Howdy!
I'm teaching piano lessons to a friend's kid! : ) I think he's 10. Maybe he's almost 11. Anyway -- it's fun! I enjoy teaching piano! I'm learning a bunch of new stuff, too!
Did you know that there are MORE than just the Major and Minor Scales??? I didn't! Until this week! There are 8 more types of scales, including the Mixolydian, Dorian and Lydian scales! For the C Mixolydian scale, it's like the regular C scale, except instead of regular B, you play B Flat. For the C Dorian scale, you play E Flat and B Flat instead of the regular E and B! For the C Lydian scale, you play F Sharp instead of the regular F! Try that on the ol' piano and see what it sounds like! There's also a Blues scale! For the C Blues scale, you skip the D and the A, and you play C, E Flat, F, G Flat (which is F Sharp), G, B Flat and C! : ) It sounds JUST like a blues song! Very cool stuff there!
Oh! Our Realtor had her baby last week! A little girl! She's so cute! Of COURSE she's CUTE! She's Indian (from India)! And ALL Indian babies are cute!!! : )
My son will have an interview with Microsoft next Friday! It's for a full-time job in either Seattle or New York, after he graduates in May! I'm excited for him! I hope he gets one of the two jobs! He really wants to work for Microsoft, and he has interviewed with them several times before! : ) At least he has had LOTS of practice up to now, and knows what to expect, and will hopefully be prepared enough to nail the interview!!!! : )
Is that it??
Ummmmmm..................
Well -- On a personal note -- I wish I was more of a reader. There are SO many good books out there to read, and I have bought several of the ones that I WANT to read one day! I hope to one day be more of a reader. I CAN do it!!!! : ) I'm going to think positive here! And after I start reading the books, you'll be able to hear ALL about them on here! I'll give reports and everything! : )
One of my sisters is visiting my other sister right now! I wish I were there to visit, too! They each have 3 kids, so that's SIX kids all together when they get together! : ) I hope they have a fabulous time playing and having fun! It's good for cousins to be able to see each other. I wish I knew my cousins and Aunts and Uncles better.
I think that's it now. : )
Have a good day!

Kudos to you, teaching piano lessons. Your explanation of music and keys takes me back to the days when I took piano. . .
(I went through quite a few poor teachers--one disappeared right after my lesson and was never seen again)
And good luck to your son!
Well THANK YOU, "Showmethesale"! You took piano lessons? Sorry to hear that you had a bunch of not-so-good teachers. I'm probably just as good as the average teacher, so let me know if you ever want to start taking lessons again! I promise not to disappear, and to help you learn how to play, and to play well! Thanks for the best wishes to my son! It will be very exciting for him if he gets the job! : )
