It's music I tell you

"Poor little Maggie sat down, with all the music chased out of her soul, and the seven small demons all in again."

Yesterday afternoon was the annual keyboard concert, which all the keyboard kids in our music school + guitarists/violinists/classical people roped into performing play in every year.
I fell into the last category, so I played Debussy's Arabesque 1 like last time.. it went a bit better than before. but not much better. lol well at least mum didn't notice that I made any mistakes.
At least half the kids are <10
but
the good thing about keyboards is that all the background sequences and SFX and stuff fill in quite a lot, so all the lil' ones playing with two fingers sound cute
haha
My favourites were the 'old mcdonald jazz version' trio, cos' one of the girls had her keyboard set on some brassy instrument thingy, sounded like a duck quack
and the 'yankee doodle variations' duet. it was really energetic. reminded me of the chocobo song

The audience was a bit... lol it was entirely comprised of teachers, parents and performers
They started applauding before I finished playing, and if you've ever heard the piece, you'll know it's not one of those "hmm sounds like the end.. oh wait she's still playing" sort of pieces
And there was this girl playing violin
Audience started applauding immediately after she finished playing even though the accompianist was still playing the closing bars
I was like
...
*starts clapping for the accompianist*
xD
Anyway, it was good =]

It seems that musical talent is a recessive allele that skipped my generation :D
