Since I am running out of BIG things to say, I think I'll just put several smaller posts. Do some of you out there remember the article about cell phones being related to health? Well....when i heard it...i didn't care. In about a month, I have a good chance of getting a cell phone. Actually, I had to bribe my mom for it. Sighhh....one more hour of piano everyday. Although i need the extra hour for my next competition, which is fairly difficult, I'll have a hard time. It bugs me when people ask if I have a teacher, and if I'm better than him. People think that impressive piano is just playing fast and furious. There's so much more to music than impressing unexperienced audiences with fast fingers. For instance, I have a piece I'm practicing that is very slow, but has to have an EXTREME amount of EXCELLENT tone, dynamics, clarity, etc. It actually is harder than some of my "AMAZING" pieces.

I agree. In fact I think that slow songs can sometimes be more difficult than fast songs.
