Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

That would be a breach of copyright. Cage sued on that already, so be careful.

True.  A copy is still a copy...  I know a director who makes students who lose their parts write out a replacement part by hand.... That would actually violate copyright laws I guess.

Hey Guys...

Made this out of the result I had with a student who continues to not think about what's written on the music.



Feel free to print it out on one of those 10cmx15cm photo paper.



PS. It was originally supposed to ready - "Keep Calm and Work out the frickin' letter name, instead of using your ears to assume the notes are right and stop playing like a brainless sheep..."

... but I couldn't squeeze it all in.    ;D

Why would you bother about thinking about the letter names?  Do you only read this by spelling it out?  ::)

(Ditto.  Except I'm in the present and my future self is in the future, so technically I'm posting first.  Who thinks letter names except beginners?  It's like thinking letters while writing a sentence.)

Has to have an eyebrow lift and be a gif.   ::)  I'll let it pass since they're aren't any gifs like that I see. ::)  I gave up trying to find a Lurch eye roll too.

I've had a few female students that.  Stand facing me, flip their hair forward, put their hat on backward.  They actually look like they're facing the other way.  Then you notice the feet point in the wrong direction.  The arms start moving strangely.  It's a weird effect.


They didn't know who Cousin It was.  ...And they were a bit insulted by being called an It.



So much for that.  I was thinking Cousin It was female...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_Itt

And it's Itt.  Who knew?


I remember the voice...



Dang... I'm getting old...  Gomez and Morticia look a bit younger than I remember.  They're like... ten years younger than what I would have pictured before.  Ten or twenty years younger.  Weird....
