Today was the first day of the new semester and so far I might actually like it. I also only had 5 out of my 10 classes. This is going to be a busy semester though. 17 credit hours which in my case equals 10 classes, my job at the CDR, NAfME, practice time and study time. This doesn't include the co-ed music fraternity, Mu Phi, that I am rushing for, a possible apprenticeship at a conservatory and the other things I always do. I have officially entered the world of the no life for music majors. I think I'll like it though, except for math and theory...UCK! I have a feeling it will be great though.
So I got a new roommate and it is GREAT! She is also a vocal music ed major and even though she doesn't have theory this semester, she still might be able to help me :) We also are both choir nerds and can compare music. We spent like 2 hrs today just listening to some of our favorite choral pieces. It was great! Now I might actually practice more :)
As for the apprenticeship , my lessons teacher actually suggested. She is a teacher at the local music conservatory and they have a program where you can work there and get the experience of working at a music business. I would be observing lessons, helping at lessons, teaching BASIC theory, helping with the marketing and much more. It is a great opportunity and it could really help me prepare for teaching, my theory skills, my business skills, and it will look great on my resume. The best thing is since I don't have a car, my lessons teacher is willing to take me with her since she goes over there after my lesson. It also can turn into a paid internship. How awesome is that!?
Speaking of awesome, next week will be AWESOME! I am going to a music educators conference that pretty much anyone who is interested in music wants to go to. It is going to be amazing 4 days of workshops, concerts, and new people. I have to miss 2 days of classes, but over half of them will be cancelled cause the whole music department shuts down so every one can go. I am so excited!
Anyway, I need sleep so that is all for now. I hope this will be great.
Nighty Night :)
