Hello, hello. Sophia here (maybe not most of the time, but sometimes I am) so I don't really update a lot. Sorry. Aspiring to be a woman who is CAPTIVATING (read the book!-is currently on my top favs!) and a student which can answer at least a few questions on her test correctly (I'm no nerd-I just like gettin' good grades). I like cold showers on hot days and hot showers on cold days, and being indoors when its (very) hot and being ourdoors after a heavy downpoor. Ps, I may not be the prettiest girl on earth, but I beautiful cos I have Jesus in me. :)
The King is entralled by your beauty, Psalms 45:11

Music class
Lately I can't seem to practice. Maybe its cos I'm too tired to. But that's severely ruining my finger proeficiency. I can't remember when was the last time I attended class without thinking : 'She's (my teacher's) gonna know that by the end of the top part of the third page that I haven't been practicing nearly enough' Aiyo. Susahlah. At least for violin I can still attempt to conceal my lack of practice by sight-reading the considerably easy notes fast enough, but with piano, my defiency is so painfully obvious. Honostly, Fats Walter would be rolling in his grave. The way I play his Alligator Crawl makes it sound as if the Alligator is a cancer patient suffering from a stroke in the middle of the piece. >.< And Cimarosa would flip if he knew how badly I treated his poor notes. So would Clementi if he heard my awful trills. What was supposed to be beautiful rippling notes sound like forced and unsuccessful cramming when played by me. Aisssss
A pianist's prayer
Dear God,
Provide me with strength to practice
Give me the patience to run through my scales
Lend my fingers stretchability to climb the arpeggios
Grant my finger tips accuracy that I may hit the right notes
Open my ears that I may hear my mistakes and set them right
Help my discipline myself through the correcting sounds of the metronome
Bestow upon me discernment that I may know whether my touch is correct
Enhance my hearing and give me words to say that I may do well for the aural tests
Bless me with wisdom to interpret the songs
Bless my voice that I may sing in pitch with what the examiner plays
Last of all, let me play with happiness
With a heart of gratitude of thanksgiving,
That the Lord has been good and is faithful
And that His servant plays for Him in a manner that seeks to glorify His throne.
Amen

cos somedays, you need more encouragement than others.
