I love messages! Even if you just want to say hi, I'd love to hear from you. If it's not apparent enough from my username that I love classical music...feel free to talk over Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, ETC, and I'll be very pleased to chat with you about it. Click here to post a new message. I'll always reply on your talk page, unless you don't have a username, so unless you want to have to keep checking back here, it would be a good idea to sign your messages using four tildes (~~~~). Please add new comments at the bottom with a relevant message heading. I archive every 30 message headings...archived talk can be found at the right. And thanks for talking to me! Thanks to Sango for the design of the archive table, etc. and to Tito for the beautiful colors of this and my userpage. Thanks, guys! Update: If you are waiting for a reply from me and it's been more than a month, please leave another note, because it's extremely likely that I forgot to reply. Thanks!--ViolinGirl♪ 00:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

This link goes directly to the memorandum http://www.icasinc.org/history/katsura.html. HelloI saw you wrote about Narmer. I write about Ancient Egypt at Serbian Wikipedia :) And the other interesting thing is that I play the violin, too. Actually, I graduated last year :) All the best! Don't practice too much :)) Srdjan Vesic 16:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Help for a noobA long time ago you wrote in my talk page that if I needed help, I could ask you. Well, now that I've finally decided that I'd like to start contributing more to Wikipedia, I was wondering if you could tell me how to find pages that need fixed or such? Sir Elderberry 03:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC) Happy AprilHey ViolinGirl, how are you doing? You doing exams? I just thought I'd drop by to say "hi" and happy April Fools! Hope you well.

Thank you
ArticleHi ViolinGirl, I made an article about College Confidential a couple of weeks back. Do you know why someone deleted it? Is there any way to get it back? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_confidential Thanks, EKN 19:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)EKN MusicAlso, have you ever had a chance to play Profokiev’s Concerto for Violin #1 or any Paganini concertos? Those solo parts are so hard! EKN 19:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)EKN Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2
THANK YOU for removing BISHOP BRUNO'S Image. You are a WikiPerfectionist. This is a liberal man that would certainly not object to the kind use of his likeness. But here are you to protect him! It's nice to have a purpose in life, isn't it! Happy Easter!  Happy Easter! :D
P.S. Oh, and you'll notice something different about my user page and talk page... :P Hint:T3h colors. _-M Happy EasterCiao Ragazza Violino, spero di regalarti un piccolo sorriso con questo mio saluto dall'Italia (Milano). Un bacio da 82.50.35.110 Hi ViolinGirl, hope i'll give you a little smile with this greeting from Italy (Milan). A kiss from 82.50.35.110 ;) A tiny favour.Hi there Violin Girl, I hope I'm not bothering you too much; I was just wondering, if you have any spare time in your busy schedule, could you look at the Editor review page and try to maybe review me? I'm trying to find out how I can improve and how I'm viewed on Wikipedia. Much thanks! _-M
hey ViolinGirlJust saying 'Hey'. I, too, love Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. I also love Aaron Copland and Stravinsky and the Beatles, and Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan and many others. I play upright bass (bluegrass), guitar (folk and started learning classical long ago), and some banjo (bluegrass - Scruggs and melodic three finger picking). I love Wikipedia. I'm new at Wiki community and everything Wiki (wiki markup) etc. Good luck in all you do.

It was so good to hear that you placed well in the competition last Saturday. I mean, really! I couldn't stop smiling as I read those last two v.com posts. For some reason, it made my day. That day was fun for me, as well--I had a competition of my own last Saturday (math, haha). And still, I need to apologize for having taken still another week to write back. Oh, but more importantly, you're playing the Siciliano tomorrow! *grin* Of course, I'll make sure to send a request to a Friend for a smooth performance (and more reliable strings). Anyway, it's high time I replied (and hopefully I haven't completely forgotten the way of the wiki)...
Yes! ^_^ After a good number of phone calls and discussed decisions, I've begun studying with Lee Joiner for a few weeks now (hmm... link, link... there we go!). I've really been loving the lessons, and he's just a great teacher. Without fail, we always go past the hour-lesson mark, since there's simply so much to cover. And getting private lessons has changed my life, busy-wise--but more on that later. As a sample of his style, one of the ways he suggested practicing the violin arrangement of the Rachmaninoff Vocalise was--to my delight--to actually sing the part (to understand the phrasing as it was originally meant). *thrilled*
Well, I certainly have gotten into a good share of bad habits, and I'm sure there are more that I just haven't been told about yet XD. Bowhold, "chin-hold," shifting movements, hand shape, you name it! I actually find it pretty exciting ^^. Oh, and Mrs. Collins--did I ever mention that I had her as my private instructor at the String Workshop maybe four years ago? I still remember her teaching me things like "the Itzhak Perlman way to start a piece." XD
Oh yes, your quotes of "SLOW DOWN!!" sound very familiar ^_^. Of course, you can't help but appreciate when your parents decide to impart to you all of their carefully-discovered driving secrets, ranging from some pretty hilarious gas-preservation techniques to my mom's introducing the concept of people who turn on their headlights in the middle of the day as a way to "warn" other drivers that there's a cop nearby. Now that was interesting.
Amen ^^. I recently did a little search in the college and public libraries for "Christian Hedonism" only to find that, well, even using Google Book Search, the concept isn't known by that name to many. ^^ The article does seem like it'll require some innovation to jump into; after all, "Christian Hedonism is a liberating and devastating doctrine" (How to Fight for Joy). Will be looking forward for opportunities to build on it nonetheless.
Music! I have been reading Extreme Calling and that, among other things, have been seriously been challenging my own standards in the music world, which have unfortunately been taking a turn from the perfect in the past several years. There is so much to ponder!--even Piper's standards call for some deep thinking, with the way music works with our satisfaction in the Lord. Does he mention that in any of his books? And I did hear about Bruce Wilkinson's work in Africa... *sigh* Indeed. So much that can be discussed, but... time isn't exactly on my side right now ><.
I think I know what you mean XD. Last year, I was surprised to find out that all of the kids were ages 4-7 (instead of ~6-12 as I had been expecting). Definitely a big difference, and like you said, an interesting experience. To be honest, I think I survived a bit better psychologically than did Victoria (mostly because I had a milder group of kids while hers were astoundingly... turbulent); though, I seemed to have caught a few health-related side effects from the week ^_^. One can get pretty hoarse with so many kids under their wing! *laughs*
And rightly so! :D Happily for me, I did make good on my declaration to copy your poetic posts into a file, and thus will be writing some thoughts on "From the snowy mountain" before long. I hope you'll forgive me for that. ^^ Ah, poetry! *happy sigh*
Victoria's work with Daily Success included a few things, as far as I've come to understand it. Mainly, it was HTML-izing the Daily Success emails, which would come from Mr. Gothard, then go to her boss(es), and then to her. She and her coworker would also need to "put 'em live," basically just uploading the latest email and making sure that it would get sent out to the right people. During the course of the year while the DS emails were being written, it sometimes looked like pretty intense work, since Mr. Gothard might not get it finished until later in the day, and then it would need to go through a couple other people before she or whoever else was doing the uploading could do the final formatting touches and send it out. Good thing Victoria's a tough person ^_^. And ah yes, Dairy Success. I happened to very subtly spoof/reference DS as well in a poem somewhere, truth be told... *acts mysterious* Whew! Hope the quotes from my talk page worked well, since it was a long time ago when you wrote those ^^. Anyway, as I promised above to mention later, I'll give an update on how my life has been lately before I run off. Violinistically: Lessons have, as I said, changed everything. I guess when you have a couple of pieces to work on (I think this will be the first time that I have actual solo pieces prepared for the SW audition), Kreutzer, scales, and a million bad habits, and you toss on one, two, three orchestras, you begin to wonder if you should have thought through your schedule a bit more thoroughly before saying "yes" so quickly. XD If you read Victoria's latest blog entry, you'll also be introduced to one of my latest passions--improvisation. That last thing also raises concerns about music standards, though... *lost in thought* Everything else: Well, I think the other things will start relaxing a bit now that... *laughs* that I've written this, finally. Like how you mentioned "forcing myself to neglect replying to e-mails and miscellaneous comments in cyberspace" at v.com, I've been similarly making sure that I write here before doing anything else ^_^. It's just been too long! Next on "the list" is, well, poetry, definitely (including one I wrote several weeks ago for Sango's collection but never finished the last third of), "internet correspondence," and, dutifully, academia. These next couple weeks I'll really be flying around (a couple orchestra performances, a couple auditions to work towards, SAT's on Saturday, etc), so your prayers are very much appreciated, as always. Just the other day I was sitting there and thinking, "Wow. somebody's praying for me right now, I just know it." ^^ Thanks so much for reading, and God bless!

I have not vandalized...with this IP, thankfully. Hi there, how are you doing? I thought I'd check my messages anonymously and I (through a link journey) noticed you came online this evening. I trust by now you realize this is Banes (shhh!) taking a moment out of his wikibreak. In the news, I am writing my SAT on June 3rd, and have already registered, unfortunately I also have other exams soon before it (hence my withdrawal from the esperanza thing and wikibreak). What is your current education situation? All the best 165.165.127.37 18:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC) P.S. No hurry in replying, as I am supposed to be on wikibreak (despite the contribs for this IP telling another story). If you don't mind, please reply on the vandal talk, thanks!
Re: Hey! im leaving a message for no reason...--Sparticus001 23:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Enjoy your break!We'll look forward to seeing you when you get back. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 21:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC) Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3
Same Birthday!Hey guess what?.....you and me have the same birthday! July 11, right? and im turning 16 this july, which means your turning seventeen (i think), so only a year apart! amazing... - Bagel7 10:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC) Piano Concerto - Chopin-Approximately five minutes into the second movement of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in f minor, somewhere around there...is that called a tremolo that the violins are doing? Unfortunately if you've never heard it I have no idea where on the Internet to get a recording. :( —CliffHarris (-T|C-) 02:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC) ThanksThanks you for the nice welcome on my talk page. I think I'm getting a handle on this Wikipedia thing. Now let let me try and sign my name... --Zencato 16:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC) HQITW is back!Hi! I'm just reminding everyone about my quiz section, the Hardest Questions In The World Section. Although many players are already taking part, the more people playing, the more exciting it becomes. Drop by the following link to play... See this link to take part in the competition! Questions are updated every so often, so come back later if there are none left to answer. Thanks, Spawn Man 02:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC) Chopin Piano Concerto - againI found a recording of the piano concerto here, but I don't know whether it was all three movements or not, as I am listening to a recording of it on my CD player now. :) Too bad I don't have the software to upload it on my computer. :( —CliffHarris (-T|C-) 01:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC) (Oh, and who made [or how did you make] the colourful templates on your main page and here?) Thanks for the Welcome!Thank you for your post on my talk page. That article on Friedrich Seitz was mostly written by other people; I only happened to notice that both articles existed (both showed up on a search). I have created one article, List of composers by nationality, in an attempt to consolidate some of the shorter lists for individual countries, namely Ireland, Spain, and Bulgaria. Part of me also thinks that, because categories exist for these already, if any of these lists are useful at all, or if they are simply restating the same information. What do you think? Thanks again for the welcome! Dafoeberezin3494 03:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC) |
