Fuck Spiccato...

I'm thinking maybe I should post more often. But then, I figure no one reads this anyway, so what's the use?

UGH! My flute is out of tune again. Remember that key with the leak that made this reeeaally sharp Bb? Yeah, it's back. Son of a bitch. So I gotta send it back. Hurrah. On a better note (haha, note), I rented a saxophone! I'm actually not bad at it, even though it's really similar to the flute. I'll be playing most of next semester's music class with it. AWESOME.

Oh yeah, I started the coop education program with my music teacher. Not bad, I'm working with the 9th graders (what a bunch of chatter bugs) and the 11th graders (OHMYGOD FUCKIN CHATTER ELEPHANTS).

K did I tell you about that song that I'm playing on the violin, "Csardas" by Monti? If you don't know it, look it up. So I can play the whole song, but I can't seem to master the spiccato bowing. Like, I just literally can't do it. I've been trying for months and I don't get it. How the hell do you make your bow bounce? I can play just one note, but then I have to play a bunch of them one after the other, I just can't. GAH, I'm using this song for my audition to Mount Allison University! If I can't get it by March, I am s-c-r-e-w-e-d.

Mastered "Samson" by Regina Spektor on the piano. Pretty easy stuff, but it's so nice :)

Grad pics are Monday. I'm thinking one pic with the gown, one with the music guys (Derick, Jimmy, Patrice, Matt, Louis), one with all my instruments (piano, violin, sax, flute) and one with my violin. Kinda stressed though but don't know why. Not sure what to do with my hair either, but that has nothing to do with music.

G'night!

I wanna know ... do you play any instruments?
