Outside of school life

As you well know, I do Ballet,Modern, etc. I checked up and looked at how many hours of dance I did this whole month because since I dont take a sport in school (which is Glendale Prepatory Academy) I was allowed to have the opportunity to take an outside sport ( it has to be 40 hours in total for a year) which was ballet for me. So like I was saying, I looked up how many hours i did and according to my caculations (and i hope they are right) I have taken 40 hours and 45 minutes of dance this month. Pretty exciting and a bit surprising.
Next is my piano life. I play piano and I love it more than ballet itself. Currently I work on Fantasie -Impromptu by Chopin, Sonata in E Mojor by Scarlatti, and La Campanella by Liszt. Now you probably know Fantasie-Impromptu because its such a famous song. And you might think "Why would you want to play La Campanella now, and its hard?!" My answer, I love Chopin very much and for La Campanella, I heard Ingrid Fujiko Hemming (the very famous pianist) play that song and it inspired me to play such a lovely song. Although it is hard, I promised myself that I wouldn't give up until I have mastered the song.
If you have any more questions about my life, etc, please leave a comment and ask anything. Thanks for taking the time to read this 3 paragraph stuff about my life. Hope you see my later blogs.

  1. Do you think I should've added photos with the post to make it look better instead of all boring stuff?

  2. I think thats amazing that you have all thr time to do everything you love. And also, by adding Fujiko Hemming to it makes it a lot more interesting. For future reference, if your planning on writing longer posts, add a few photos about the post itself. But otherwise, great!

    Love, Andrea.

  3. I know. Classes there are something like sixteen hours a week! Crazy, but awesome. :)

    Love Fantasie Impromptu. I have been so slow at learning it...everyone and a while I'll go back to it. Maybe it's about time I actually finish. It's hard to stay motivated when teaching yourself.

  6. Haha yeah. I like fast songs but tehcnique-wise, Im very bad. Slow songs really show how good I am. Surpisingly my hands are bigger than most pepole incluidng my older brother but my hands are used for song that are slow or loud since I have more of the power hands then the light fast touch hands.
