BUMMER!

Okay, i know you all are sick and tired of hearing about my student but I PROMISE that this will be the last one about her. Why can i promise so asuredly (sp???? ha ha!)??? because she QUIT!!! Yes, after a single MONTH of playing she QUIT! Her mother paid over $100 to get the equipment necisary to start, and after only a MONTH she threw it all out the window!! I am sure that those of you who now Ms. Isabella (not lazalde!) can understand alot of this. she said that she was quitting because it didnt "fit her" and that it wasn't "for her!" Well so anyway i thought yall would want to know this!!! so now i desperately want another student...DESPERATELY!!! I love it! So there goes my extra summer job out the window, that means im stuck scrubbing toilets and floors at a dental office for a living! BUMMER!!!!! if any of you know of anyone who needs a violin teacher, i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be their teacher!

BREAKING NEWS!!!

I am SURE that all of you guys could care less, but this is HUGE news!!!! As i am sure you can all imagine the repulsive sound of a new, squeaky violin student. I was one once too! But, as if there wasnt anything worse than the sound of a violinist playing on their bridge by accident, making a high pitched, scrachy, squeak, or the lovely honor of your student wanting to be just like you and pushing the bow down as hard as they can, making any starting note sound grinding and nauseating, nothing is as bad as those blasted twinkles!!! the very first song a young musician learns is twinkle little star, which is horrible enough, but along with the theme, there is 5 (yes 5) variations! so for the entire month of june i was privlaged to teach the repulsive string of repetitive variations. dont get me wrong, i LOVE teaching and want VERY badly to have MANY more studesnts, but the twinkles i just cant say the are enjoyable! But back to my point! yesterday we GOT TO PASS OFF THE TWINKLES!!! it was SOOOOO worth the popcicle i gave the girl!!! YAY!! we are making much progress, and she seems to be extremely talented!!!!!!!!! so now that you have wasted time reading this pointless blog entry about extremely important violin milestones, i am sure that you are thinking, "wow does she even have a life outside of violin, her last 3 post have all been about fiddle and such." i can comfirm that i do have a life, as lame as it may be, and i do not only think about violin!
