Uncategorized cello, morning, practice, scales, weekend 3:08 pm
Woo-hoo! I finally got a chance to practice. With school stuff this whole weekend, I haven’t had a chance to actually sit down and practice. However, this morning was fabulous. I got to practice scales for a full 30min. Major, Harmonic AND Melodic. On the less good side, though, I didn’t get a chance to excersize this morning. So now I know where I’M going after school. Ugh.
TTYL!

Oh man, you know what’s super exciting? I just found out that the concert I’m playing at on Sun. is sold out — and the best part is that the theater I’m playing in seats around 800 people! This is like, the first time people are coming to my orchestra concerts because they want too!

Despite the rather ironic sounding title, this morning has actually been quite nice. Perfect temp, nice and sunny. Fabulous. Anyway, this weekend has been full of cello adventures. Saturday, I recieved a new piece from my cello teacher: Etude-Caprice by Goltermann. We’ll see how that goes. Also, on Sunday, I gave lesson to this little nine year old kid. Afterwards, I definitely had a lot more respect for my parents because of all the horrible music they had to listen to when I first started out. However, the kid is really great and I can’t wait for next week.
Also, I start a DSO (the orchestra I play with) marathon this week. Today I have a three hour rehearsal, followed by another three hour rehearsal on Wednesday. Then, there’s concert number one on Thursday, and another one on Sunday. Meanwhile, I have to squeeze in a cello lesson this week, go to chamber ensemble rehearsal, and give another lesson to that kid. All I can do now, is pray that my teachers will have mercy on me. :)
Anyway, I hope you all have fun this week. I know I will.

Well, at least for now. Anyway, since school’s started I’ve had a lot on my plate…especially since college deadlines are coming up soon. On the other hand, I’ve just been accepted into an adult regional orchestra even though I’m only 17, and that’s pretty exciting. Also, the chamber group I’m playing in now has eight members, and I found out today that I’m the principal cellist. Woo-hoo! However, I still have to create a CD of my playing for colleges, which means I have to email all 16 of them and ask if they want me to send them a CD. Ergh. The thought of it all is just so horrible.
