Just one month has passed since Mei-Shun decided to practice “La Cinquantaine” and “Habanera” every time she opens Ms. Piano lid. That resulted in much better flow of melodies, gives her joy of finger singing. After such a pleasure, Mikan-chan and her mom got on Ms. Scarlet to achieve another with horseies. However, several drops from white sky turned into a shower.

Opposite Option
StandardI and mom were forced to cancel a lesson at our horsey riding club; we heard heatstroke alert again, 4th and consecutive. We therefore stay home all day long, see her implement 晴耕雨読=work outdoors on sunny days, study by textbooks indoors during rainy ones. Or a bit wrong since she learns Portuguese in scorching time, dances with Mr. Marumorita if clouds give cooler wind.

Gentle Green
StandardThanks a lot, guardian N-chan for your kind looking on Mei-Shun who found No. 47 吉=lucky omikuji lot for herself yesterday. Please listen, Dr. W gave her 2 compliments; she is fair-skinned, while looks slim, thanks to a tight dress in brown perhaps. “Such an insect bite stands out on your arm”, that tender lady said. Weight control is going fine even if no dance with horseies.
Largo Lines
Standard“Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel was inducted into Mei-Shun’s Hall of Fame: she means to include it among relatively slow scores played before Shin’s favorite “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Master J. S. Bach. Other great composers also helps her with “Le Cygne”, “La Cinquantaine”, “Habanera”, “L’harmonie des anges”, “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte”, etc.
Dear Dad
StandardMei-Shun normally sings with Ms. Piano alone. She enjoys it of course, while practice is for performance on stage. Her dance in kimono is a kind of the same as the one with horseies: grade 3 of riding technique certificate requires applicants to put on white in blouse and pants, black in jacket, long boots and helmet. By the way, she often touches wrong keys when the only audience listens beside.
Tough Third
StandardMei-Shun’s favorite sumo wrestler came back toward 土俵 ring. He started rikishi career from 三段目, his current and 3rd-time rank experienced so far. Seriously injured left knee during last summer 名古屋場所, surgery, rehabilitation, 稽古 practice allowed his physical return. “Family, my stable master and mates, fans give me mental support”, the 31-year-old commented after his 3rd win today.
Ms. Mistakes
StandardWhen Mei-Shun practice “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte” composed by Master M. Ravel, she always felt somehow weird in a bar: main melody sounds like interrupted by obbligato on the same key. She therefore tried removing it, then immediately lost control a bit in right hand. Even a poor player might have little eyes on each fingertips, while reading scores by real ones.
Enough Energy
StandardMs. T, previous “doctor” for Ms. Piano gave Mei-Shun a phone call the other day. She kindly gave private numbers, allowed the latter client to contact her directly next time. By the way, “Kanon” composed by Master Pachelbel is intensely practiced these days. It replaces finger exercise and leads toward M. Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” if she is too tired to play more scores.
Year after Year
StandardMei-Shun decided to continue her current course in horsey riding; one more year precisely. Her body has learned how to dance on that beautiful animal little by little, while not yet reached the goal to feel relaxed by it. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, her mom’s weight is well controlled these days thanks to kind Ms. Y, who recommended intensive classes and energetic Ms. S, her main instructor.
Amicable Angels
StandardToday’s partner of Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun was Mademoiselle Angel. She reminds the latter of “L’harmonie des anges” composed by Master Burgmüller. The other day its melody suddenly stopped flowing on Ms. Piano. Such accidents in simple scores often occur, let a poor player repeat practice. Would you agree, a 3rd crescent who looks like an eye open a little?
