Mozart to Motown

August 26, 2007 at 3:27 AM

A crazy week for playing-10 Mozart church sonatas on Tuesday, an all-Motown Symphony Pops on Friday, and then a run-out concert which was essentially a reception gig. I had to stay up late/get up early almost every night this week to complete school related materials. My 8th graders got switched back to an A/B block, so it's back to 90 minutes on alternate days (listening examples just got longer for my particular class of 31). There is much more to that story, but I'll get in trouble if I discuss it here. Some students found out they might actually have to practice before their next shifting quiz. Elementary classes are going well as they begin twinkling away on open strings. As a parent, I survived ferrying daughters to pre-ballet class between school and a gig, kindergarten homework, and a minor uniform crisis. And just now, the cat didn't really mean to slice my left hand when she launched off of me. Now it's time to crash, as my magical hope of getting to sleep late on the weekend has never materialized.
