What I Learned in January
- At the piano I learned the middle movement of a Beethoven Sonata.
- I have been working on the Sarabande from Bach’s G Major Suite for Cello (obviously, on the cello!) but I’m not finished learning it yet.
- I learned that when the temperature rises wind instruments go sharp, BUT string instruments go flat. I had no idea. Or maybe someone once told me this but I forgot. Regardless, I was surprised!
- I have been reminded many times this month how much I really enjoy teaching music. I really love my job.
- If you tell a kidlet not to use your kitchen paring knives to carve Harry Potter wands out of sticks, they might decide to use your carrot peeler instead. Sigh.
- I learned the university library closes at 5:00 on Friday, when I thought for some reason that they closed at 9:00. Oops. Hello overdue fines. At one time in my life I would have been horrified that I was so irresponsible as to have overdue books. At this stage in life I’m happy to support my excellent library and do my best to get things back to the circulation desk on time.
