Fun and clever …
Just a little FYI for you all (because a student and I just had a bit of a laugh about this):
Question: Did you eat the last cookie?
Answer: Maybe.
In this instance the answer means yes.
Question: Did you practice that?
Answer: Maybe.
In this instance the answer means no.
That is all. You are welcome.
Beethoven Violin Concerto, last movement. Sort of. The video is just a snippet from the movie “La Belle Verte”. This particular YouTube video is overdubbed in Russian. The actual movie is in French.
If you want to see even more (and hear it in French with English subtitles) there’s this:
I’m interested in music, but not the music theory, but you don’t have to think to play arpeggios. You want to play a violin, you have only one solution, to play in the conservatory you need to have a power. Power, Power. Power!
A short bit of the synopsis: As part of an intergalactic coalition, a well-meaning space alien volunteers to bring a message of self-actualization and harmony with nature to the one planet rejected by all her peers as incorrigible — Earth.
We aren’t doing Rite this week … it’s Petrushka for Symphony Silicon Valley … but I wish I owned this shirt — I’d wear it to work. (Well, maybe. These days I rarely wear t-shirts.)
You can purchase yours here.
Enjoy! (And thanks to Bob Hubbard for this one!)
Yes … plural.
Very fun. (It appears La Api is easier to do this with than Mozart!)
I guess I’m in a Bill Douglas mood right now …
Here’s the info given:
Bill Douglas and the Boulder Bassoon Band plays Bill’s composition ‘Banana’, framed by Sonny Rollin’s ‘St. Thomas’, in a 1985 concert. Near the end, the band performs Bill’s ‘Vocal Rhythm Etude #5′ (formerly known as ‘Rock Etude #17′). The other members of the band are John Steinmetz, Dan Young, Bruce Orr, Jim Cochrane, Steve Braunstein, and Geoff Johns (percussion).
Well, mostly you just save up some money and rent a hall, or you go with your high school group, but this is pretty funny. ;-)
Pokemon … gee, I haven’t thought of Pokemon for ages.
(Thanks, dk!)
Just havin’ fun …
Megan will play, but only when she’s being bossed around a lot:
This dog mostly nose what he’s doing, but he ends a little on the sleepy side.
This one doesn’t bother to memorize, but we’ll forgive him, I think!:
This guy’s technique is rather messy, but he did dress for the occasion, so he gets a bit of credit for that!
But sorry, I’m just NOT buying this one. Really now ….
What fun!
I’d post this photo on the blog, but I’m not sure it’s legal. So you’ll just have to click on that link! I LOVE this!
Brought to my attention by Brian Sacawa via Twitter (he’s @briansacawa there). Yes. There ARE a lot of good things about Twitter! :-)
