Self-pimp for Sheet Music Buyers

I've been meaning to post this for ages and keep putting it off. 

As most of you know, I teach piano. By virtue of the honor of molding young minds (*cough*), the company I purchase sheet music through has set me up with a little store so that I can funnel purchases their direction and make a wee commission off of it.

So, if you're in the market for some piano/guitar/voice/etc. music, you can help support a fellow fangirl by using this link whenever you shop Sheet Music Plus. The web site won't look any different from their regular site (so, no identifying information that you've clicked correctly). And I won't get any details about your purchase except the state where the order ships to*. 

I'll even be happy to help you select appropriate music and, you know, earn the wee commission.

(*So you can buy all the Barry Manilow and Hannah Montana sheet music you want, and I will NEVER know)

You know, I can't smile without you. I can't smile without you. I can't dance, and I can't sing. I'm finding it hard to do anything..." lalalalala

*hides

*smooches

Soooo-eeeet!

At the moment, my sheet music purchases have been confined to Pianomals, but we may be ready to branch out soon. Are you going to put the link on your page?

nifty! I usually order through my local music store, but every now and again... so I'll keep you in mine.

Wish I knew about this when I ordered music for my choir. I'll keep it in mind next time I order music. :)

I will put it in 'memories' and if I need sheet music (as I sometimes do) I will use it. Do you have a lot of, er, old folk songs, Thomas Moore, war songs, etc? Did you know I used to teach music too, once?

Wow! (Almost) de ja vu.

Well, this seals it! I have been contemplating selling my flute for a couple months now but I can never bring myself to actually list it for sale. Honestly, I've pondered selling my flute several times over the years but again, just never really want to let it go. You see, I kind of love my flute - regardless of it's less than stellar reputation, or it's 'student' status (Gemeinhardt, M2, closed hole). I got it waaaayyyy back in 7th grade and I've always loved playing it, even some odd *mumbles* years later.

I was talking to a friend recently about how dumb it was to keep it since I haven't even had it out of the case since moving to this apartment - even on the low notes, a flute note just carries so well and in an apartment setting it's just really not practical to think I can get away with playing it without complaints from the neighbors. But then le friend pointed out that I could always take it with me when I go home and play it at the madre's house. I countered with "I play from memory, I don't even have sheet music anymore"....

And then here you are. With sheet music! :)

I feel this is a 'sign'. Or at least I'm going to say it is. :) I've already looked at the site and I'm thinking I'll start small, with some Christmas music, and go from there. It's been at least five years since I've even read any sheet music so probably best if I get a 'beginner' book as well just to make sure I remember what I'm reading. lol

I think I'll be taking my flute with me when I head home for Christmas this year. :D
