Music Lessons and Answering Questions

Today was a music lesson kind of day. A good day.

BigB had her second real voice lesson, and in my untrained unknowing ear, I heard something. A change. There is something to the saying "sing like nobody is listening". When B sings in the shower, she forgets anyone else can hear. Her voice is full, and rich, and there is some power to it. I heard some of that today in the lesson. I'm not sure if it's 'right', but I like it.

MOjo had her first flute lesson today. I think she was a little overwhelmed. She was probably given more to accomplish in one week than she accomplished in band all of last year. This is a real test for her.

In both lessons, the girls were asked questions. Questions that I had to BITE MY TONGUE not to answer for them. GRRR. Questions I thought they should have been able to answer without thinking. There were loooonnngggg pauses. ARGH!

  1. Don't worry about the questions. We all have to learn how to deal with questions that we just want to drop our jaws and go, "uhhhhhhh" at. Dr. H is a SERIOUS question asker. Seriously, he asks some tough ones. Dr. Singalot is forgiving:)

    What kind of questions?

  2. Easy questions, like:
    "How much did you practice?"
    "How many beats does an eighth note get?"
    "Are you wearing pants today?"

  3. I have learned to anticipate the "Practice" question, and have it ready ahead of time. :)
