As a very young musician, it is very hard to understand the concept of why we are forced to practice all these scales, practice slowly or to learn ugly etudes which we will never perform, when it seems to a youthful mind to go against the whole reason we wanted to play an instrument in the first place.

Mostly this problem is contained in the fact that the US makes it so difficult for Canadians to get green cards (you heard it here), but if an American orchestra really wants a player, they have their ways.

The Guad is in extraordinary condition, practically never having had a scratch or crack, and is beautiful to look at as well as to play.

I will admit that the apparent lack of clothing is surprising and perhaps new for a classical CD, but for this cover to be compared to other garish, tawdry covers is rather ridiculous.

A good example of how it must have been is today's world of conducting, which is still utterly dominated by men, and the prejudice the few female conductors have to battle even today is astounding.

Music is art, art is life, and we are who we are, and all of these aforementioned women, unless they should choose not to, will be performing well into the next many decades because they are great artists.

The main mistake made by grownups in this matter is, in my opinion, the underestimation of children's capacity to understand.

What is classical music if not the epitome of sensuality, passion, and understated erotica that popular music, even with all of its energy and life, cannot even begin to touch?

For many years, the government of Canada has massively supported orchestras and the arts in general.

Ergo, because of the money problem, it is probable that our orchestras will soon go down in quality.

A few weeks ago, Calgary Symphony went bankrupt.

As I have often pontificated, I never write a commentary about a review unless there is a factual gaffe.

Historically, the notes of scale systems anywhere have been based on these pure harmonics.

The crux of this problem is tied in with the tax situation, in my opinion. Canada does not give tax deductions to patrons of the arts!

Another thing: despite my youthful appearance, I am quite capable of making decisions.

At 8 years old I went down a hill in France on a bike without brakes and smashed my head into a brick wall at about 40 MPH.

I see no reason to hide who I am or what I look like.

Apparently someone somewhere is looking out for me, but I sort of wish they could do so a few split seconds earlier.

As for me, I am six feet tall and junoesque with long blond hair.

The concept is basically; that the pieces we know and love are made up of scales, arpeggios, and the like.
