hmm
On the drive to school this morning I was thinking of some goals I want to accomplish this summer. So here is my attempt to organize them so i don't forget.
1. Reeds. Make a ton of blanks and revamp my reed technique to be more detailed and less suck.
2. Buy a profiler. This is related to #1
3. Listen more. My listening habits are shitty. As well as my rep knowledge. So I want to actively listen to a lot more music, preferably with scores when possible. I've started actually listening to classical music in the car. Minus the scores.
4. PRACTICE. My entire summer will be spent on scales, long tones with a tuner and/or drone, and excerpts. no mercy. i will conquer you, mozart.... you bastard.
5. Get a damn library card already. This has been 3 years in progress. this way I can check out books and cds. holy shit. novel concept.
6. read some music literature as well as craptastic fiction. Maybe i should start by reading the grout in preparation for quals... I dont know yet.
7. Exercise. I think this has been on every goal list I have ever made. jesus. Although I have lost a lot of weight recently by not eating so damn much, so maybe I'll be more motivated since have the work has been done already. It doesn't seem like such a lost cause when there are 30 less pounds to lose.
8. lots of organizational work in the wind library. pretty much doing all the stuff I should have been doing this quarter and then some.
thats it so far. time for class. shoot me.
edit:
9. organize my ipod and add a lot more music. I need to organize by composer and fix a lot of the titles. my laziness caused me to just add stuff with the downloaded titles... not always the best plan.
