today i’ll bring some music out to study in the afternoon, renew my lease for the apartment (boring), and collect a suit jacket which i sent in to have the sleeves shortened; standing in for raymond again on saturday for vyso rehearsal.
justin, a friend studying in sae needs some material for his portfolio so i’m going in the studio next week to track my material. it’s about time isn’t it! have a few new pedals to toy around with so it should be fun. also, looking forward to playing in a duo with kevin/brokenscar here in melboune on aug 2; will keep you posted.
had a chat with mark shiell, one of my conducting mentors, at st petersburg briefly describing what he has learnt in the week-long masterclass. can’t wait for this semester to end, and finally plan for russia.
there’s a massive amount of repertoire to cover next semester: act 2 of mozart’s marriage of figaro for 2 weeks, followed by a brahms and a tchaikovsky symphony each week. i heard that conducting students only focus on 1 movement a week in sibelius akademie so they get it right. hope this won’t be a waste of time..
will make it a point to write something here everyday to jog my brain a little, because having sooo much time to myself can be terribly uninspiring! i need to make the most out of it. (:
