blogging is going to happen...

because it will help me practice all the music i need to right now...

so today=

35 minute warm-up/routine

1 hour rehearsal with my (awesome) accompanist Kelleen and DL

50 minutes rehearsing the 1st movement of the Brahms Trio w/Rose and Janell (it sounded pretty good in most sections after we worked some stuff out)...I'm very excited to play perform it sometime this school year

45 minutes on solo rep (penny game for most of it, recording myself starts tomorrow!)

25 minutes on excerpts from the ICO audition list (Water Music, Brahms 1, Beethoven 2 & Mahler 4, 2nd mvt)

Plus...listening for about an hour to some Mahler, Wilder Sonata, and excerpts-must learn Schoenberg this weekend!

time to get back on the practice blog train...
