Logic Audio?

I never could get the hang of trampolining, especially front drops...I always seem to land face first
Wow, year 7s singing in harmony!! Cool!

Blame the coaches.... Are they trampolining coaches or just PE teachers who think they can do it?
How have you been taught to do them?

Well sort of shown by someone in my class, but being a lank I tend to stand out more when I get it wrong...

I just managed to record the whole of the largo without the mic being plugged in....
D'oh.

Humpty Dumpty sounds like it must be cute!
am back, the year 7s are now singing 'Old Macdonald' mixed with 'Who Let the Dogs Out?'. The effect is best left to the imagination...
