Jobs, Goals, practice.

Remember that job I talked about? Middle of september? I eventually decided to call them up, and just see what it would involve. The manager had since decided that it would be good to have a number of positions filled by people with specific skills, as opposed to one person who would probably have to learn a number of things. So I've now got a new job which should give me more hours than my current one (which means more money, especially since they pay more). The goal is that I work a large amount of hours over the holidays so that come late january/early febuary I can start looking for a good bow to replace my really cheap one that I've held onto for far too long.

I've decided that this morning I want to start a Piano Trio. I've fell in love with one of the Brahms Piano Trios, and want to see if I can put it together to play in my recital at the end of next year. Would be grand - the first movement is just soooo lovely. The first trio - Op. 8. Go listen to it... just sublime.

Practice - something I need to be doing more of - is happening. Working on my Mozart at the moment. Would like to get it to performance standard for the last concert practice of the year, as it would be nice to get a performance of it in there.

I've got a date set for a public concert which will support a charity that I'm involved in. November 13 will see me (and a few friends) put on a concert in the city to allow me to not only get some extra performance practice of my pieces for my exam (the day after) but get my name and face out there :) plus raise funds for (in my opinion) an extreemly important organisation.

But anyway, it's morning, and I'm hungry, need to have breakfast.

Congratulations on your new job. Less time, more money -- can't beat that. I hope that your performance at the benefit concert and your exam go well.

well, it's actually more hours, but that's cool, because I could use with a lot of extra money.
