Yep. It was! But I was sooo tired for the rest of the evening. XD
😀
Not with her, I wouldn’t. She was literally jumping up and down with excitement when I gave her a taste of it, and when I told her yesterday I’d like to teach her, she was so excited. 😀 She asks good questions and has been very insightful just from that one…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy So sorry (again), I didn’t see this (again)! XD
I have my first gig with the Fiddlers on Saturday, and I’m sooooooo excited! We had a rehearsal on Monday, even though orchestra hasn’t started yet officially (that’ll be next Monday, so yay!). 😀
Yeah. Too bad for them. 😛
It was! My grandparents came over that afternoon and we…[Read more]

It’s not too bad, I think it’s just that I’m joining after a while, and some of the regulars have already established their “routine” so to speak and know what they’re doing more. 😉 But yes, we have fiddle music books. I own two of them, but I also borrowed the conductor’s and been practising during the holidays, so hopefully I’ll…[Read more]

Yeah, especially when your mum looks at you while watching TV after dinner at like 8pm and says “Can we make Nutella brownies?” XD
Well, that’s a good question. XD I’ve been in the junior orchestra almost as long as I’ve been playing violin. And it has helped me in playing in a group setting and about reading music and such. And…[Read more]

Yees XD The Nutella brownies are very easy: three eggs, beaten until frothy; one cup of Nutella, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; bake in a loaf pan for about 40 (or however long it’ll take in your oven) and leave to cool completely before slicing. And yes, the cheese cake has eggs, cream cheese, and…[Read more]

Ah, my bad maths skills is what happened. XDXD
Yees, it’ll be fun. 😀 And we’re going to make pinwheels (bacon, onion, grated carrot and zucchini and cheese rolled in puff pastry, sliced up and baked) and Nutella brownies (so yummy) to eat, and possibly this three-ingredient chocolate cheese cake I found which is really nice, for…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy XD 😛
Oh, well, happy birthday, then! 😀 Lol, nope, the 19th. XD I know what happened; timezones. 😛 I’m a day ahead of you, and you probably saw that message the day I sent it, which would have been a day behind for you (confused yet? Good). XD
That sounds like it was lovely. 🙂 On my birthday we’re going to my grandparents’ for…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Good thing you did that; I only got emails for the “Sorry” and I was wondering “what’s she gone and done?” XD
Yeh, dat’s a good question. 😛
So, what are you going to do for your birthday? 😀 From what you said I’m guessing it’s the 20th? That’s the day after mine.
-
HA! Eh dear. XD XD XD
Huh, it’s actually the eleventh! But I’d calculated yours as the 18th. Not sure what happened. 😛 Anyway, it was nice and quiet. Had a favorite breakfast, meal and dessert (one of the best b-day traditions ;P), and received various lovely gifts from my family. And then the majority of the people went running errands later…[Read more]

Thank youu! And ACTUALLY, I thought that’s what might have happened in that case. I knew you were one day ahead and I thought I’d calculated that, but I guess not. XD I’m not sure how mine got 9 days off though! XD
Oooh that sounds absolutely lovely too. 😀 And breakfast for dinner is great.

Ohh Ah see. xD
OH YUM. O.o Those all sound delish. Especially Nutella brownies. Tea party food is awesome!
(What are the three ingredients? Cream cheese, eggs, and melted chocolate bar or chips?)Oh and also, we’re able to do orchestra this semester. 😀 We’re just doing the one main group this time though. First practice was last night.

Ooh, fun! But I see the dilemma. D’you think junior orchestra or the fiddle group would be more beneficial/growing?

Heheh. XD
Well that all makes sense. I’m glad you get to do the fiddle group! It almost sounds too fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants for me. XD I’m not great at improvising with anything, unless I’ve had time to plan it beforehand. XD Do they use sheet music though? That might be a little less scary.

You’re fine. XD XDSweeeet! So that was yesterday for you, right? Was it funnn?
Quite. XD
Awesome! 😀
Hey, that’s neat! Would you feel odd, teaching someone much older than you? I don’t know if I would or not… I think it’d depend on the personality. 😛 It’s great that she’s already got the passion and musical-ness, ’cause I…[Read more]

Yeah.
Actually, three times! 😀 One of them lives in a different timezone than the other two so hers was an hour after. XD

Good, I’m glad! That’s great. Meh, I’m probably more on the ambivalent side…. def. wouldn’t say excited.

Which is probably not the best view to take. -_- There are a several things I have in mind for this year, but I’m not…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy That sounds really fun. 😀
Orchestra is over for me now. 🙁 Tonight is the party the conductor is having at her house, but I’m not going to go, except to maybe drop in and give my stand partner a thank you present (she brings me home every week).

Yeas. XD

Today Elizabeth and I went and played an informal concert thing at a local library, with a cellist/jack-of-all-strings from the orchestra and several of his students. It was mostly Christmas carols, and pretty informal, but it was fun.

I am a second violinist. 😉 You mean the bit with all the semi quavers going up and up? In our score they’re all accidentals, but it would be six sharps if put as a key signature 😛 My teacher’s helped me with that and says play each group of three with the third, second and first finger so it’s always 3, 2, 1. It means a lot of…[Read more]

Which movement of St. Pauls’ Suite did you say you’ve played? My orchestra has been playing the first movement (the Jig, I think it’s called), and that’s pretty challenging, but lots of fun (though my stand partner doesn’t like it XD).
-
Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 5 years, 11 months ago
Yeah, it’s pretty fun. I check the emails and print music and bind scores for her and she and I send out the emails and organise repertoire and things like that.
Yeah, it’s really fun.
Yes, they are! We have a friend who doesn’t know how to read music very well, but he plays the piano amazingly.
