Waiting for Audition Results from MYA

At the beginning of April, I auditioned for the Concert Orchestra at Midwest Young Artists.  I know that the results should be mailed out this week, and I'm really nervous about whether I'm going to make it or not.  I think it may be more nerve-wracking to wait for audition results than it is to actually audition.

Lately, I'm working on the Danzi Concerto, a little on the Stamitz Concerto, and a lot on the Saint-Saens Sonata.  I really like the Saint-Saens Sonata.

Oh, and I'm thinking about going to the Geneva Grandquist music competition at the end of June. 

I really want school to end so I can play more music!

New Practice Record and New Pieces

Last week, I made a new practice record.  14 hours and 45 minutes in just 3 days!  That made a total of 18 hours for the week.  I've practiced more in a week, but that was the most I have ever practiced over 3 days. 

Running track in addition to playing soccer caused me to have shin splints and Osgood Slatters, and my legs hurt too much to go to soccer practice or play outside much, so I made good use of the time.

Oh, and I'm working on some new pieces:  The Saint-Saens Sonata, the Danzi Concerto, and the Beethoven clarinet, cello, and piano trio.
