*When the plum tree blossoms*

I have learnt alot over these past few weeks.-> Stress can be good and bad, along with pressure.-> Music is free. Don't ever let anything limit the liberty of music.-> Change is okay. It's inevitable, so you have to learn to accept it.-> Some friends... are just never meant to be friends.-> Other friends will always be more than merely 'friends'-> Not all your friends will like...

A Moon that silently sings + Cow time + My insecurity + confusion + Loving guys who play piano + Revision = a very distraught and out of controll Nanc

What a way to start off the term!And where to begin??The Moon is Silently SingingIs currently our study for Music Works in School.Composed and arranged by New Zealand's very own David Hamilton, it was a gift for Mark Dunford's 21st birthday. -Wow! A song for a present!! I want one! xD-Yeah, anyway. Inspired by a spanish poem written by Miguel De Unamuno.Hamilton really is a genius. I know only a...

Five Horrible Reasons for Being "Happy." ??

Case StudyI've liked this guy for a while. But I don't want to go out with him- it's got nothing to do with him personally. He's wonderful. I just really feel that it wouldn't be fair to him if I said yes, and then never saw him because I'm barely allowed out.He had a girlfriend, I thought she was really nice but it turns out she... Idk. I barely know her, and you can't just judge someone on one...

Compositional Names/ideas/whatever.

I really don't expect anyone to answer this, but I'm really really desperate now. Okay so I have a composition due by the end of these holidays. Level 1 NCEA music. Grr.I don't even have a criteria to follow. All I know that it needs to have structure [which it does,] It needs to have contrast and development.So: the thing I wrote is based on pentatonic scale. So it's all asiany and oriental. I...

Help!! An aspect of teenage romance/love please?

My other piece is KINDA flowing now.. I've figured out some good transition things so yeah.I just had a sudden urge to write my word setting today. I was playing around on the piano when I came up with a really sweet intro, melody and chorus.I really really really want to, make this a duet. only the lyrics I write usually seem like it's for solo.Love is way too broad for a topic.. and I've been...

It no longer flows.

One word: Composition.Usually I'm pretty good at it.Note how I said "composition" not Songwriting.Composition is a general thing... but yeah.. Songwriting= lyrics. i'm not up to that yet. When I finish my annoying pentantonic on black keys for solo piano, I will start writing the word setting.My original idea was to have it on pentatonic scales because I wanted to write something traditional.So I...

Where has all the inspiration gone?

Right so today is Friday, and school starts again on Monday. So I have a total of 3 days (including today) to get this stupid music assignment done and off my chest.Now I did do a little bit today.. like um... 4 bars. but that's still something!The first part of the assignment was to write an essay explaining how Haydn uses the elements of music to create surprise in his 2nd movement of symphony...

My fingers hurt. For once.

Yeah, so i'm in a really really good mood for once :) which is good.As you all know I'm a piano freak, but compared to all the other pianists at my school I'm kinda average now. It took me ages to kinda 'accept' the fact that I went from #1 to #.. whatever.So yeah, last year was all ups and downs on that topic.But... I didn't give up! so obviously some ups overruled the downs =]This year I'm...

Feeling Better.

Um.. this is probably a question you get asked quite often..I strongly dislike this year.It almost feels like... nothing I've learnt in the last few years have counted. Like.... all that hard work, all those excellences and distinctions and extra cirriculars were all for nothing.But I refuse to believe that, cuz Nothing really goes to waste in this world. In the knowledge factor I...

This is a nerd post.

UHgh I'm freaking out about stupid NCEA.it's been 6 weeks? and I haven't gotten a single excellence this year!! What is wrong with me...?I have broken my 3 year Math with excellence record. uhgh!I mean merit's okay.. and it didn't really count because it wasn't an NCEA thing... but on my report for the first time ever it's going to say 'merit'This sounds more nerdier than I intended.... lolPeople...

You think I have a crush on you? Dream on, no offence.

This isn't something about to be filled with the 'oh my gosh i'm in love' kind of thing, don't worry lol.I just really needed to say that I am SO over the whole thing.I fail to see the point in bfs and gfs right now. But this doesn't mean that I'm against ittt!!!If I see people together, I WILL go 'awwww that's so sweet' because it is! So if we turn this around.. I guess what i'm saying is that,...

How am I supposed to Please my parents AND enjoy myself??

I've always been a good little girl, listening to what mummy and daddy say. I've always gotten good grades at school, I can't remember the last time I failed a subject, if I ever did.I've always made nice friends you know, I've never shoplifted, never done drugs you know. That kind. Complete goody good two shoes.But sometimes I wonder if it's a bad thing?If I wasn't SO good all the time, then...

Any career ideas?

I know many of you have already heard this, but I don't know, if it's just me or whatever, but I really honestly have no idea what i'm going to be when i'm older.I guess it just depends on what you've done in your life so far, I mean if you've always had, and still have a thing for writing, then you could be something to do with that right? for instance, an author/poet, a reporter, a journalist....
