and King Midas... AT THE SAME TIME!!! :O GASP!
No joke.
Have you ever had a teacher soo wonderfully awesome and insightful that your just like *jawdrop*
yeah that would be me right now. So I got a new violin teacher right. SOo crazy..
ok on the off chance that he might read this (highly unlikely) I won't mention his name. haha
So the first time I met him I think he took too many cough drops cause he was sick so he was acting super weird. Really really weird. and he's kinda short too..well not really but he kinda look that way :] YET, he knows EVERYTHING. Like I said, this guy is Yoda.
On another note... he has the golden touch... but for music. I swear everything he plays turns to audible GOLD. He gave me this song couple weeks ago. I didn't really like it... therefore.. I didn't really want to play it. So I went to lesson the other day and he played like different measures to show me what he wanted me to fix... like I said, King Midas this guy. Like when he played I could like imagine a prince charging through battle to rescue his princess. His music tells a story.
He told me this story of a guy's dad he knew. Way back before cheap public transportation and copy machines, there was this guy named Mr. Sheng. He loved the violin. His favorite piece was Ava Maria. There was a violin transcription of the piece, but the only copy was over a hundred miles away in a library. Mr. Sheng walked one hundred miles to this library. walked. seriously he walked. When he got there. He copied the music. note by note. line by line. Then he walked another hundred miles home. Love music people. love. music.
