Today's Question:
If you had 100 free music lessons - instrumental or vocal - at your disposal, would you take them yourself or give them away?
With my amazing total lack of musical ability 100 free music lessons would be wasted on me. Therefore I shall give them away.

If gifted, who to?
I do not have anyone to give the free lessons to. So, I shall leave them sitting on a park bench in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Hopefully they will find a good home.

If learning an instrument, which one?
If I actually had even a sliver of musical talent I would take piano lessons. But I do not so on to the next question.

From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in?
Since I have no idea who will find the lessons I left sitting on a park bench, I am completely clueless as to what style of music lessons they will be used for.

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be?
You will have to ask the student.


Bonus Question:
How are you with punctuation:
People come to me for help
I get by
Comma splices are my friends
The 4 years of required English I took in high school failed to have much impact on my punctuation abilities. At best I get by.


Foodie Question:
It's Apple Tree Day. So how do you like them apples?
Ssly, fresh or cooked, sweet or savory, how do you like apples?
They have to be cooked. My sister makes a cake that is loaded with apples that is very tasty.

Which kinds of apples do you like best?
I like apples without worms the best.


Just for fun:
Tell us one of your favorite episodes of:
SchoolHouse Rock?
No favorites.

The Brady Bunch?
That was a very annoying TV show. I would rather watch the test pattern for 30 minutes.

Another TV show?
The Jack Benny Show. My favorite episode was when he showed a reporter all of the safeguards protecting his vault in the basement.

Good morning!

Today's Question:
If you had 100 free music lessons - instrumental or vocal - at your disposal, would you take them yourself or give them away? I would split. Half for me, half for someone else!

If gifted, who to? Hubby, I suppose.

If learning an instrument, which one? Drums. I already had lessons but there's room for improvement.

From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in? I'm open to everything. I'm not a one-genre person.

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be?


Just for fun:
Tell us one of your favorite episodes of:
SchoolHouse Rock? Never seen
The Brady Bunch? Never seen
Another TV show? There are too many episodes of too many shows for me to choose one!

Today's Question:
If you had 100 free music lessons - instrumental or vocal - at your disposal, would you take them yourself or give them away? Oh, gosh..... You're assuming I have some musical talent. Wish it were true, but it's not. I will gift them to a grandchild.

If learning an instrument, which one? Whatever strikes his/her fancy.

From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in? Again, whatever genre there is an interest in. If I had any musical talent it would be jazz, blues or classical.

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be? It would be up to the child taking the lessons. I would have a difficult time choosing.



Bonus Question:
How are you with punctuation:
People come to me for help. Little people do anyway, since I'm a teacher.
I get by
Comma splices are my friends



Foodie Question:
It's Apple Tree Day. So how do you like them apples?
Srsly, fresh or cooked, sweet or savory, how do you like apples?
Freshly picked off a tree. I also love apple crisp.
Which kinds of apples do you like best?
Honeycrisp, Macoun


Just for fun:
Tell us one of your favorite episodes of:
SchoolHouse Rock?
The Brady Bunch?
Another TV show? Sorry, I've never watched much tv. When I have it's more like background noise. I rarely remember any episodes.

Happy day to you all!

Today's question only knows three chords, but it's having fun.


Today's Question:
If you had 100 free music lessons - instrumental or vocal - at your disposal, would you take them yourself or give them away? Poooooooor Mr. Ginnelli. I was such a terrible piano student.....

If gifted, who to? I'd give them to my daughter . She'd love to learn to play the guitar.


From opera to country and everything in between - what styles of music will the lessons mostly be in? whatever she wants. Do they teach heavy metal guitar ?

At the end of the hundred lessons, the student gets to perform a duet- instrumental or vocal - with the musician of their choice. Who do you hope it will it be? Maybe she could play with one of her groups. Silence of the Lambs, I think that might be one of them.



Bonus Question:
How are you with punctuation: pretty good. When I went to school in the 1800s, we had to punctuate properly. We would diagram sentences and all. I don't think they have done that in 40 years and I still don't know what the purpose was.



Foodie Question:
It's Apple Tree Day. So how do you like them apples?
Srsly, fresh or cooked, sweet or savory, how do you like apples? sweet.

Which kinds of apples do you like best? red delicious or Granny Smith


Just for fun:
Tell us one of your favorite episodes of:
SchoolHouse Rock?
I am not familiar with this show.

The Brady Bunch?
not a favorite really.... I was already too old, I think

Another TV show?
any of the old original Tonight shows which are not available I don't think.


Thanks for the questions and have a great Sunday, everyone
