Ohhhhhh my gosh.
They're rigging outdoor speakers and TV screens to project the concert outside.
They're talking about broadcasting.
They're asking for bios.
Heck, I'm a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD!!!
They could be accused of robbing the cradle.
Sure, everyone thinks I look like I should be in college, but I'm just a kid, really.
*sigh*

My first lesson since last May was today.
I gave my teacher a big hug.
He gave me some music to order.
In the meantime, it's a prescription of sustaining my bow and bowing out to fix me up.
With a dose of Bach and Kreisler before diving into some kabalevksy. Anyone played that? I've never even heard of it...he wants me to learn that before Scene de Ballet.

My friend was trying to convince me to play a BIG concerto this year. Like Scottish Fantasy. He doesn't seem to understand that although I could learn the notes and technique, I would rather play it to MASTER it PERFECTLY.

Okay, signing off to listen to those beautiful gymnopedies by Satie. gotta love em.
