I have just finished recording “All I Ask of You” on the piano, and although it is riddled with errors, I just don’t have the energy to record it again.
If you have any comments, please don’t hesitate to leave it. Just know that I have only been playing for two years, so don’t laugh!
I haven’t posted in a very long time, and I think I can attribute that to my own laziness. I suppose I just didn’t have the motivation.
Anyway, the past three weeks I have been on holiday, and in true holiday spirit, I have done absolutely nothing productive or of consequence. In fact, I do believe the most productive thing I have managed to do is to determine the maximum amount of time on can possibly sleep.
All right, I may be exaggerating. To be fair, I have completed my end-of-year drama practical exam play. It has been completed since the beginning of the year, but I have now removed some old songs, and inserted a few new ones. The dialogue has also been cleaned up. I have also finally written a new scene which I have been planning for a long time, but only now has come to light: The main character’s parents now get a scene of their own in order to further elaborate on her relationship with them and to add further motivation to the character.
It was a surprisingly easy scene to write, and the first scene in the entire play where the two main characters sing two different melody lines at the same time.
On the piano front, I have finally finished learning “All I ask of you”, even though I never really liked the song. It frustrates me to no end, to be honest. Way back when (in 2005) I was in a revue and I sang chorus for that song. Now, I promised myself I will never listen to it again, and lo and behold: I am playing it. Anyway, I will upload a video shortly.
Moving on, school starts again tomorrow and I am still deciding how much I want that to happen. At the moment I just miss the one act play and my friends, but the moment I get another homework assignment, I know I am going to wish for another holiday.
Anyway, it’s time now for “Are you smarter than a 5th grader.” Gotta run!
