      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
      "A clown is a comic performer who employs slapstick or similar types of physical comedy, often in a mime style."
      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
      "Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western culture, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a more precise term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad span of time from before the 6th century AD to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods.[1] The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.
      Contents
      1 Overview
      2 .....

      Overview
      European art music is largely distinguished from many other non-European classical and some popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 11th century.[2][3] Catholic monks developed the first forms of modern European musical notation in order to standardize liturgy throughout the worldwide Church. Western staff notation is used by composers to indicate to the performer the pitches and durations for a piece of music.[2] In contrast to most popular styles that adopted the song (strophic) form or a derivation of this form, classical music has been noted for its development of highly sophisticated forms of instrumental music such as the symphony, concerto, fugue, sonata, and mixed vocal and instrumental styles such as opera, cantata, and mass.[4] Alongside traditional musical attributes, Classical music is conscientious about drawing from and re-purposing its formal and social tradition with forms such as the Mass evolving and communicating through over a thousand years.[5]
      The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to distinctly canonize the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Ludwig van Beethoven as a golden age.[6] The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1829.[1][7]"

    Fiverr tho, $5 for 30min? $20 for 60 min? It's a steal. Though, I guess virtual lessons aren't always as good. I certainly started at $20 for a 60min group piano lesson when I was 5 or 6, but by the time I was doing grade 8 pr 9 RCM I was paying above $100 for one-on-one.

I enjoy chamber music as well. I watched a documentary on Janine Jensen I love that woman she conveys so much emotion into her playing I thought it was not real at first. I love to listen to her play however, watching her perform adds an additional dimension. So this 71 year old is hooked. I watch building, repair and setup violin videos. I was a drummer for 35+ years nightclubs to bowling banquets only a few years full time. House band at a large fiction center 3 to 4 weddings a weekend I have eaten more stuffed chicken dinners than you could imagine. Well a new channel violin subscribed. Thanks
