Violin goes pop?

Sometimes, every single day are mostly like the same and it's really meaningless. Nothing for me to write about, talk about and think about. Anyway, i don't want a blank blog so i must find something new, interesting, even though i can't find any.

The school open day was over, and it was entirely the same as last year, yuk! The only thing was not the same is, i joined them. Well actually i should say, i became a sucker! a loser! The school orchestra now is worse than ever! i can't believe that we had just played two pieces for the long long day; one was the Symphonie No.5, man, we had already performed that last year.




You know what? That was Saturday and i went back school at 9:45, on the way, i saw another king's student crashed by a car; i didn't see the whole thingy, just heard a hard braking sound and a lying boy. The teachers ran there quickly and i went back to school soon. 45 minutes later, the shows started and surprisingly, the place we were going to play, was our school playground; With a big friendly sun, wearing a pair of long black trousers really felt warm~ it was hot!

Enough about that! Let's come back to the topic- violin. As you know, i am a old-fashioned boy, with some old-fashioned classical music. Last music lesson, after hearing the creative edition of JS Bach by King Singer, there was another edition of making classical into popular one. My first impression is not quite good, though. It crushed the classical style, and replaced by modern one.


It wasn't so bad after all; Different period has different style. In addition, after that lesson, i changed my mind that not only classical music or original is the best, but some of the new things are also creative, energetic.

After the test

What a busy week! Finally, i've just finished the uniform test and be able to take a rest. Once again i can get the mostly same result as last year, with only half day preparing one subject. Somehow i don't wanna go on like this, and a huge pressure making me to work. Since i have just lost the game with Max, the Kumon is going to have another student, giving $550 each month. Although no tutor would teach you the school works, they'll give you 100 pieces of Math practise to do within a week. I will surely improve very much but it takes me lots of time, according to the example to the one who win the game. So children, gambling is bad, gambling waste money, gambling makes human suffer, like doing Kumon. Just take a look to the logo below, see the boy face? The actual meaning of the boy face is, when you've finished all the Kumon's exercises, you will become the boy.



I've just finished the Lalo 1st, and i'm going to post my recording to here too, no matter it may sounds bad or not, just try my best. I went to the violin shop before, i bought the new E-string, meanwhile, i bought a new set of strings; the shop keeper said it sounds quite concentrate. I changed the G,D,A by my own and listened to the difference; it is a hard string! The concentrated sound is course by the hardness of the strings, i think. Anyway, it really sounds different now and i like this more. The name of the strings are called " Infeld ".
