Arts & Humanities: Performing Arts: “Question: How do I easily read high notes with many ledger lines?” plus 5 more

Question: How do I easily read high notes with many ledger lines?

Posted: 12 Oct 2016 10:33 PM PDT

For instance, in the 24 caprices of Paganini, there are plenty of notes with 10 ledger lines above the treble staff. How do I read those notes quickly?

Is there any software or app that will train me in reading the notes quickly?

Question: Vegan diet?

Easy lunches:

Sandwiches
Salad
Soup/stew (in a thermos)
Tortilla wrap or pita pocket (falafel, hummus, veggies)
Pasta salad
Hummus and raw vegetables or crackers
Bean dip
Spring rolls with rice paper
Sushi
Sesame soba noodles (cold)
Fruit
Muffin
Bagel
Leftovers

Vegan meal ideas:

- Whole-wheat pasta with a meatless sauce, like marinara or pesto (easy to make, but if you buy a jar make sure it's cheese-less), and a salad. More sauce ideas: http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes...

- Pita pockets stuffed with falafel, hummus, and vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber).

- Chili made with beans, vegetables, and corn.

- Quesadillas, tacos, and burritos. Use beans and lots of veggies. You could even use vegan cheese, but avocado is also a good substitute.

- Pizza. All you need is crust (which can be homemade or store bought), sauce, and a lot of vegetables. Vegan cheese optional (homemade is best) or drizzle with olive oil. http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-reci...

- Vegan lasagna.

- Stir-fried vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, peppers, onions, zucchini, carrots, eggplant, any vegetable really), and tofu (extra firm) served over quinoa.

- Pad Thai.

- One bowl meal (grain, vegetables, protein). http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-a-q...

- Pasta (whole-wheat) with tomatoes, mushrooms, and black beans. I like to add textured vegetable protein (TVP) to this, which can be bought in bulk, but it's still good without.

- Chickpea curry with vegetables and brown rice (or quinoa!)

- Baked squash.

- Ramen noodle soup (NOT the garbage instant kind) with vegetables, mushrooms, and tofu/tempeh.

- Vegetable and quinoa (or brown rice) pilaf.

- A big salad with a source of protein (tofu, tempeh, chickpeas, nuts, seeds) and baked pita chips.

- Roasted eggplant.

- Vegetable pot-pie.

- Portobello mushroom or black bean burgers (very easy to make). http://vegetarian.about.com/od/maindishentreerecipes/r/BlackBeanBurger.htm

- Vegetable and lentil stew/soup.

- Blended soups (butternut squash, carrot, or broccoli, etc).

- Rice and beans.

- Pasta salad with vegetables and chickpeas (or other beans).

- Stuffed bell peppers or tomatoes (filled with rice, herbs, chopped onion & garlic)

- Sandwiches. (My favorite is a toasted whole-wheat bagel with mashed avocado, tomato slices, alfalfa sprouts, basil, and fresh-ground pepper.)

- Sushi, miso soup, vegetable tempura.

- Tempeh with roasted potatoes and vegetables.

Breakfast:

- Bran flakes or oats with almond milk, raisins/dried cranberries, cinnamon, ground flax seed, chia seeds, and hemp hearts (this is what I almost always eat for breakfast).

- Toast/bagel (whole/sprouted-grain) with peanut or almond butter, topped with banana slices.

- Fresh fruit with granola and/or almond yogurt.

- Fruit smoothie (frozen banana, almond/soy milk, plus some other fruit). Or even better, make it a "green smoothie" by adding a handful or two of fresh spinach!

- Scrambled tofu and diced vegetables with whole-grain toast, or wrapped in a soft tortilla with some hot sauce for a "breakfast burrito".

- Hash browns with onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc. (Add chickpeas for protein.)

- Chia seed parfait (http://ohsheglows.com/2015/07/22/basic-chia-seed-pudding/)

Vegan sources of protein:
Beans and other legumes - kidney, black, chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, peas...
Whole-grains - bagels, cereal, oats, bread, quinoa, barley, brown rice...
Soy-based foods - tofu, tempeh, milk
Seitan - wheat based, 75 g protein per 100g (150% of your daily intake)
Vegetables - Brussels sprouts, spinach, cauliflower, mushrooms, broccoli...
Nuts - almonds, cashews, pistachios, nut butters...
Seeds - pumpkin, chia, hemp, sunflower...
Avocado
Raisins
