My New Favourite Composer...

Ludovico Einaudi's I Giorni

Beautiful.  Another piece I am determined to teach myself.

I can't wait to play more of Ludovico Einaudi's music.  Once you get your fingers round them, it's complete and utter perfection.  

Let me know what you think...

Ludovico Einaudi Nuvole Bianche

Yet another beautiful piano piece I am going to teach myself.

Once I have learnt these pieces I will be sure to do a video of myself to show you...

And Another...

Here is another piece from Amelie which is on my piano playing wish list <3

I am hunting for the piano music this afternoon from my local music shop.  I hope they have the Amelie piano music.

A New Piano Piece...

I'm going to learn how to play this once I find the sheet music <3

I love the Amelie soundtrack...  Yann Tiersen is a genius.

T.G.I. Saturday!

Yesterday turned out to be one of the best days I've had in a very long time.  

The day started with a mini lie in (down to my annoying body clock, I was awake at 8 - hence the use of the word "mini") which was just what the doctor ordered.

I went for a dog stroll with my darling sister and my favourite pooch in the world.

The weather was cool and refreshing which was ever so pleasant.

After heading home, we decided to go on a paint hunt.  I am redecorating my room and Loz is keen to help, I am most grateful for this.

I am undecided of what colour paint to pick.  I am toying with the idea of pale pink and grey together.  I am currently loving that combination of colour.

My room currently has been officially paint-tested.  It looks a bit like a cave man has painted all over my walls but at the moment I like the colour combination.

Kerry came and investigated the colour choice too.  I love how everyone is so keen in helping me decorate my room, haha.  I think she approved so let the painting commence!

Since Kerry had the day off we decided to make some muffins.  Apparently, we have taken to baking every weekend.  This counteracts the conversation we had the previous evening regarding both of us going on a diet.  Hmm.

We decided to invent our own variety of muffin.  Malteser muffins!  In writing this sounded like an idea that couldn't possibly fail.  Well, apparently maltesers melt and disappear to nothing when cooked.  Who would have thought? Haha.  Our muffins didn't look much like muffins either.  Never mind though, they still tasted good.

We then decided to be complete music geeks and have a jamming session.  Kerry on piano and me on flute.  We came across some rag time music and spent about 2 hours practicing Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag".

We aren't quite up to this speed yet but we are working on it!

We then decided to increase our diet rebellion by ordering takeaway pizza.  If you're going to rebel, best to do it properly, right?

We scoffed and watched X-factor and then... Phil Collins!

A fabulous day.  More please.

I figured that I don't write enough about music on my blog. Especially considering I teach it all day, then rehearse in the evenings, go to piano lessons and the like... So I thought I would mix two of my favourite past times - fashion and music.

So this is my fabulous piano. I bought it last summer. It has been well played by me already. You wouldn't think it was made in 1979, would you? I think it's beautiful and although it cost me a lot of pennies, it will be with me for my whole life.

I am currently learning "The Heart Asks Passion First" which is the main theme from the film "The Piano". It is a beautiful piece by Michael Nyman.

This is what I wore yesterday evening:

Skirt - River Island, Top, tights and belt - Primark, Ankle boots - New Look

I wore this just to the local pub but I was dressed rather boring at school so felt the need to dress prettily. Plus, I had just got back from a trampolining session and needed to feel a bit less ick.

I am getting so inspired reading other people's blogs. I find them fascinating. I can't help but nose at other people's style.

I think I should probably write about what my friends wear more as they inspire me the most. I like that we all have our own styles yet they can still influence what I wear. There are aspects of their styles which look amazing on them but wouldn't suit me at all. I think that's the main reason I love fashion - every gets to be as unique as they want to be.

Until next time.

Over and out x
