I did it!!!
Well, today I got around to making a little 'Music Studio' brochure on Microsoft Publisher! I wanted to have something to give to people if anyone is interested in taking lessons from me. I have two little piano students, as you know, and I wouldn't mind having another and/or a flute student or two. I would feel ever so much more comfortable knowing that I can teach flute just as well. :) So, I had to come up with a name, and I thought 'X Music Studio' sounded, good, but I had to figure out what the 'X' was going to be, lol. I decided that allitteration with 'Studio' would fall prettily upon the ear, so I looked up a music terms dictionary online. "Okay, which one of these 'S' terms sounds good? I came up with either 'Symphonia' or 'Siciliano', the latter also translating 'Siciliana' or Sicilienne'. Now it was decision time.
Symphonia means Consonance in Greek, and is a term for instruments that make more than one sound at a time, and something else, and the three 'Sicili-' words have something to do with an aria and singing, and recitation and poetry. [Thankyou Virginia Tech Multimedia Music Dictionary]
So, neither meaning really makes the choice for me, so what sounds best? Hmm. Sicilienne!!! :D So, I decided to go with 'Sicilienne Music Studio'! Sounds great, eh? I thought so.
