Emptying My Shostakovich Folder

Hello friends, these are the ratings of my favorite pictures of Mitya.

Wow, I mean he looks like the kid you would find at an art student’s house party trying to hold a conversation with the abstract painting in the corner. I mean that beret? Iconic. The cat? FLUFFY AND GOOD 10/10

HE JUST LOOKS SO UNCOMFORTABLE.  BOTH HE AND KHACHATURIAN ARE OBVIOUSLY LOOKING AT SOMETHING ELSE AND PROKOFIEV IS LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA LIKE HES ON THE OFFICE. 8/10 PLEASE HELP HIM

Mitya and Irina (I thinkkkkkkk) Dog? Check. Cat? Check. Happy family? Check. 9/10 could use more cats.

-Billiards noises- Very good, multi-talented Mitya. 8/10

THE MOST, MOST IMPORTANT PICTURE. THE SMILE AND THE PIGGIES ITS JUST SO GOOD AND PURE. I WOULD GIVE IT 5 STARS ON SOVIET AMAZON. 100000000000000000000/10

Two unusual album covers for classical albums. The one with the silverware wrapped in plastic is especially perplexing.

Viola 1: *refering to a crazi viola in our class* Hey, you’re friends with him; how do you deal with him?

Viola 2: I just sit there

Me: great this section is just going to be…great

My mom: *looking at the cover of my Chopin CD* Chopin’s quite handsome.

Me: *laughs nervously*

Lessons for the summer are sadly over, but only a month until I’m playing with my Symphonic Orchestra again! :)

my dad: how on earth have we already run out of printer ink

me, a violinist heathen who just printed off three etude books and the entire beethoven violin concerto from imslp: it’s a mystery

Reading Sheet Music

What every 4th grade music teacher taught when teaching recorder: Remember Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge and FACE! They’re the line and space notes!

What we actually do: I know where C is on the staff! *starts counting lines and spaces, and ledger lines if necessary, until reaching note in question*

Being a viola player, I was really nervous to even try playing a very large instrument such as cello, but now I’ve grown immensely in love with Sir Henry Douglas (my cello of almost two years)
