Today is the day before I pack up my things and try my hand at convincing a bunch of professors that I can play! Yay! Sounds like fun doesn't it? Actually, I can safely say that this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have finally learned how to practice for more than a couple of hours without killing myself. I've learned that the beauty of MY music lies in the details and subtleties, which can only be gleaned through careful, painstaking, OCD-like refining. I also learned that no matter how in a hurry you are, focused/smart practicing equip you far more than hap-hazard, rushed, and ultimately stressful practice.
These last few months I have grown as a player, a woman, and even more...I have become comfortable with who I am. I'm not a perfect musician or human being, but I am doing the best that I can do.
Hopefully, they will like me. :)
