*I woke up realizing i took a shower last night so i could sleep in another 30 min.
*Had enough time to get ready and make it to class.
*The greatest music ever was playing on the radio
*I had a good piano class.
* One whole hour to just relax and talk to new friends i have made in my classes before class started...
*Then the greatest of all news:
So before the break we had a test in my Aural Perception class. It really isn't an easy test, and it can get really confusing especially if you know nothing about music so you can tune me out while you read this little bit, or try to understand, your decision.... anyway, I will try to explain Aural Perception to you. It is a required class for music students. The class teaches you to define different intervals, Rythm, Rythmic Dictation..Intervals such as: m2 (minor second), M2 (major second), m3 (minor third), M3 (Major third), P4 (Perfect Forth), P5 (Perfect fifth), TT (Tri Tone ((aka the Simpson's theme song starts in a tri tone)), and P8 or perfect octave. I have funny little tricks and songs to help me remember them for example:
M2 ascending (going up) sounds like a regular scale, Descending (going down) it sounds like three blind mice... so to remember it i put it together and say Three Blind Scales. That way i remember both and i have a better chance of getting it right.
m2- fury jaws aka- ascending= jaws theme song, Descending= Fur Elis
P4- here comes the bride
P5- ... well you get the idea
So i have these tricks and things to help me remember that portion of the test.
Next is rhythm. The teacher plays a rhythm on the piano and we have to write it out on our paper.
Then is Rhythmic Dictation, Meaning we have 4 measures of a melody that he plays and we have to write out the rhythm and the notes on staff lines.
I know it doesn't sound like it makes sense at all... But it actually DOES!
*I got 100% on my Test!!!!! I was one of Two People that got that score and I am so happy!
*Then i got into my theory class which is not my favorite, it just is really complicated, and a completely different language. And again before the break we took another test... except this one was a mid term, harder things i wouldn't even dare try to explain them and confuse all my readers... ANYWAY. I got a 99% on my test. Not quite a 100 but DANG close!!
*I understood the lesson being taught in class
*Had lunch with my friend Alli mack
*Then i went to a job interview at "Southwest Spine and Sports" as a front desk receptionist. It was great! The lady was really pleased, and told me she would get back to me. She was hoping to find someone full time, but if she found someone reliable to work the morning shift than she would be more than glad to high me! It was so great to hear that! A great confidence booster.
*I went back to school, and worked out for and hour and a half. Which i felt great after ward!
*picked up dad from Kia
*He filled up my cute red car up with gas, because he's the greatest.
*Went over the Jacobs House and played volleyball with him and his sister in their front yard (and now my arms hurt and there are broken blood vessels now...)
*Went to dinner with dad at Texas Roadhouse very scrumpdidilyupsious!!
*and now I'm going to go to bed early because i don't have any homework due tomorrow. Just Dance!!!
Today was a great day! I hope this week will be a good one! i can just feel that it will.
PS. Last week was spring break for me... i only did one thing that was fun worth writing about and that was going to the ZOO so pictures will be coming shortly! and fun stories! Peace out Yo
