In a Nutshell

Venerable symphony invites audiences to the beautiful Jones Hall for three concerts from its classical and pops series

The Fine Print

The best concerts have lots of pyrotechnics, which is why classical pianists always wear asbestos pants. Insulate yourself from boredom with this GrouponLive deal to the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall. Choose between the following options:

  • For $99, you get one ticket for Level 3 orchestra seating at three concerts of your choice (up to a $223 value, including all fees).
  • For $174, you get two tickets for Level 3 orchestra seating at three concerts of your choice (up to a $439 value, including all fees).

Tickets are valid for any combination of the following concerts:

Originally founded in 1913, the Houston Symphony has established a luminous history with the help of such conducting greats as Leopold Stokowski, Ferenc Fricsay, and Sir John Barbirolli. Now under the seasoned leadership of world-renowned baton wielder Hans Graf, the symphony continues to indulge ears with concerts of well-known standards and little-known gems. Halfway through its 2012–13 season, the group turns its sights toward upcoming classical concerts including Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. The famed ballet's second musical suite kicks off with the umbral "Montagues and Capulets," whose dissonant opening chords part for a tender pianissimo before trombone blasts plod through a sinister string melody.

Under the swaying baton of Michael Krajewski, the symphony offers lighter fare in its series of pops concerts. Cavanaugh Sings Elton John and More features youthful singer and pianist Michael Cavanaugh, reprising the hits of the rainbow-bespectacled pop wonder.

The Groupon Guide to: Typing Techniques

In grade schools, children are taught one way to type on a computer keyboard—with their hands and not at all with their tiny, perfectly suited for typing toes. Here are some other typing techniques not taught in America's learning rooms:

Hunt and Peck: One of the slower typing methods, it involves the typist "hunting" for each letter individually and then "pecking" the letter with a long cane.

Touch Typing: The same as the standard typing technique, but instead of touching the keyboard, let the keyboard touch you.

Fast Fingers: Standard typing technique, but a little bit faster.

Fancy Fingers: Pretty much the same as "fast fingers," but a little bit slower, and your fingers dance upon the keys like a dainty woman’s feet upon a wet dance floor.

No Fingers: Just throw a rock at the keyboard until you hit the key you want. If you end up breaking the keyboard, buy a new one and start over with a smaller rock.

I'm so proud of my son. He learned how to type with a cane.
