Hello all!
I am feeling my improvement from last year. Especially in my octaves/scales/double stops etcetera. I mean, last year, I was having trouble vibrating on my high F in a three octave Fmaj scale. Now...mwahaha!

Right now, I'm trying to decide on a present for my friend's birthday. I've pretty much settled on my fav recording of Night on Bald Mountain. I mean...what's not to love? Still debating though, as I haven't a lot of extra cash. Ah, the life of a musician...

I sometimes give a CD as a gift and then ask the recipient to copy it for me. If I buy someone a book, I read as much of it as I can before giving it away. Support the arts!

^Haha! Actually, I already have a copy of the Cd I would be giving. I almost always give someone something I have. And to Sydney- Yes.
