Music Audition

SO. My ASU music audition to get into the music composition program is a week from tomorrow, the 21st.

Today was my mock audition at PVCC. And I would have to say it went fairly well! It's nerve-wracking, especially in front of all my peers and especially when I'm such a lousy sight-reader. But I got through it, and I'm certain I'll do the same when the real thing comes around next week.

I have all four of my pieces memorized, cleaned up, all my scales and arpeggios learned. It's ridiculous to think it's only a week away because I've been working towards this for AGES. A couple years. At least. Every major song that was learned was for the audition, the way it was interpreted was with the ASU professors in mind, each of the songs that I wrote was for the Composition application.

It's scary to think that ITS HERE!

Pray that all goes well! If this doesn't work out it's another 9 months until the next audition date!

P.s. Because I need some praise :) I'm going to put up videos of my songs. Who knew I would ever get this far?!
