honor band practice yesterday was fun...... i know one song were playing...... so i can play it.
i cant read the music very well ( well almost none of it) its hard to play. so im gonna practice alot!

now im listening to "river flows in you"
its an extremely beautiful song on the piano. im in love with it.
i wanna learn it so badly.
i have the sheet music. bad thing is i cant read it, and im bout to give up on learning it.
i guess i will go back to just trying to play by ear.
only problem with that, is it takes a while to get a song like this down. and i might not play it how its suppose to sound, cause i tend to add my own part when i play.
urghhh. its so stuck in my head. i wanna learn it real real real bad!

thats waht happens to me when i play piano, i find a song i wanna learn but its kinda hard and i learn a lil then i give up, but eventually i will try it again and hopefully get it down, but theres nothing wrong with improvising with the music, its making it more unique than it already is, who knows it might turn out to be great!

hehe yeah. i only give up when i see the actual sheet music. it looks way to hard, and hurt my head.
i like listening and watching ppl play. a thousand times easier for me.
its like riding a bike. sometimes the ride can be bumpy. but i can totally ride it.
same with me and listening. sometimes i hit a rough spot. but i over come it and can get the music down. its not hard to train your ears to do that.
thats why im good with listening to ppl play a pitch and i can tell instantly if its flat or sharp. thats why sometimes the clarinets have it tuned right away. i rarely look at a tuner.
only when i want the pitch perfect i look at the tuner.
so kari and judith ask me what their pitch is.
i like to play a game in band, when you guys tune up. before ms. T tells what you guys are, i try to guess. 90% of the time im right.
