Hi littletune!
What a nice surprise! I *love* your drawings!
You're soo cool too :)  8)

Thank you very much, Kleines Lied  :) 8)

gotta run teaching, be back later... :P

 :)

back  :P

Hi littletune

this is almost too much honour for me, you know :)  :-[
I am just trying to do my best in music, that's all :) But of course I know it is much after all. Anyway I am grateful to God that I am where I am :)
I am also very happy that you were born, though it is not your birthday today!!  :)  8)

Be careful to yourself, Littletune  :)

I know that you are very wise and advanced for your age. But please do yourself a favor! Don't forget that you are a child and so, please don't forget to BE a child!! But I know, of course, that you can handle all very well!!  8)

I just told my student's parents that I am so happy that my students can be children at the student's concert!  And that I love it when they are children! Running around, playing, being competitive etc. Everybody was nervous! I think among all the 50 something people in the room there was not one single person who wasn't nervous, including myself, of course. Hee hee  ;D
And when I played my own composition for them (because many of them had asked me to do so :) ) I was as much of a child as all of my students...and after all it was so much fun, and so funny too :D

  ;D :)

Hi pianowolfi :)  :)
I think your students are soooo very lucky to have such a cool teacher like you!!!  8)  :) And they're also sooooo very lucky that you play your compositions for them!! I am jealous!  :-\  ::)  :)
Well we are not really allowed to run around and play very much during our concerts.  ::)
Well don't worry I really love being a child  :)  :P It's just that maybe I am thinking too much about everything and then sometimes it looks like I'm too serious :) (a psychologist from our school said once I maybe shouldn't read books about psychology so much, and that I shoud rather read some other not very serious things :) but I don't really know if he really meant that or he was just joking  :-\ ). And I also know that people usually don't like stupid and annoying kids too much so I try not to be too stupid and annoying  :)  ;D But then I sometimes get really tired and sad and angry form trying too much to be all smart and serious and then sometimes I start acting even more stupid and childish :)   ::) And sometimes I even act like a baby  :-[  and I really like drinking milk for babies from a baby bottle  :-[  :-[ and so usually saturday or sunday mornings I drink baby milk form my baby bottle when I wake up :-[  :-[  :-[ but It's really good  :P and calming :)  :D  I know I'm really weird.

Well I hope I will have time to finish that drawing during the weekend... :) ... or really soon  :P   :)

Hi littletune :)

just to clarify: of course my students don't run around during the concert, but before and after it ;D
During the concert they behave, but their little siblings sometimes make a bit of noise and move a bit around but that is okay with me because I like them being there and contributing to the atmosphere :) After all it's a student's concert :) usually one rather strict glance at them is enough to calm them down. And for a 2-3 year old it's very difficult to keep quiet for more than an hour!

And anyway, you are not weird :)

Oh yes of course :) that would be very wrong to run around during the concert!!  :)  ;D but we are not allowed to run around very much before the concert either, but that's probably because there's really A LOT of us :) and after the recital we just go home right away :) And there are little kids and babies at our recitals too... my friend really hates them if they start crying and screaming :)

And I really wish I could compose something or make an improvisation for Wolfi's birthday but i think I'm way better at drawing than at music so...  ::)  :)  :P  ;D
And thank you Wolfi for saying I'm not weird :)

Well... I was thinking I would post that picture for Pianowolfi tomorrow, because it's exactly 3 months since his birthday... I know it's kinda a long time  :) so well... I thought I would post it tomorrow... but now I started thinking it's not good enough  :-\ and that he won't like it anyway and that everyone will think it's just stupid  :-[  cause well maybe it is stupid....

Thank you Wolfi!  :) But I don't know how you can be so sure :-\
Well I will post it later (I have to wait for my mum to scan it first)...
Well it's like it's not completely like from a real life... it's more like from imagination or something I think... And I made it like that cause I wanted to send you some butterflies so they would make your hand better, cause you said you had something wrong with your hand then. And also just to say hi too :) well you'll see... and it's ok if you won't like it... and I think it looks kinda better if you look at it from a little more far away... I don't know... well you'll seeeeeeee  :)  :P

So... well my mum told me that my picture is too big to scan it, so she has to take it somewhere else  ::) she can't scan it at home. So I will just post a photo of my picture that I made with a camera  :) it's not so good as if it was scaned but.... and I will post a scaned one when I'll have it. Oh and I also forgot to hide the date on the camera so the date is also on the picutre  ::) but I hope the scaned one will be better anyway!  :) Well but if Pianowolfi and everybody will think it's just stupid then I don't know if I would still post the scaned one too  :-\  :-[

Well so these are butterflies from littletune for Wolfi, and they're magical butterflies :) and they can make you feel better  :)

Wolfi, now I have the scaned picture.... but the colours are not so very good anymore....  :-\ they are not at all like on the real picture or like on a photograph  :( Do you want me to post the scaned one anyway? And if you do, how large should the picture be? Because now it's 10 MB, I think maybe that's too large for posting  :-\ I can make it smaller but I don't know how much...
well if you want you can tell me  :)

We concur that the connection is a mystery to us.

Well as so often it depends on the individual I guess. For me drawing something "on" one of my own compositions would be impossible, as I am even worse at drawing than at calculating ;). Playing something "on" a picture by littletune (or other pictures) doesn't seem that hard to me. Of course it would anyway only correspond but not "represent" a content or subject.

Happy birthday Wolfi again!

I can't believe it's already one year since your last birthday!!  :o  ;D  :D Well I don't know why but now I don't have any time at all!  ::) So I didn't do anything for you yet... but I will!  :P  :) Now I will just post a picture of a rainbow, cause you said you liked rainbows :)



And you said that a smile is the best present, so here's a picture where I have one of the biggest smiles I could find  :D  :P That's from when I was 5 and I was a "Sleepy Star", that's from a story about a star who was always sleeping too long and was always late and wasn't shining on the sky when she should and then she was sent to Earth... but then in the end she went back to the sky... and I was that star  8) (and that next to me was my best friend from preschool and we were always doing something stupid  :P and we didn't even have to talk about it we were just always thinking the same thing  8) and she was a bunny here ).



So well this for now :) I hope you're having a great birthday!!!  :)

You're really a gentleman :) And m1469, I am also very happy to be able to know you, of course! And of course I wish you also the best for your music, which has given me so many very precious listening moments! :)

My voice teacher surprised me with a little cake and a little candle today, that was so cute! And now I am relaxing after a not so easy choir rehearsal which I had to accompany, and enjoying the evening :)
