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
