And then these people are confused that they're getting Ds and Fs on the tests.
This isn't a required course (4 semesters of a language are required for humanities majors, but there's "easier" options like Spanish or French), so I don't know why someone wouldn't at least pretend to care, considering they chose to take that class.
Simple?! The Beatles' music revolved mostly around the themes love & peace and that is what have made them icons, that's what made them legends in music industry. And that explains their universal appeal.Quote:

In my case I need more complex elements :D :lol:Quote:

Agreed, I have no idea what I'm talking about. :iagree:Quote:

What like having to get to a stupid high G in the soundtrack to Oliver in our school production from a low G? Then back to the low G afterwards.Quote:

I can get up to a high B-flat if I squeek it out. Couldn't do it in a song. I can get to a low, well, lower than the one before middle C, B-flat. In a song I can get to a low F. Of course, on horn, seeing as I don't have the mental capacity to translate all of that at this time in the morning, my B-flat is an F. Two things I should do:
- Go and get an AMEB exam like my teacher encourages. She wants me to skip 1, 2 and 3 and just go straight for AMEB 4. I'm sure I could do it, if I practise the songs enough. However I doubt I'll be very good at the sight reading part if it is in anything other than 4/4, 2/4,or 3/4. I've got practically no sense of rhythm, so even something as simple as 4/4 with a heap of dotted crotchets, quavers, dotted quavers and semi-quavers will be absolutely hopeless.
- I should practise. I've got the whole school holidays and rarther than sleep, I should get some physical activity. Oddly enough, French Horn is incredibly strenuous physical activity, especially if I have to squeak out some high notes.
Yea. That's my life story.
Utterly true.Quote:

Supposedly, the pitching is really difficult. It is, but that isn't my problem, I'm pretty good when it comes to sound production. I can hold a nice firm note as well, it sounds beautiful.Quote:

The pitching on the trumpet is bothering me, however I don't really do lessons or anything, I just play a note or two when my brother takes it out. It is easier than horn.
I'd like to learn the guitar first anyway.
If I'm really nice to some of the RE kids they might teach me.
Do I leave the deer head or not?
