Yay! I have another student.
J rang me this evening in the middle of my youth group. Becuase I didn't know the number I answered, and got me a student. She isn't able to come for a couple of weeks, but hey, it's an extra half hour of lessons a week. Extra Money to save for my violin :>

My composition for my church is going well. I'm up to the fugue - the bit I've been looking forward to the most, yet also the bit I've been regretting the most because it's probably the most difficult thing I'll have done compositionally up til now. I can understand 2 and three part fugues, but will it be possible for me to write a 5 part fugue, and still have it sound ok? Seeing as I haven't heard any of what I've written so far except in my head (Since the computer died, I haven't taken to writing music on the computer, choosing to wait till I get my own computer with Sibelius). I really hope it sounds awesome, as I'm sure it will be. I've done a lot of work on this piece, not only just writing the music, but also planning out the composition, choosing the keys carefully and where it modulates to, journaling what I've worked on etc. Oh well, I think I might go do some more work on it.
