"...IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!"

Todays horn lesson had Ms. Williams turning into Chris Farley motivational speaker mode. She basically told me in a nice, humorous way that I needed to get my booty in gear by comparing herslef and the other brass faculty to rabid dogs. She said that she knows I can play my piece, but she wants me to play it with confidence. And that means playing dynamics (which i have never been truly good at) and paying attention to tempos. I'm playing an unaccompanied piece so that makes it nice, but I now have 3 weeks to prove to her that I can play 'da horn good! She also said that she never wants to hear me play an audition like I did for the concert band auditions again, and she was serious. She also wants to assign me a good part for Bohemian Rhapsody because she knows i can do it, but she wants me to work for it. So now, right along with becoming a piano playing goddess, I have to become start playing 'da horn like a goddess too, right along with making music history my bitch! Then there's the projects for other classes. So with that, I am now gonna turn into the typical stressed out workaholic music major that I try so hard not to be! And along with everything else that's going on...
