back into the practice this week. I took a couple of weeks off after my performance exam, so I've got to get a bit of practice up before my final lesson for the year on december 6.

My teacher and I have started to choose my repetoir for next year. He will be choosing some Bach for me, and We'll be doing Mozart 4. I've already got Suk Appassionato under my fingers (getting it together with the piano might be a different problem), so it's just one more piece and I should be able to go for my AMus next year.

I've applied for another job (Currently working night fill at k-mart and delivering pizzas). This one is teaching violin at a music center up north. They asked for some experienced teachers, I'm not sure how well i'll do there, and i have no formal qualifications at the moment, but the guy I talked to who was taking down details said that it sounded pretty good. I'll just wait to be called back now. I wouldn't mind getting some teaching experience.

Well, time to go do some practice.
