culture day at school





Today I taught my elementary school classes, 3rd and 4th year students. I brought my cello today, it's been getting a little dusty, so I thought it would be good to have the students see and hear a real cello up close.
They all had a chance to play it for a little bit for those who wanted to, and even those who were shy at first got a turn.
I taught them about the bow, the horsehair, rosin, the cello, the donut so the cello won't slide around when you play.

I find it really amazing that there are so few violin, viola players and cello players up in this neck of the woods.

Music is so wonderful as a hobby and I thank my parents constantly for giving my such a gift when I was young. You can bet at that time I wanted to play outside and not worry about the cello, and I'm sure kids haven't changed these days. Now I barely get enough time to practice and if I do, its only for the orchestra. Oh well, once this MA is over, I'll get a chance to go out and give a few concerts here and there.

Thanks mom and dad.

Jeez,

the weather is smashing today in San Francisco and I'm feeling happy that I found this site tbl-forum.blogspot.com. I do hope that my thread in this category "this" is good. If not, please delay it to the right place.

Anyways, since years I'm thinking about ways how to make money. Many ways I've tried by now. Unfortunately has really worked so far. Now I got a website which provides 5000 Dollar for signing. I was struggling with myself whether I should tell you about this. Anyway, I have no advantage by keeping the idea a secret. So I keep my promise to write a little about making cash in the internet. You just have to click the banner and sign up. Then they credit you the cash. Isn't it crazy what the gambling branch does to attract new clients. The trick is that you don't have to gamble to make the money. Do you like it?

All the best
