I don't understand people. In my Russian class, I have one of the best grades just because I take the time to do the homework, which is 25% of our grade. Class attendance is required, so the professor obviously knows who has and who has not done the homework, and most people don't do it. 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.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
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.
Now if their music is too simple for your tastes, I guess you could enjoy music that you could put a complex element into like, say, (your favorites) Black Eyed Peas' I'ma Be or Fergalicious. Well, enjoy.

In my case I need more complex elementsUmm... Yes.At least to like it a little...
I succeed often too, but not exactly in what I really wantSerious?
Aw. I like trying. 9.9 out of 10 times I succeed.
Ah, I get itThanks for the tip
I know about this. At secondary school I had an optional German class to which no one ever paid attention, but they all seemed to be willing to show off a German course certificate... when they couldn't even utter a decent German phrase with relative linguistic decency
My goodness, modern regional English again!Now seriously, Heathcliff said a few posts back that she kept listening to it only because it's groovy, though she couldn't find many legitimate words on it
I guess I'm just fussy. I suppose it is a matter of opinion anyway.
Still, I'm stuck in a world where songs need to have at least two counter melodies, a ridiculously strong bass line and a French Horn solo.
Yay! BEP!
Agreed, I have no idea what I'm talking about.My goodness, modern regional English again!
For I have known them all already, known them all:

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall

Doesn't make sense does it? By the end of the class last year in Spanish only about 4/20 people were doing homework and this is knowing the professor would call on people in class to answer the homework questions..

Ah, I have the remedy. All you need is a bunch of higher notes in your head
It stinks when a good guy makes one too many mistakes.

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.Ah, I have the remedy. All you need is a bunch of higher notes in your head
I can hardly make a high G in a song, and I definitely need a build up and a super sharp set of valves. I know over time it'll get easier to do, despite that I'm yet to achieve it. 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.
An expert musician has talked. These 2 guys will offer a concert for you:
I know. I've been reading some technical notes on horns and they say it's a hard instrument... hmmm... good for you for facing it
This is a powerful tone
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Its hard. I know that it is possible, although I've only been at it for a few years. If I practise a lot I'll get. They don't expect me to be perfect at it.An expert musician has talked. These 2 guys will offer a concert for you:
It is going to be hard though, seeing as most of it is in 6/8, which I am so bad at...
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.I know.

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.
