I was playing through some of my old Suzuki books today to get ready for playing at Martin's grocery store on Saturday. As I was looking at the music in book 4 I stopped a second to read what my teacher had written in the columns. Perhaps I should start with this: when I'd first learn a new song, my teacher would play it through for me, and then he would ask me what I the music made me think of - and then he'd write it in the column. So back to today. I read what it said... near the beginning I was thinking of a princess, and then it gets a little faster so I decided that the king came into the room. But then the music gets slow and dream-like... So I said that the princess was daydreaming of her prince. Then it gets faster - and of course, my female mind says: "the prince comes and all her dreams come true."
... but think about it... nothing happens that way... even if the princess sees the prince, she never stops to think: maybe he won't like me. Just maybe the price cares nothing for the princess. Or the opposite could be true: what if once the price arrives the princess has second thoughts... maybe he's not all she heard he'd be.

But on a happy note (hehe... get it? note?... well, maybe it's just me), all this thoughtfullness provided a good tone and emotion for my playing...

So, ever think you're over something but then realize that your not... and it feels like you may never get over it?

Thursday is the first Pride & Prejudice rehearsal (well, for Todd and I, anyway)
I play for the Heritage Lunch on Friday... :-)
