Practice Pressure

Standard

Mei-Shun often makes mistakes on Ms. Piano, even in her favorite “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy. When she concentrates well, finger movement and key positions seem to melt into melodies flowing smoothly. However, sudden stops force her to read scores again. She wonders which key a note means, writes down sharps or flats with a pencil stub.

Traumatic Träumerei

Standard

Lunar March starts from today. Before Mei-Shun got injured in a finger, she had played a moonlight score composed by Master Debussy first rather than another by M. Beethoven. However, last week heard opposite turn while followed by “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” as usual. Oh, Master Schumann appeared from below — she would practice some looking easy yet not.

Little Laborer

Standard

Mei-Shun’s left pinkie seems to have 90% recovered. Almost no pain any more, she tried Ms. Piano last night after dancing with Mr. White Mocha. Smallest among five, it hardly works alone while helps others a lot. Especially when she holds heavy items like Mr. Sirius — her hands lift it onto his back with all 8 larger family members balanced well by 2 babies.

Oops, Ouch

Standard

Mei-Shun’s left little finger is 1.5 times in size from last night. It was her awful mistake to put it on open boot of Ms. Scarlet while taking off horsey riding boots. Its basculle door silently came down, pressed such a tiny part that felt like a thunderbolt. Shin kindly ordered her favorite food delivery. Ms. Piano, you would sing with her right hand only for a time.

Cute Collection

Standard

Mei-Shun has put scores of “Habanera” and “La Cinquantaine” under her favorite “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy, thanks to 3-month practice. Their melody began to flow, allowed to join others including “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” for Shin. It is perhaps eyes and fingers who learn which keys should be pressed, ears and brain memorize harmony.

Crystal Cats

Standard

Mei-Shun practiced above today, piled right-hand on Ms. Piano. She has chosen left molehill including “Clair de Lune”, “Habanera” and “La Cinquantaine” since the end of last year, almost forgot to play scores composed by Master Chopin except for ” Lento con gran espressione”. One of the reasons is a gift from Shin, normally put on a book of M. Beethoven suites.

Windy Wing

Standard

… she really has. 2 works Mei-Shun purchased at Kaori-san’s exhibition in Kyoto finally arrived. The latter calls this girl “ハイイロ髪” or grey hair, while the former silver; she prefers shiny expression leading to her fluffy daughter. Her emerald eyes appear in green clothes, lets mom feel satisfied. Smaller one would stay on a dining table, the other bigger lid of Ms. Piano.

Dew Drops

Standard

They seemed, yet icy in early morning. It is Shin who normally drives to the nearest station, Mei-Shun replaces him toward home. Stormy weather covers almost all of us today, prevented many including above wife from going outdoors. Well, Ms. Piano is waiting for her. Oh, brilliant 十三夜 moon appears over there. Did you hear them sing for you?

Current Count

Standard

This is the last day of Mei-Shun at her present age. She and Mikan-chan would like to convey millions of thanks to you kind 512 followers for joining them so far. Here is their promise to continue efforts; dance with horsey, piano practice, kimono care, health keeping, etc. If they could help you to smile and relax a bit, it would let them step forward further.
