Currently working on a suite of dances and a Fantasia I like to call "memories of Titan" based on Mahler's first symphony. It's a big task and I don't think I'm equipped for it, but it doesn't hurt to sketch and I'm excited for how it turns out. Anyway I got rid of the pipa picks mostly because my dad threw them out cuz I put them in a bowl... Not like I had good tape for them anyway. Been working on my stroke style as well and building a sketch for practicing that. A very difficult sketch I might add. I'm slowly improving with each day of practice.

Sounds like a fun project.
Keep at it, Kellie!

Kellie, Your post is a great diary entry, but are you going to give us a demonstration ?

Yep that's me. Although it is a piece I've shown here many times. Everyone there hates me though.

Nobody hates you, they just want to hear a tuned instrument playing a piece w/ a beginning, middle & end, not just lazy, fragmented out of tune nonsense.

( Are you a performance artist ? )  It seems like you're posting way too soon on the learning curve, & are overly sensitive to honest feedback.



(On the other hand, kudos for your bravery).

Yeah you describe it pretty accurately. I just get excited to share things I guess.
