So, I'm trying to write music for a poem/lyric I wrote 6 or 7 years ago. I did play piano until I was 14, so I generally know where Middle C is still, and even can manage to pick out G if I'm really on the ball.
But apparently I forgot that sharps are always on the right of the key they're attached to and flats are on the left. Suffice it to say, in writing down the notes I want for this little project, I got EVERY ONE of them BACKWARDS.
So, having spent a noisy hour driving the dogs nuts by playing the same set of notes again and again and again, I think I've got it down. Tomorrow if I get time, I'll actually notate them onto a score (right now I just have a list of incomprehensible notes that could probably not be played because you'd have to know that at some point in there I switched up to the next octave for some of the notes. No biggie.)
What I'm hoping (ha) is that I'll get them written down coherently enough to get them into an audio file with me singing along (I sing. Yes. Not as good as some people, not as bad as others.) Dunno why I want to embarrass myself like this, but for the moment I just do. It's keeping me busy and that's what I want I guess.
So, besides having note issues, I've got nothing else going on.
Ta,
Bec
