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!
