Welcome to Gaia! ::

mines painful... it's a piece of metal with about a nanometer of cork on it

Where is it? I could use the help with sight reading. (I can barely sight read quarter notes! Well, the last time I checked, at least.)

I have a callus on my right thumb from my thumb rest.

Music update: I got the sheet music online for the song of healing. I figured out the sort of a love song last night, and I started doing zelda's theme, but I had to quit because it was getting late.

I'll be sure to check it out. (the website I mean, not the callus on your foot xd )

ungh, I'm so tired and it's only 5:40 pm...

XD! its 10: 57 here o_o;

LOL!! yes lets go check out the callus smile

ooh this song sounds so familiar...10:57 am or pm?

I found this really awesome music website, http://www.pandora.com/
you get to customize your own radio station by typing in a song that you like and it will play other songs like it. You can sign up for free and have up to 100 stations. I've been listening to it for about 3 hours.

Woah, college makes me feel old. Er, you guys don't need to download sheet music if you have the midi, just get the trial version of noteworthy composer and open it in that, then you can even edit the parts if you want. Anyways... I usually just use the thumbrest thats standard for the R-13's I have, but I have tried the soft rubber ones, although they change my hand position cuz of their thickness. My teacher always uses surgical tubing. I love my new A clarinet, it tunes SO much better than my Bb. It's a little annoying though that my high E won't speak unless I have the little finger down. Double high C also responds a little muddier, but it speaks nonetheless. I warm up everyday on the A then switch over to the Bb to play Weber's first concerto opening and the Copeland clarinet concerto. Anyone need any professional help or advice? My forum kinda died, so I'll try helping out around here. Wordbump is addicting, and I can only get up to 82 :c

Just search for noteworhty composer... I bought it later

gasp noteworthy composer! I used to be obssessed with that XDDDDDD

btw...this is miyoko clarinetti rolleyes my account got hacked ~_~

nyahahha choco is getting old xd YESSS!!!!

flaming ninja-you can make your own radio station!??????

in other news.......

my teacher didn't come yesterday crying he's coming this friday...grr...now he'll expect mozart to be in time gonk gonk oh well...I WILL get it in time!!! so i can play his A clarinet!!!!!!!!!!!

my tones been getting better thanks to long tones whee my low E is really intune now [most of the time] when i do my long tones, when i do every other one piano, some notes are slightly out of tune--mainly because of my embouchure sweatdrop

Heh... I'm lucky to have instruments that tune well naturally, so I only have to get used to the slight intonation problems in the altissimo and throat tones. The clarino and chalumeau registers should be in tune most of the time if you have a good enough horn. I'm working on the intro to Weber's Concerto #1 for college auditions. So does this mean your parents have unkicked you out of band? haha
