Solo and Ensemble Music Festival 2013

February 19, 2013 at 8:12 PM

Yesterday was the Solo and Ensemble Festival, running from 9am-3pm and an Honors Recital for some of the best performances at 7pm. I had a piano slot at 10am (I played the Song of India), and a violin slot at 1pm (I played Vivaldi's Violin Concerto in g Minor). Basically, I sat in the room with two or three other pianists (or violinists) and we played for someone, who watched and then commented on our playing and gave us practice tips to help us. I discovered that for violin I'm holding my left shoulder up too high, so in a minute when I'm finished writing this I'm going to try playing differently (I'm just practicing for my violin lesson later today). This festival does not count as a judge score; in a couple of weeks that will occur, where I will play for a judge and get scored. Next week on Saturday, though, is a fun event involving my violin and the Symphonic Strings orchestra at school that I will save for then.
