I want everyone to know this is what I sound like when no one else is in the room.  It's not perfect, but it's sooooo much worse when people hear me.

Also, yes I know it's been a while since my last update.

I've decided to not audition this time for the Lexington Phil.  There were too many knew excerpts.  I thought I could learn them and work back up the other's I already knew, but I bit off a bit much.

I'm going to start taking up meditation yoga to help with my performance anxiety.  I'll keep you updated, hopefully better than what I have been.

Final Thought:

"I swear, sometimes I think I'm really good at it, and other times I feel like a violist when I text."- Me

Road to the Job: 1/2 the Rep

I know it's been awhile since my last post.  But don't worry, I've been hard at work.  Here is half of the rep I need for the audition.  I've combined it all into one video.  The order is: Mendelssohn: Scherzo, Brahms: Haydn Variation No. 5, Beethoven: 5th Symphony 2nd mvt, Beriloz: Roman Carnival Overture, and Mozart: Symphony 35 4th mvt.

Final Thought: 

Roses are red, Bacon is red, Poems are hard, Bacon!
