So my advice to your student would be to go ahead and major in harp. Take the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work your tail off and perform two recitals of serious music and be judged on it. Your choice of 'Music Performance' rather than 'Managerial Studies' will be at worst a minor inconvenience if you decide on a different career later, but

Ok is it this one

or

that you want?

I have the first one (where it's on a set) and not the second one. If you want I'll smuggle it out of the house for you to watch, or do you want to own it? But yeah, definitly have the actual movie. Let me know:)

Actually, it's funny, because that's what Ann said to me when I talked to her about it.

Honestly, I've been lazy recently. I'm worried about the audition, but at the same time I don't want to hurt myself and over practice. So for the past few days I practice when I can and when I honestly don't have anything else to do. I've been doing alot of laundry, and packing type stuff and so far it's worked well. I think today I need to hit it hard, and then keep them up once I get to school.

As to working with Dr. Ann, I have to say the nicest thing about working with her is how articulate she is. But at the same time, she breaks things down and will show you how things work. There's always a why to what she tells you. The only thing to note, because she gives you sooo much information in such a short time, take additional notes right after. You'll forget it if you don't and sometimes she gets so distracted that she'll forget to write things down.

2 days!

oh em gee! its the first one!! i probably will order it once i get to school, so no need to smuggle ^__^ thanks for finding it! and the second one is one that i bought thinking it was the first one, but it was really bad (see above reply comment for whole(ish) story)

Yeah, I know what you mean... It stinks that the audition is right when we get there. I would rather have had it sometime over the summer, rather than now when we're all frantically saying goodbye to people and packing and having a million other things on our minds. So I've been doing a lot of midnight practice sessions when I'm definitely not at my best :P Hmm... by the way, I'm not bringing my harp, so do you know if I will be able to have access to one right away?

Thats really good to know about Ann. Is she real nice? ^_^

2 days! *throws up* (in a good way)

P.S. Did you find out how much tickets are?

[aeolianrhapsody]

Yes, you definitly will be able to get to one. Even if you end up on the salzedo, you'll definitly have a harp. Probibly, you'll be able to use one of the 85s as most are bringing their own harps. There will be a practice schedule for the school harps that Jing-i will work out for us. There are always enough harps to go around, so I wouldn't worry about it.

She's really, really, really, really, really, really to infity nice. But she also kicks ass when she needs to, so really, she's perfect.

I called about tickets and they're $32, $25, or $11 for students and that depends on where we want to sit. They don't go on sale until the day after labor day, so that's cool. Um, I was personally thinking about the $25 since sometimes student tickets can suck.

And it's funny, because for me, it's really tomorrow. I drop off my harp and have a lesson and then I come home and have a family thing, and then I leave early saturday morning. *scream!*
