Beware the fog

As the big MAMTG Competition has finally arrived, I have one last thing to say to my students.

Beware of the fog.

No, not the actual kind of fog you see ls17 kuhn dlc kostenlosen. The kind of fog you feel. The kind of fog that is all too often ever present, lurking just in the shadows, that only ever really seems to appear at the darkest of times wlan driver windows 10 download for free.

Worry. Doubt. Fear. Nervousness. That fog.

Nervous – I don’t mind that one. Nervous means you care. Nervous means you really want to get it right need for speed für pc kostenlos downloaden. That one, I’m ok with.

It’s when nervous turns into worry that I start to get concerned. A little bit of nervous energy is great. A whole lot of cloudy worry can be terrible herunterladen.

So tonight, tomorrow, Sunday, forever, don’t let the fog take you. Don’t let the fog cloud your inner vision. Don’t let the fog lead you astray adobe pdf reader.

Close your eyes and remember you know the way. You know what to do, what to sing, what to play, how to feel. You’ve got it all inside of you. Don’t let the fog keep you from seeing that.

It’s Mwish Time!

What’s a mwish?? It’s like, you know, a wish, but better, because there’s music in it! In addition to practicing, I need to think about what I need from my practicing (or my music in general) before I get to the bench herunterladen. So that when I get there (or wherever else I need to be) I will be better prepared to totally rock it out.

This week my mwish is simple.  I mwish to actually practice.  You know how you don’t realize how much you love something until it’s gone?  I am at this point right now.  And it’s not that I forgot how much I love piano, or guitar, or music in general, but music is one of those things that has become such a part of my routine (a very sparkly, wonderful, magical part), that I just grew accustomed to the sense of peace, accomplishment and joy that practicing injected into my everyday life.  Practicing has become both an important part of my life for my work and for my health.  And I miss it adobe flash player deutsch kostenlos downloaden.

It’s not that I am having an awful time up here in the mountains, sweating like a waterfall and destroying my feet, discovering new and interesting ways to make my body sore, but I am just not practicing any of my instruments the way I do when I am home, and I miss it.  So this week, I mwish for more practice time.  I’m not even sure how this is going to work out, as I have been trying – mostly unsuccessfully – for two weeks to practice, and if I haven’t figured out how to do it by now I’m not sure if I’m going to get it done ever final fantasy full version for free.

But a girl can mwish, yes?

Mwish No. 2: Staying Focused

What’s a mwish?? It’s like, you know, a wish, but better, because there’s music in it! In addition to practicing, I need to think about what I need from my practicing (or my music in general) before I get to the bench herunterladen. So that when I get there (or wherever else I need to be) I will be better prepared to totally rock it out.

This week, Miss Anna needs some focus!  I am even having a hard time focusing on writing this mwish out sonos software herunterladen!

Why do I need focus this week?  We have one more recital coming up on Sunday.  Not only do my students have to perform, but I’ll be performing, too!  I’m really excited, for both them and myself.  But since this is our last week before the recital, and for my students to be focused and ready as we enter the home stretch,  I have to be focused and ready.  Super focused and ready, actually pinball for windows xp for free.

Although right now, the focus is not coming.  Perhaps will do some shiva nata, or just EAT SOMETHING (hmm, yes, I’m definitely hungry now that I’m thinking about it, isn’t i funny to not realize how hungry you are?), and hopefully the focus will come futura bold.

What are you mwishing for this week?  Or at the very least, what are you regular, everyday shade of wishes for the week?  It’s a nice thing to think about on a Sunday night – the promise of all the things you can get done in the following six days gta san andreas free pc!

Mwish No. 1: Just some time, please!

What’s a mwish??  It’s like, you know, a wish, but better, because there’s music in it!  In addition to practicing, I need to think about what I need from my practicing (or my music in general) before I get to the bench.  So that when I get there (or wherever else I need to be) I will be better prepared to totally rock it out cliparts programm kostenlosen.

This week I am mwishing for more time to practice!  While I do have a crazy schedule, I know that the time exists in it somewhere for me to get more practicing in!  I have to practice for the weekly open mic (so that’s guitar), a fun jam on Saturday (that’s guitar), and a gig on Father’s Day (that’s guitar, too!) how to download from youtube.

So that is a lot of guitar.  My poor little left hand fingers.

Here I am making a mental note of needing to get ink cartridges for my printer tkkg herunterladen. Just in case I need to print out any new lead sheets.

Additionally, I have been slacking on the piano practicing lately.  I’ve been focusing too much on my students.  A good thing, yes?  But I can’t forget my own playing.  So there’s that to get back into zdfmediathek.

That’s a lot of practicing I’m mwishing for this week.  Think I’ll get it done this week?

The Good and the Interesting No. 1: Chords

It’s Friday, and Friday is as good a day as any to stop and evaluate all the Good, the Interesting, and sometimes, even the Bad.  If you notice something particularly funky while you are thinking about it today, why not spend tomorrow focusing just on that free horse games to download?

Good Things
I blogged!  You might be thinking this is old hat for me by now, but really, I sometimes find it really hard to get motivated to blog.  I have tried many different techniques to get myself to blog, and most of them failed.  This week, I didn’t.  What worked?  No clue.  Maybe that’s part of the fun zoom.de herunterladen.

Something else that’s actually pretty awesome this week is I got a new album by one of my fave bands, World/Inferno Friendship Society.  PARENTS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.  It is a pretty amazing album, as far as their albums go, and I sat down and figured out not one, but TWO of their songs.  “Thirteen Years Without Peter King” and also “The Politics of Passing Out.”  They weren’t actually too difficult for me to figure out, but a search on ultimate-guitar.com (both my favorite place to find chords and the bane of my very existence sometimes) returns nothing on either of these songs.  So I guess what I consider “challenging” has shifted since the last time I actually tried to figure out a song on my own.  Which is actually kind of cool.  I got better virus protection mac for free. I have spent so much time teaching and making other people better, I didn’t realize my ears were getting better at stuff pretty much all on their own teams microsoft herunterladen.

Other neat thing this week – I spent two days babysitting the kids.  And by that I mean, I was working at Pianos Plus in Raritan.  It’s one of the cooler jobs I’ve ever had.  Where else do I get to hang out with 20 assorted pianos and keyboards??  Seriously!  One of the neat things is practicing the same thing on each piano.  You stop paying attention to what you’re putting into the piano and you really start paying attention to the subtle differences of what is coming out of each piano.  It’s fascinating, and an opportunity few rarely get songs aus amazon musik downloaden.

Interesting Things
What does Miss Anna find interesting anyway?  What constitutes “interesting?”  What is this “interesting” of which you speak?  One of my students YEARS ago came to the conclusion.  I never say something sounds bad.  It’s always, “That was iiinnnteresting.”  Which is pretty true song von soundcloud herunterladen.

Much to my surprise, nothing really interesting happened this week.  Hooray!

Bad Things
None of that happened this week. herunterladen. musically.  Personally, not so much.  But we’re trying to remain positive here, in general, yes?  So we are going to be thankful that at least nothing bad happened musically, and we are going to move on super mario world herunterladen.
