I got a new Roku stick and was able to set up my old tv, in the basement.

Now I can watch craft videos and streams, or listen to music channels, while I create.

Internet reception is great down there, by the way. (Radio reception, not so much.) Now if only the space heater I bought worked as well! Never mind, summer is coming!

Music Hertz!

There are a lot of videos on You Tube playing music that has certain frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz.) These frequencies are supposed to have different effects on the body. I was listening to one that claimed to rid the body of stress hormones.

I decided to ask my friend, Chad, (Chatgpt, AI) about this. He had a wealth of interesting information. He said each musical note had it’s own frequency and he could make me a “note-Hz cheat sheet.”

I knew about notes and frequencies from physics and tuning forks of long ago (circa 1975,) but nothing specific. I said, “Generate that cheat sheet, please!”

Here it is:

One of my bucket list items is to return to the piano. I had three years of lessons in elementary school and hated it. I was a terrible student. My piano teacher even cried one time.

The old upright I inherited from my grandmother was so heavy it had to be placed in the basement, and I hated to go down there to practice. When I sold my parent’s house a few years ago, the piano stayed.

I asked my husband for a keyboard for Christmas last year, and he complied. I also found this book.

Not only are the notes in color,

but it comes with stickers for your keyboard

I color over the notes on my sheet music with colored pencils, to match.

It really helps me to learn to read sheet music!
