ahhhhh i finished a lot of my homework, espeically science. OH NO!!!!!! I FORGOT TO PLAY PIANO TODAY! shucks..it sucks. i slept for 3 hours and did chinese homework instead. now my mom's asleep...meaning i cant play. this sucks!!
i sorta did research on ivory coast. well, i skimmed through it. i'll look at it carefully tmw morning, and talk to my group in block A. i wonder if thanusan and kelly did any work? michael said he'll do some right when i asked him if he looked at it yet.
did u noe that piano is the shortened form of pianoforte, which comes from the latin phrase gravicèmbalo col piano e forte (literally harpsichord with soft and loud)? the first piano was built by Bartolomeo Cristofori, with the support of the Medici family. the 3 earliest pianos were built by him, and they survived into this century. the name of the pedals are: una corda, sostenuto and damper. i never use una corda and sostenuto...i have no idea what the symbol that indicates that i need them look like. as for damper, i use that a lot. everyone does.
