Junior Mozart Music Club

Object to be Destroyed by Man Ray



Junior Mozart Music Club

Mrs. Hart did her best.
Eighth note and arpeggio,
B Major and Für Elise
floated around my
adolescent head
looking for all the world
like that new top
I saw at the mall,
and sounding like
Saturday morning cartoons.
My metronome gathered dust
and I was (obviously)
not a star at the
quarterly meeting of the
Junior Mozart Music Club.

At least I looked cute for my piano recital :)

  3. Quite an elegant dress -- seems like it might have made pedaling the piano a challenge, though!

  4. for some reason that dress makes you look disproportionally tall - i think its the high waistband

    In our music class in the period of two years we saw one Xylophone between two children - once. The rest of the time was spent watching our teacher sip her coffee, call us "people" and ask us to keep quiet (the coffee was there for a reason)

    Oh, and interesting factoid - Mozart's first name isn't Wolfgang - It's Johannes

  5. All god's children got a place in the choir...where you found your niche, Bug.

    What a cutie you were (and are).

  6. Yes, once "Fur Elise" gets into your head, it won't let up. :-)

  15. I once was at a piano concert, big fancy do with a famous artist playing Beethoven, and someone's cell phone went off. Fur Elise. Went off for a whole minute. I think the owner was too embarrassed to make a move for it.

2024 Project 365 – Week Twelve

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
