h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

just been to music school, where I'm taking piano lessons. I think I will stop it this year, I don't have enough time to practise any more ( that's my excuse for lazyness ).
but I'm also not getting along with my teacher very well. I hate to disappoint him, but sometimes I have these days where I can't play a single note right. Then he loses his temper.
but I will forget about that for the moment and slowly turn towards a peaceful weekend.
maybe I'll start with a new book, something funny...

scuse me for buttin in .....but..(I added you to my fwends list, so I can lurk)

If you enjoy your lessons then continue, you will always find time for something that you enjoy, if you don't then don't bother!

Teachers shouldn't use their tempers, they should support you.

Have a good weekend!

Hi Susanne,we all have off days were we dont do anything right,but its no excuse for you techer to lose his temper,if you enjoy playing the piano then i would carry on doing it.
Anyway you have a nice week-end,and keep oning.

Well i try and make anyone smile,dont like to hear people who sound a bit down and fed up,im sure everything will come right for you in the end,
Have a nice week-end,Phil

Thanks for the

and call me vix, that would be okay....

I, too have such woes with my teacher. I have been taking lessons for over a year now. I would never even consider giving up, though. I have learned far more than just music by playing piano. I have learned to be tenacious and in the words of Churchill 'Never, never, never give up'.
When my teacher gets the needle with me, she kicks me off the piano mid lesson and starts bashing out some Chopin! Its worth letting her do it, just to get the old girl back on an even keel.
Can you change your lessons to fornightly rather than weekly if you are finding it difficult to find the time to practice? 2 weeks to learn a piece will have you more likely to play it perfectly when you go.

There you go Susanne,some kind people giving you some kind advice,stick to it and dont give in.

I should be more careful with my journal, I'm always exagerating, and my teacher is a good one, too. I just write down something when I'm carried away with my emotions. you should see my diary, or rather not. things in it that even I am ashamed to look at again!
about learning other things with music: my teacher told me once a theory, which I find very interresting. with music, you can learn something for life, you learn that you're just one part of the whole. I guess in playing in an orchestra it is more evident, but even while playing the piano, you have to accept that one has a more important role, one a not so important one. you can't just be so self-centred to say "I'm playing the leading role", sometimes another way is better. if you play Schubert or Chopin with both hands equally loud, it sounds like a mess.

Hi babes,dont worry about your journal,everyone exagerates and let their emotions run away.
Surely things in your diary can be that bad,as im sure you dont do bad things then write it in your diary,i dont keep a diary.
So keep on ing,heres a to cheer you up>

Phil, you're so sweet, I wish I could carry a little clone of you around with me, to always make me laugh!
you keep on smiling, too!

Hi babes,well i will get a pigeon and so it can fly over to you with a clone of myselfso you can put it in your hand bag and take it it everywhere you go.
So how are you keeping,have you done anything exciting or have you be been behaving yourself,i havent been up to much,just the normal stuff,housework,walking the dog,sort off had a lazy day.
You can me anyday,anyway you take care,andand here is a and some es.
