I love how I am almost 18 and my mom still yells at me and makes me stay in my room until I can play a certain passage in a concerto. it's so funny. Like, she'll send me upstairs and say, don't come back until you have played this from 100-200 on the metronome 3 times each yong lady. Wow. What will I do without her in college? Speaking of college, auditions start soon, and despite all of my recent success I am so anxious to have it all over with. I love Dvorak but I am so ready to start another concerto. i am currently distracting myself with Polonaise Brilliante by Wieniwski and Tamborin Chinos...that piece should be illegal. haha. Hope you all are well. I got yelled at the other day by a friend who found out I dont put links in my blogs. Who knew you were supposed to have links in a blog? hmmm. Well, hello to all, hope you have had a blessed new year
