Hi everyone

How are you all?

I'm kinda annoyed...dry.gif
Got exam mark sheet back and although I'm ok with it its clear that I could have done quite a bit better and my piano teacher obviously thinks so too (from the look on his face...though I don't think my parents actually care..laugh.gif)
Got 23, 22 and 21 for pieces, 15 for sightreading, 18 for scales (woo!) and 14 for aural...

Have to do this stupid cwk thing which is really hard because I can't actually remember half the stuff that I wrote and now have to delete some and add more in wacko.gif

And finally, I have something to ask you guys...do you think I should do this?
For our end of year 11 assembly (in about 2-3 weeks time) each form has 10 mins to do something. We;ve got photos, music, we're doing a random video so all's good. Then we started thinking about memories that we could talk about and came up with quite a few.

Then someone (who was then immediately backed my most of the class) suggested that me and 2 of my friends do Vanessa Carlton's 1000 miles again. The reason for this is that in year 9 I played the music and they sang this for a friend who left to live in Australia, and the session ended in tears sad.gif So yeah, it IS a memory but I'm not sure I want to do it in front of the whole year, most of whom knew the girl who left but not that well.

The probalem left is that my two friends really want to do it and I feel I'd be letting them down by not wanting to, though I'm not sure if I want to or not... unsure.gif

What do you guys think?

And woohoo another long CISD post...dont get many of those...laugh.gif

Bit annoyed, I got myself lost in Prescot today looking for the register office to get a replacement birth certificate. Turns out I was wandering around the outskirts of the damn town before getting onto the road I wanted. What should have been like a 5 minute walk turned into a 25min wander around a place I've never been to ph34r.gif

On the plus side, it should be here by Friday then I can go to my local station and get my railcard and use it to Hazel Grove and RNCM on Saturday YAY!

How are you all?

I'm kinda annoyed...dry.gif
Got exam mark sheet back and although I'm ok with it its clear that I could have done quite a bit better and my piano teacher obviously thinks so too (from the look on his face...though I don't think my parents actually care..laugh.gif)
Got 23, 22 and 21 for pieces, 15 for sightreading, 18 for scales (woo!) and 14 for aural...

Have to do this stupid cwk thing which is really hard because I can't actually remember half the stuff that I wrote and now have to delete some and add more in wacko.gif

And finally, I have something to ask you guys...do you think I should do this?
For our end of year 11 assembly (in about 2-3 weeks time) each form has 10 mins to do something. We;ve got photos, music, we're doing a random video so all's good. Then we started thinking about memories that we could talk about and came up with quite a few.

Then someone (who was then immediately backed my most of the class) suggested that me and 2 of my friends do Vanessa Carlton's 1000 miles again. The reason for this is that in year 9 I played the music and they sang this for a friend who left to live in Australia, and the session ended in tears sad.gif So yeah, it IS a memory but I'm not sure I want to do it in front of the whole year, most of whom knew the girl who left but not that well.

The probalem left is that my two friends really want to do it and I feel I'd be letting them down by not wanting to, though I'm not sure if I want to or not... unsure.gif

What do you guys think?

And woohoo another long CISD post...dont get many of those...laugh.gif


Looks like your post has been missed, so I'll reply biggrin.gif I don't know, if your friends really want to do it, it would be a nice memory at the end of Year 11. Why do you not want to do it? Because it brings back memories of the girl that left? Your friends doesn't seem to mind too much though, so I don't think the rest of your year would do either. Plus I'm sure they'd be a few tears anyway without the song biggrin.gif

Well done on your exam though. At Grade 8, a pass is still an achievement.

Good luck again Nicki. You'll be fine! biggrin.gif

Hmmm I was feeling unloved! *sniff* tongue.gif

Yes it brings back memories but I just think its a bit pointless if the rest of the year don't know why the song is so significant and also some people in our year are quite ######y about this sort of thing and I'm worried it'll spoil the whole leaving atmosphere... sad.gif

Found something off this website (definition for thread) - this made me laugh:

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn on a computer.

User have you tried pressing the power button?
QUOTE(User)
Joe what is the power button?
QUOTE(Joe)
The power button is usually a small power button located on the front of your computer, pressing this round button should make the computer turn on.
Surely that 'User' person was typing that on a computer! laugh.gif

Yes...
Got told you DON'T blow a wind instrument and spent the time trying to get a consistent sound from the mouthpiece by keeping a steady breath flow and applying pressure with my bottom lip...(vulcan death grip I think).
He doesn't believe in softer reeds for beginners so I'm trying to do this with a 2.5!

He's quite right, you don't blow a clarinet, you breathe down it! smile.gif

Interesting that he's started you on a 2.5 strength reed. I tend to start pupils on 2s, occasionally 1.5s.

There's a fine line between breathing and blowing though isn't there?
Especially when someone keeps telling you not to blow.... dry.gif

Very true....

The way I've always described it is that it's not unlike breathing on a mirror to mist it up, but with air that's perhaps not quite so warm as that. (however, it's still fairly warm).

Far, far easier to demonstrate than describe. No wonder my clarinet gets so much exercise!

Though he does seem to think that pianists only have to think about one finger at a time.....
Made a comment about how every note is a 9 finger decision and suggested that on piano it's not. I have to know where all my fingers are and where they need to be a few beats (or even bars) ahead.

Got a huge shock in my emails this evening. Turns out my music teacher thought I did REALLY well in my recital on Saturday ..... ph34r.gif

That comment is true in my opinion too.

When I play piano, I'm sure I'm thinking about more than one finger at a time though (and you are a lot better at playing the piano than I am sbhoa.)

IL, well done! smile.gif

Well, as I'm abandoned for tonight (and the cafe has gone quiet too) I might go and watch a dvd.
