Music

I have always loved music. Whether I'm playing the piano, violin, or singing, I love it. I don't get as much of a chance anymore because of schoolwork and work and other things that manage to pop up, but so far I have managed to always fit Symphony into my schedule. That's one thing that is really important to me. I've decided that I want to try and fit a more regular practice routine into my daily life. This is one song that I really liked while I was learning it, but I switched teachers in the middle and my 2nd teacher didn't think much of this piece. Or at least the way I played it. I think I'm going to try and relearn it, and finish it. Wish me luck!

Opera

I have almost always had a great love of music, specifically opera. I think it's one of those things that a lot of people don't really appreciate. A lot of people just make fun of it and make some sort of joke about it, but don't take time to really listen to the beauty of it. I will admit, I don't like all opera. Some styles just don't mesh well with me. I do have a favorite singer. Luciano Pavarotti. I think that he was amazing. Here is a video of him singing the song that Paul Potts used in Britian's Got Talent. My favorite part is at the end of this video when he smiles. I think it shows his love of the music.

I Have a Dream

I have a dream
That one day I can be
as awesome and amazing
as my sister Lisa.

Lisa is the coolest person ever.
She is so pretty and skinny.
I try not to be jealous of her,
but I can't help it.

I think I shall build
a sculpture in her honor,
and put flowers all around it.
Lisa is so awesome
so awesome
so awesome

Halloween Concert

Last night we finished off the Halloween Concerts. Six concerts in three days can be exhausting, but I had a lot of fun. I always enjoy playing in concerts and being apart of something great. I don't have pictures of my costume yet, but I do have one of someone else's costume. This is my buddy Adam. I happened to run into him at McDonald's last night and he wanted to get a picture with me. It was an...interesting experience. But it made me laugh! p.s. Don't mind the fact that I look gross. I had just finished up with the concert and didn't have time to get cute again.
