Hi. Tired from rehearsal last night.If the lazy kids would just learn their music it would be bearable. Taught 2 students today. One of them i just started in wolfhart and LOVE, and the other one refuses to practice and is tone deaf. I would love to ask him not to come back, but I dont have the heart. He seems to like it, but doesnt want to practice. Ill give him a few more weeks. I have my second lesson with the new teacher tomorrow. I am excited to see if I progressed enough this week for her standards. Also I find out my audition concerto. Sometimes I wonder who I would be with out violin dominating my identity. Like, would I stil be a ballerina, or would I be some cheerleader and have a completely different identity at my high school?Who knows. I love what I do, and these years are fleeting. my friend didnt get into juilliard. it was sad, but that;s the way it goes in this I guess. I am so ready for summer so I can go practice all the time. speaking of practice...
