Okay so I got my hands on a piccolo. Some of you may know I'm a flutist, and to those who don't know, well, now you do.

     I got the piccolo to use (not keep) from my dad's co-worker and my mom's personal trainer client on Friday, December 18. In an hour, I figured out how to position the head joint (mouthpiece) in order to make sounds. I also figured out that it is a whole octave (look it up) higher than my flute, which is just a bit weird. But now I can threaten to kill people's ears! Haha, not really. That would be horrid.

     Now I can't wait for break to be over so I can talk to my band instructor about it. I'm really excited, if you can't tell! ♬ ♫ ♪

     I didn't know how much I would love the piccolo and being able to play one. Also, since I had never touched/played/seen a real life piccolo, I was surprised to find out it had no foot joint. Some keys don't work as they should, but I'm still really excited about the oppertunities, since I don't think my school has a piccolo to lend it's flute players. I'm also nervous about the oppertunities, since I have a hard time counting, and generally feel the music and rhythm instead of counting with it. I keep tempo though. Heh. Heheh. ^_^"

     I know a lot of you are probably wondering what on earth I am so happy about, but I don't really care right now ~

     Also, that piccolo is from the same maker as my flute. Yay!
