Audition Results

The auditions went awesome!!! First, I did a piano audition, which just so happened to be done by Pastor Steve's piano teacher. That was crazy. She was this cute little Japanese gal and she loved my playing and wanted to know who my teaher was. The actual jury doesn't award scholarships, they only recommend to the financial aid people who deserves them. Anyways, she gave me a high recommendation for a scholarship.
Then, I did the guitar audition. The peoples looked at my application and said that since I hadn't ever taken private lessons, maybe the audition wasn't for me. I was shaking with nervousness by this point and they eventually gave in and let me play. Apparently they were very surprised at how well I played. Oh yeah, and the head of the jazz department came to my audition thanks to my friend Jodie, who just so happens to be the dean of NW's daughter. That was pretty much awesome cause everyone who listened was shocked and the head of jazz took me to his office afterwards and said that he wanted me on his jazz band! Jazz is the hardest style of guitar and I've never ever had any training in jazz and he picked me out of the hundreds to train for his jazz group! So I also got high recommendation for my guitar.... Hopefully the scholarships are big!

Audition Day

Today's the big day for my audition. I'm a little nervous and stuff, but I'm looking forward to it at the same time. There are few things that I enjoy more in life than music and I actually love taking music classes in college so I'm really excited to go back to school. I'm thinking of doing a double major in jazz guitar and piano performance. It'd be pretty sweet.
I think it'd be really cool to teach theory, music history, and private lessons at a college... Its kind of a crazy job, but I think that it'd be a blast. It'd also give me a huge opportunity to witness to students, which would be awesome! It'll be interesting to see where God takes me in the next few years.

Northwest Audition

On Monday I'll be auditioning for a music scholarship from Northwest University. I'm really hoping that it goes well, cause I really want to be able to afford Northwest. I'll be playing Alla Turca from Mozart's Sonata K331 and Paderewski's famous Minuet on piano and then I"ll play the Beatles Blackbird on guitar.

Valentine's Day is Upon Us

Its hard to believe its only a week till the day of the year when all the chocolate sales go through the roof and everything is pink and red. Yet another Valentine's Day... I still have yet to experience one when I have a significant other but thats alright. I absolutely love Valentine's Day. I don't need a boyfriend to enjoy the holiday. Traditionally my family exchanges Valentines and we have a fancy breakfast of dinner (usually consisting of strawberry crepes). This year, however, I'll be in Centralia so I'll be missing the family celebration which is sad. Maybe I'll make some crepes for the Sowas
