Ohh okay. I got to write that as a note too haha. :)

Hmm A, B, C, D, E, F, G?

You're absolutely correct, Shiang, and you're making much progress here! :)

Hopefully, we will be on at the same time tonight. I'm just checking in for now.

Thanks!

All right! Haha.

I won't be here again until Tuesday, for I have a few benchmarks to study for. :(

Okay, I understand!

I actually haven't been on here in the last few days because I've been in the hospital for health reasons and just got back home, Friday evening.

I'm back home now, and look forward to working with you again, when you have the time!

What's a "benchmark"?

Thanks!

Hope you are better. :)

A benchmark is a test that is a collection of all the class learned for a quarter. Our year is split into quarters.

Hi, Shiang!

I'm better, but still not as good as I could be!

Thanks!

Are you able to spend any time here online right now?

If not, I do understand...

Thanks!

I can spend a little bit of time tonight. :)
About until 10:30pm my time.

Hi, Shiang!

I'm just now noticing your post here! Sorry! So, it's probably too late for you to be online here.

I hope that your benchmark test went really well! :)

Haha that is okay.

Thank you, Clough! :)

How did your benchmark test go?

Thanks!

The benchmark was all right haha. It wasn't difficult but, it wasn't really fun. :)

I'm sorry that I haven't been around here for awhile Shiang! Will be on more now, though.

That's all right.
I'll be online more as well because I am on spring break. :)

You're on here awfully late!

Yup
I'm about to get to sleep though, so have a goodnight :)

Yeah, I need to get to bed soon also. Have you spent some time studying the things on those music websites where I posted the links?

Okay, I can see that you're now logged off from here.

I wish for you a goodnight also! :)

I'm online right now and will for a few hours. :)

I just got online here now, Shiang. I'm sorry that I missed you earlier tonight!

I asked you a question in post #257 above...

Oh sorry. I overlooked it on accident. But I haven't really this week, instead I was working on a class project.

Please do study the things on those websites. It will enable us to move along faster here and I'm sure that you will be able to play your song and other pieces of music because of the knowledge that you'll have gained.

I know that your schoolwork comes first. That's really important!

Thanks!

Of course school first. :)
Okay, I made some print outs so I can take with me to study today.

Okay, that's cool! I'll look forward to working with you at some point in the near future then!

Thanks! :)

Haha hopefully really soon. :)

I have a question though, I haven't found a section about those funky looking notes. What are those ones that look like several notes stacked on top of each other?

Hello?

Hi again, Shiang!

I haven't forgotten about you! I've just been really busy. I'm not sure what you're asking about here? Do you mean the notes on the Grand Staff or just notes by themselves?

Thanks!

Hi, Bree-Anna!

Did you start your own thread about writing a song? I would be glad to help you!

Thanks!

Did I lose you, Shiang?

No I've been super busy lately. There is the state testing and plenty of projects to come with them. :(

I meant these crazy notes here. :)

Well hello, Shiang!

Those are chords. You would play them with your left hand.

Hello Clough.

Ohh so that's what they're called. Thank you. :)

See? You learned something else! I just a couple of new students close to where I live. One of them plays the piano and the other one plays the violin. There father has 18 children! 12 of them are still at home with him.

How is it that you were able to just save, as an image, a portion of the music that I wrote for you, please?

Thanks!

Yep! Wow that's very many children to take care of. I even find it hard enough taking care of only three of my sisters!

Oh um I used photoshop to cut off a piece of the image, since the computer I'm using doesn't have paint or anything else to do it.

I don't have Photoshop, but several other free programs that I like to use. I'm going to see if I can do that same thing with at least one of them.

How is your dancing coming along?

Thanks!

I like photoshop for all the file save options it gives me as well as it's resizing feature. What programs do you use?

Dancing is all right, nothing new. There's a lot of sitting around lately since we're staging all the dances for our performance in May.

The two photo editing software that I like to use the most are Irfanview and Pixia.

Those two names above, are links to the sites for them.

If you're staging the dances, why is there a lot of sitting around? Might it be because of waiting for others to be choreographed and staged while you have to wait for your part to come?

Pixia looks like a good program for something free. :) I'd use Opencanvas, but it's not mac supported.

Well, sitting and standing around. One because we have to be placed around, run it a few times, stand some more while it's being adjusted. And yes while waiting for my part to come while others are being staged.

That's what I figured concerning the dancing... I've been in over 40 musical theater productions, either on the stage as an actor or in the pit orchestra.

Is Opencanvas free?

Woow that's a lot! I didn't know you did acting?

Version 1 I think, is free now. The rest if the um retired? Ones I'm not sure of yet.
