Back to the Blog or Swimming with the big kids now! 27 April, 2006

23 February, 2006

Today was a long rehearsal, we ran the whole program.  Some things sounds great, but others just need a lot of work.  It seems like many people just aren’t practicing the parts…everyone is surely in “semester break mode” this time of year, myself included!

Progress! 4 February, 2006

Today was the dress rehearsal for my performance tomorrow evening. I must say, we sound amazing! I’m surprised at how fast we’ve put this piece together. In less than four weeks we’ve put together this 9 minute (!!) solo piece. All of the glitches and bugs with the computer program are [...]

I recieved the last of the music today from the friend who is composing a piece for me. Well, for trumpet and live electronics which he will play. His name is Maximillian Meintz, he studies composition at my school. The piece is quite a challange, I’m looking forward to seeing how well [...]
