I saw them live at tokyo dome Stadium twice which was marvelous and unforgettable. It was a worthwhile concert that was compelling enough to see again. They've been strutting their stuff since they were children so don't sell them short. At the end of the last encore they bowed onstage soaking up the applause. They met with a thunderous ovation. The band and the dancers and acrobats who were invited to perform alongside the band gave a superb performance. The choreography, the stage design and lighting design and the glow sticks were magnificent and surpassed our expectations. My friend Jo is planning on having the band endorse her company's products but she'll have to make it financially worthwhile for them. They're very career-oriented who have a worthwhile job and career. I consider music performing to be a worthwhile career. Yesterday I assigned six hours for practising their songs on my saxophone, piccolo, flute, oboe, cor anglais (english horn), clarinet, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon and contrabassoon. I practised with my friends who played glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, chimes, timpani (kettle-drum) and celesta, all of which have definite pitch. Adding these instruments makes the music more rhythmic. Saxophone, cor anglais and clarinet are transposing instruments. Saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet are single reed instruments whereas oboe, cor anglais, bassoon and contrabassoon are double reed instruments. Flute is a reedless instrument. Jo is a clarinetist. He explained to us regarding a piece by Clementi "this passage should be played beautifully rather than rhythmically. Otherwise it's a bit cheap. The third movement should be played passionately but many students play it like an erudite which is wrong." I saw lots of her pencil marks on the score such as: cantabile, silence, no pause here, just separate, clean pedal, more melodic voicing, remain soft, stay soft, quiet, hear tenor, clearer, articulate, in time, silvery soft, gentler, take time....Regarding teaching she said "i prefer payment in blocks. My students pay monthly or for four lessons at a time. For this month it's ok to pay on a lesson-by-lesson basis because maybe you wanna see what it's like to have lessons. From next month onwards pay monthly. Students of all standards are welcome. I'm also an accompanist who accompanies instrumentalists singers, dancers and other performers for exams, auditions and live performances. Some of my adult students started learning the piano when they were eighteen. Their fingers are much less dextrous and slower than say a ten year old child. Start training your fingers when you're still very young. In this way you're gonna be able to get much faster fingers. It'll improve your finger speed, strength, accuracy and dexterity to a large extent." Jo asked me to get her some Bach scores as I.can get them on the cheap from a friend of mine. Jo's great grandfather was a flutist during the romantic period. He died in a forest at the age of ninety nine. There was lots of compelling evidence that a hailstorm was a contributing factor in the accident. The Mummy is a compelling movie which begins with a flashback to Imhotep's past.
