LibriVox recording of Miss Billy, by Eleanor H. Porter.

Mr. Neilson was determined to name his first child after his boyhood chum, William Henshaw. When the baby disappointed him by being a girl, he was consoled by naming her Billy. Miss Billy, now 18, orphaned and all alone in the world, takes her lawyer’s suggestion to ask her namesake to take her in. Only one little problem – Mr. Henshaw did not know of her existence, and then mistakenly thinks that Billy is a boy!
Eleanor H. Porter was an early 20th century author of children’s literature and novels. Her most well known book was “Pollyanna” and it’s sequel, “Pollyanna Grows Up”. (Summary by Maria Therese).

Yoga for Musicians English Piano Teacher Free Audio Classes Adults Children.

hi tail tellers welcome to our first proper yoga for musicians session this is just an introductory session today really i want to tell you how important and beneficial yoga can be to musicians specifically look yoga is beneficial to everybody but it's particularly beneficial to musicians for a couple of reasons the most sort of obvious i guess is the physical um impact that yoga can have on our bodies and the ability to alleviate stress which can be physically manifested you know panic i'm talking about panic here but also posture posture is incredibly important to musicians and if you've spent your life over a piano or hunched while you're performing your with your cello i'm a cellist and pianist so i particularly understand about those instruments but most musicians are guilty of hours and hours of practice in incorrect positions and it's just who we are and then what happens is we we're not only in a bad position where our core is challenged and then our muscles are challenged and finally our bones are challenged to the point of arthritic conditions we're also seizing up but the other thing is musicians we are so in love with our instruments and so in love with making music that we don't have a cutoff point and most musicians will just plow through the pain so it gets to a certain stage when you know we've all done this we've all been absolutely really thirsty but we've just um you know we just embarked on a six-hour practice and i've done it i've done it i've been so thirsty and i thought i'm just going to play this through one more time and i haven't even gone and got a drink of water so part of these yoga sessions will be really about trying to remind you that you you need to before you get thirsty for example and before you feel pain and before you have any of the signs of stress that you already prevent them occurring because prevention is better than cure okay it's really important that you don't wait until your body is trying to tell you and actually when it's too late so how we start with musicians yoga at telltale club is we learn how to breathe okay and breathing is such an integral part of yoga now i've got a really exciting connection for cellists um i don't i'm not sure if it works with violinists because i don't hold a violinist bow but it may do but it def it's so cool this connection if you take your on your right hand it's your bowing hand if you take your middle finger and your fourth finger and you curl them round and you take your thumb and you curl that round and if you bring them together that's pretty much how you would hold your bow now let's do some yoga breathing and see what happens what i want you to do is i want you to put your full fourth finger and your middle finger on your left hand nostril and i want you to draw breath in on a count of four and then let it out slowly on a count of eight

through your mouth

now the interesting thing about this is you're going to use your thumb in alternate breathing so you're going to do four breaths on the left in and out through your mouth and then four with your thumb now what's so fantastic is that this positioning over your nose is almost identical to how you would hold your bow and you wouldn't push hard into your nose or your nostril would you and the third and fourth finger you don't use the tips they're rather flattened against your nostril this is exactly how we wrap our hand around the frog of the cellist's bow how cool is that it's absolutely brilliant this connection anyway back to the yoga so four breaths in through the nostril and out through the mouth really slowly and then the alternate nostril now what you'll find is by doing this you begin to calm down so i recommend i mean you can do more than four each side if you want to do this you can actually do this for a very long time you could do it for 10 minutes and you could almost...

hi tail tellers welcome to our first proper yoga for musicians session this is just an introductory session today really i want to tell you how important and beneficial yoga can be to musicians specifically look yoga is beneficial to everybody but it's particularly beneficial to musicians for a couple of reasons the most sort of obvious i guess is the physical um impact that yoga can have on our bodies and the ability to alleviate stress which can be physically manifested you know panic i'm talking about panic here but also posture posture is incredibly important to musicians and if you've spent your life over a piano or hunched while you're performing your with your cello i'm a cellist and pianist so i particularly understand about those instruments but most musicians are guilty of hours and hours of practice in incorrect positions and it's just who we are and then what happens is we we're not only in a bad position where our core is challenged and then our muscles are challenged and finally our bones are challenged to the point of arthritic conditions we're also seizing up but the other thing is musicians we are so in love with our instruments and so in love with making music that we don't have a cutoff point and most musicians will just plow through the pain so it gets to a certain stage when you know we've all done this we've all been absolutely really thirsty but we've just um you know we just embarked on a six-hour practice and i've done it i've done it i've been so thirsty and i thought i'm just going to play this through one more time and i haven't even gone and got a drink of water so part of these yoga sessions will be really about trying to remind you that you you need to before you get thirsty for example and before you feel pain and before you have any of the signs of stress that you already prevent them occurring because prevention is better than cure okay it's really important that you don't wait until your body is trying to tell you and actually when it's too late so how we start with musicians yoga at telltale club is we learn how to breathe okay and breathing is such an integral part of yoga now i've got a really exciting connection for cellists um i don't i'm not sure if it works with violinists because i don't hold a violinist bow but it may do but it def it's so cool this connection if you take your on your right hand it's your bowing hand if you take your middle finger and your fourth finger and you curl them round and you take your thumb and you curl that round and if you bring them together that's pretty much how you would hold your bow now let's do some yoga breathing and see what happens what i want you to do is i want you to put your full fourth finger and your middle finger on your left hand nostril and i want you to draw breath in on a count of four and then let it out slowly on a count of eight

through your mouth

now the interesting thing about this is you're going to use your thumb in alternate breathing so you're going to do four breaths on the left in and out through your mouth and then four with your thumb now what's so fantastic is that this positioning over your nose is almost identical to how you would hold your bow and you wouldn't push hard into your nose or your nostril would you and the third and fourth finger you don't use the tips they're rather flattened against your nostril this is exactly how we wrap our hand around the frog of the cellist's bow how cool is that it's absolutely brilliant this connection anyway back to the yoga so four breaths in through the nostril and out through the mouth really slowly and then the alternate nostril now what you'll find is by doing this you begin to calm down so i recommend i mean you can do more than four each side if you want to do this you can actually do this for a very long time you could do it for 10 minutes and you could almost...
