GET DOWN-WAY DOWN

No I’m not talking about doing the limbo. No i’m not talking about doing the blues street shuffle. Nor am I referring to dancing.

I don’t want to string you along, I will get right to the point. I want to make sure that you have perfect pitch in B-flat major.

Wait a moment. You need to go up an octave on your C string. Also check the strings to make sure they are in the groove on the bridge.

If you persistently play out of tune, do you think you’re going to get more than pennies? Don’t you want dollars, five dollars and $10 bills. Well if so, tune your viola for G-D’s sake.

You need the extra revenue to help your poor mom pay for your sustenance and tuition! Don’t let her down, be a good girl, play with enthusiasm and spirit and a big grin ,and of course, open your viola case wide to catch all that cash.

GET DOWN – WAY DOWN!
