♥ The office ♥/First Post Facts (FPF)

While at our regular piano lesson, we always get side tracked with the greatest show ever called The Office. When we were talking about it I remembered that I had sheet music for the theme of the office and I hatched a plan. The next week I brought it in as I BIG  surprise, but of course i hadn't practiced it so then when it was my turn to play and I told I had a surprise  and I showed her the beacon of glory I generally felt that she should play it as a teacher, and highly developed pianist (but I didn't say so). I stumble through most all of the piece and Greg just starts to sneer in a way that I think we all know and says "good job Ang your wrecking the piece"
I did not respond but kept on going begging for it to be over while my left hand would still push on the keys (which were mainly flats) in shame for the next twelve measures. My brother still felt the need to tell me how much of a disappointment I am and said "wow Mrs. C must love you for brining in this piece"
At this point I was at the bring of anger where in I turn around and in a temperamental voice I say "shut up!"
by the end I was laughing to keep from crying, but as Mrs.C always does she makes it better and says that was nice how about we have a jolly rancher (which she always does when she sees that this is going to be a big job, she's hungry, or when where all tired of playing and need an excuse for a break. 
While passing the Jollies out she asks"can I have it to play?"
I didn't really care because I had two copies of it and I don't play it a lot, so I just say "sure." 
But of course my brother says "yes, then you'll stop playing it."
Coming toward the end of my part of the lesson she asks if I want to play a duet with Greg for the recital, I say "yes" because I know it would be good to have a solo and a duet for the piano. Greg then burst our "I want first part"
I didn't really care, but when  started practicing I saw that every single beat for the second part was three-five part harmony, while Greg's part was only two part right hand one and left hand one. This was all okay because that just means I will get better than him which I'm fine with. What I dislike is that the day we usually have lessons is on Monday but since Greg didn't practice his part at all he asked Mrs. C to postpone it to Wednesday, which means that we'll only hive 4 days to practice the new parts. But bye the end of the lesson I felt fairly good about how it went.
First Post Facts:

  • We've talked about doing this for awhile and I've just been proactive about it and started with it. 
  • sometimes Mrs. C tries to show us how a new piece is supposed to be played and finds someone on youtube playing it well, and we've found some pretty strange people There is one in particular that will be linked to this post.
  • There is also going to be a link from my facebook to the blog for people to check it out, and see how we're doing in piano 
  • I will also give some recitals times friends and family to see whats happening.
  • we're going to try and make this a weekly thing
  • What my brother is playing for a recital and showed to Mrs. C
Have a good day Thanks for reading
