Man, I missed blogging.
Bloody tests and school and bitchy teachers (with exceptional reference to our dear sheep).
Anyway, I am FINALLY getting my flute on Monday!!!!
Like, YAY!
I want a Gemeinhardt 3SHB flute or a Jupiter 711RSO , but it seems that Gemeinhardts aren't available in Singapore (from what I managed to google, anyway).
The Gemeinhard SHB is a SOLID silver head piece and silver plated blody. The Jupiter 711RSO is entirely sterling silver, but the keys are nickel silver, and it's french. (Open hole-d flute)
I bet you are thinking, "It's no use for a beginner to play an intermediate flute", but the material it is made out of MATTERS.
The silvers gives it a nice tone, and besides, I played a professional flute before (solid silver) and I sounded quite nice (at least that was what my teacher said, I don't know whether it was flattery or not).
I don't know how to explain to you. I suppose it's like an artist and his work.
Well, having good colour pencils will do wonders for your art piece, but in the end, it's the skills which matter. Which proves that the instruments DO matter to bring the best out of each art piece. I suppose I don't really have the sills yet, but I might as well learn it while playing a good flute, thus resulting in a win-win situation.
Best of all, when I need an upgrade, I won't be frazzled by the open holes (=
I think I will change my blog song. It probably scares readers off anyway.
Sigh. So much for foreign languages.
Just posting the lyrics of the song I want. Don't know if it's appropriate.
Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll byFor you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valleys, mountains
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
Are the lyrics too cheesy?
