My last post was going to be about music I found at the Book Cafe. However, it turned into a rant about language and how much it's changed over the last 25 years... must apologise about that (or not).
Well, this post is what I was going to write about: music score. I went to the Book Cafe at Garden City and found myself some music for a fife I have owned for years. However, I have never had any music for it before. So, how pleased was I when I found it sitting there for 2/6? Yeah, it's that old it didn't have a price which was in the metric system. Very cool!
This music book wasn't for my Scout Fife, but for another brand; but they all look the same and are made from similar materials. So, I thought it would be good to have some music for my fife to learn how to play it at least. So, $5.00 later, I had it in my possession; and I'm looking forward to having a go at it in the New Year.
Then, I found some flute music. I have lost my original flute music from when I was in primary and high school, so I'm slowly getting together my music books for my flute again. It's expensive, but it will keep me playing and reading the music for years to come. The book I bought is one I don't have and so it's all new to me from when I was in high school; so it'll be good to play other works. This book was also $5.00.
So, I scored two books for $10 on musical score. Very cool. Not bad for a day's hunting in a second-hand book store, if I do say so. So, what have you found musically recently which you never thought you'd find? Until my next post, happy reading.
