Octonauts Theme + a question for the people
Octonauts! To the description! I have a few questions...
'ello!
Some of this arrangement is a bit wonky sounding. oops.
So, as some of you might know, I'm having a bar mitzvah in September! A bar/bat mitzvah is a Jewish coming-of-age ceremony.
Alongside with learning many many prayers, leading the congregation, and putting up with people you barely know because they want to give their congrats, you also must have a mitzvah project.
A mitzvah, technically, means a commandment. But it is also a good deed. It is a mitzvah to read from the Torah, the Jewish bible.
Some people, for their mitzvah project, choose to raise money. Someone I know led services for synagogues at nursing homes. I'm doing something very similar-- playing cello at a nursing home.
So, my question for you: What are some good cello solos or duets? What do you think older people would enjoy? That isn't crazy hard?
Please give some suggestions :)
(ALSO! I am working on a project right nowβa book. Novel. Whatever. If you have any tips for outlining or the actual writing they would be very much appreciated!)
Love you all ;3

π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@endaisandalwayswillbebetter I do! My family does both Channukah and Christmas. But not religiously for Christmas. We don't go to church, but we do get a tree and give gifts
_parrotinteresting...
π~That Muffin Guy~π«βοΈMaybe arrange the Shafran and Tchaicovsky Cello Sonata In G minor into a cello duet? Sorry, I mean Rachmaninoff and Tchaicovsky.
βalso you could try asking around the first few times you play at the nursing home to see what people like, then find/create arrangements for those songs they like :)
βPEER REVIEW!!! it's extremly beneficial to the writing process
chez monsterβοΈπBrings back good and bad memories, one of those bad memories is of me when I was little and in the hospital becuz a dog bit me on the leg, I watched Octonauts to calm down,but then they slathered my leg in alcohol, and started sewing the wound. FUN TIMES!
βππβπΎ_ππβπβall I know is don't do the most overplayed piece aka canon in d by pachelbel
WillTheWizlockAlso good luck on your mitzvah project
WillTheWizlock@thegenderfairy also I love your tag
π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@willthewizlock omg thank you!!!
WillTheWizlockOctonauts was my brother's childhood! I'm definitely showing him this!
π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@willthewizlock its MY childhood lmao
AroundTheWorldI used to LOVE this show! Sounds great!
π»πΈπHyrulerπΉπβGreat arrangement! Also, I don't really know many cello solos for an event like this, but I do like The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens, the original is hard, but you can always find(or make) and arrangement
ThatOneSentientWormWhoWearsAShoeForAHatWell, I would first find some good songs that are related to the Jewish tradition. You have flat [Citation Needed], so you can compose the song into Cello. Also, Octonauts is objectively the best show of my childhood, tied closely with Team Umi Zumi. And Happy Bar Mitzvah. I am having my sixteenth this month.
π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@narblo52 it wouldn't necessarily be a jewish place though. just a nursing home :)
16! so old.... congrats :D
16! so old.... congrats :D
Albert E.H.πβ@narblo52 Oh, happy sweet sixteen! We were going to give my sister a quinceanera, but then 2020 happened.
ThatOneSentientWormWhoWearsAShoeForAHat@casset_tape Ah. Wouldn't call what I'm having a 'sweet sixteen,' but I get the sentiment.
Albert E.H.πβYO I LOVED THAT SHOW AS A KID! Also awesome, happy bar mitzvah! Um, try some old jazz for a cello duet, but I'm not a huge expert on that, so I dunno. Also, yes, I have so many tips, but maybe the best thing I can say in the least amount of words possible is research it. I've been researching writing for practically three years, and there's so much stuff to learn, so many articles and character charts to try, plot archetypes, the three p's(promise-progress-payoff). So yeah. Watch videos, read stuff. But, I guess that's really vague and might be overwhelming, so here's another thing. Don't get stuck researching for too long. I write as I'm researching, there's no point where you can just write and stop learning new ways to write-it's an ongoing thing. There's so many ways of doing things, don't start thinking that Stephen King's way of writing is the only way to write. There's no one way to write anything-try experimenting with different outlining methods and see what works for you. I've tried a couple, and some work. For a plot where they're traveling most of the time, like they're trying to get somewhere for a plot goal, I find it useful to draw a map and draw a line through it to represent the characters' path, and outline around that. But, there are also tons of other outlines, one I like is where you make it really simple and just figure out the following: Status quo, Developments, Crisis, and resolution. I like vague stuff like that for me to fill blanks in while writing the actual first draft-like leaving room for me to make stuff as I go along. But, if that makes you feel lost, you can always do a scene-by-scene outline like Jed Herne did for Thunder Heist. Anyways, point is, try different ways of writing and figure out what works for you-don't be afraid to do things differently. Okay wow that was way longer than I intended. Man.
π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@casset_tape woah. thanks!!!! :D
Albert E.H.πβ@thegenderfairy Didn't mean to single out Stephen King, I just know a lot of people have read his book On Writing, and then they think they have to pants an entire novel. That's just how his brain works, though, and other people's brains work differently.
π₯TTurkeyπ₯@casset_tape this is literally the longest comment I have ever seen by far
Albert E.H.πβ@tornadoturkey615 XD you obviously haven't met Quote, I didn't even reach the word-limit with that.
chez monsterβοΈπI loved this show(still do) and now my tiny cousin loves it too! But donβt know any cello solos
π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@chezisthebest best show fr
AquamiI LOVED this show when i was little! This is great! Try winter in largo for cello, it's a great piece.
π³ββ§ π± aRchi !! β π±@defenestration_is_interesting thanks! I'll take a look!
Coffeeno clue about any solos... or cellos for that matter. but, I do know about coffee
Nekdo StudiosI was about to suggest something before I saw "That isn't crazy hard" lol
Nekdo Studios@thegenderfairy yeah, I'll look up some on Musescore for you :D
βοΈBrokenβοΈI think Bachβs cello suite #1 would be good.
