I haven’t posted in a while (school is just busy)  but i figured i’d have a random update.

Cello’s going good.  I took my tapes off.  I’m starting to get a callous.  It’s bugging me. 

I went to the symphony last night.  We were in the nosebleed section.  And I’m not lying.  We were the 2nd to last row.  But our tickets were 5 dollars.  There was a cellist there and since I play cello I thought that was cool.  They did an amazing job.  One of my friends at church was on the front row.  She plays cello in the youth philaharmonic orchestra.  I think next year I might try out.  My friends who have been in it say that it’s fun.  But saxophone isn’t an orchestra instrument.  They had a harp at the orchestra.  I would love to play the harp.  I played it when I was at Zoe’s house.  I loved it!  Some day I think I want to get a harp like Zoe’s.  When I go to her house I’m going to spend a lot of time on her harp.  (I hope you don’t mind Zoe)  I just love harps.  They are amazing and beautiful.  Piano is also really cool.  That is my 1st instrument.  There are benifits to learning piano and they are…..

  • They are amazing instruments.
  • You can do cool solos.
  • You can accompany other people.
  • You learn 2 clefs so if you chose a different instrument you know don’t have to learn a different clef (unless you switch to viola or an instrument that plays in alto or tenor clef.  I have to learn tenor clef but not quite yet)
  • You can do a lot with piano.
  • You can find a lot of piano music.  Some instruments aren’t as poplular so it’s harder to find music too.  Especially music that you like. 

Pretty much I love piano.  But I love the alto saxophone.  I don’t care much for tenor sax or baritone sax.  Soprano sax is cool.  I wish I had one or the school had one because I would play it.  But alto’s pretty much my saxophone and i wouldn’t permanantly switch.  Cello is also amazing.  I love the sound of it.  It’s not too high like violins, it’s not (always) in a weird clef like the viola and it’s not really low and big like the stringbass.  So that is my preference with strings.  And I think it’s a prettiest.  (sorry if i offend other string players) 

I love the musical Les Miserables!  It has great music.  I just love it.  I also like the storyline.  Ok I haven’t seen the musical or read the book.  But I have heard some of the music and I watched a movie.  I really want to read the book.  I might get that for Christmas.  I asked my mom. 

Ok…So I LOVE Christmas!  I have been waiting for Christmas since….January.  I was listening to Christmas music the other day.  I was playing Christmas music on my cello and piano.  But it’s just amazing.  The reasons I love Christmas are…

  • I get to see my family.
  • The music
  • Decorating Christmas trees
  • Christmas movies
  • 2 weeks off of school
  • and Christmas Eve

Well there is just some random stuff.  I hope I didn’t bore anyone to death.  And if I did I’m sorry it’s actually your fault for reading the whole thing.  Just saying.  Well I’ll try to post later 

Merry Christmas

Hello I am Calsie Rael Azvsana.  I am nearly a sophomore in high school.  I just have a little bit left.  I am in the band in school.  I play the alto saxophone in the band and I made state in the sax quartet my freshman year (this year) so that was exciting.  I also play piano.  I have since like 1st grade and I love it.  I am planning on learning clarinet this summer and someday I want to learn how to play the cello.  I use to take violin lessons but I didn’t really like it.  Well I just needed something to say and there it is.  So I’ll say something else later.
