Classes are over! And so is everything else except for an exam on Wednesday, then I'm homeward bound, which is long overdue. Today has been long. I was asked to play piano at a CMC (it's a competition) fundraiser event, which was over at the Alberta College, and then I swung back over to the Fine Arts Building for our dress rehearsal. This last week I've taken to writing and arranging a Christmas medley for orchestra. Back in Banff, when I went with the Edmonton Youth Orchestra, a couple friends told me that I should write a Christmas piece for them. I already had one in my head, and wrote it down over the week last to play it at the U of A chamber christmas concert tonight. It was soo much fun! I got to conduct it, and lead rehearsals and stuff. It was a very good experience for me. A silent instrument (the baton) is a very unique one. I was lucky, above all, to have a group of 20 individuals from year one to four in their degree, eager to play for me. Now, I study, and stay away from any instrument silent or loud. How exciting. Merry Christmas!
Is anyone reading this blog really? Let me know. I may write more if I know that someone is reading.
