embouchure. I've done it a few times accidentally -
experimenting with trying to get a 'pure' tone.

...and what was some of your favourite
music?

Orchestra - a large body of
instrumentalists. Yes! A band is an orchestra. However, I'm referring to the
orchestra in the 'Baroque/Classic/Romantic sense. You know, strings, woodwind
etc. So, what has been some of your favourite music you've played in your
orchestra?

What are, or have been some of your favourite pieces
you play with your orchestra?

oooh, another question. Middle school Over here we have primary school - grades 1 through to grade 6 (although Queensland and Western Australia go to year 7) What we call "High" School is year 7,8,9,10,11,12. You're allowed to leave school in year 10. You get your "School Certificate" (different sta...

Who are they run by? How do you qualify? How seriously is it taken? Do you receive a certificate, or some other award (money, scholarship). Do you use the word 'eisteddfod' in the States? Would it be the same thing? Do you have 'exams' in the states? For instance we have the Australian Music Examina...

What''s all county, all district, all state? I assume it''s a
competition based on region? Any other information you could give? (Australia
doesn''t have these competitions/eisteddfords/concerts/????)

Yep. Was at the time. Teaching myself (I'm a piano/keyboard/singing teacher) You know it's not the quantity of time, it's the quality[;)] Once I know more than four notes I may even increase the time to four or five minutes at a time[:praise:] [:devil:] Okay, my delivery might be a bit cheeky, but i...

Good on you MaKayla! [:praise:]

I just went to the link above and heard it. I love Debussy.
I play quite a few of his piano works. Knowing the mythological story helped
visualise the piece. Has anyone ever played it with string or piano
accompaniment?

Thanks everyone. Another question, who wrote it and when?
(Okay, so that's 2 questions....)

Good on you Kendall, that's wonderful that you want to help your sister play. I say go for it! Rhythm games are wonderful, your tambourine game sounds great. Keep it up. Include clapping games, and don't forget to sing songs - very important for this age group, and also develops pitch and builds up ...

The relative minor mmmm. The main 'sound' difference between C major and A minor will be the G sharp instead of the G. For a more dramatic differnce, try using the tonic relative i.e go from C major to C minor. That way you can play a similar melody but instead of playing E, you now play Eflat. Inst...

I've been to other forums and I have to say, yours is one
of the nicest layouts. It's very well organised, very attractive and very easy
to read. I like the simplicity of it. It looks fresh and easy to follow. Nice
colour choices. Well done[:)]
