Yay for auditions. <rant>

So. Auditions coming. Aside from composition, where I'm fairly sure I'll get in, there's the piano part on Thursday...

I have played the whole programme in concert twice already, so I should well be comfortable with it. I'm rather confident with technical stuff, e. g. having all of the notes (well, maybe there's going to be a flub or two in the half-an-hour stretch of playing, but nothing serious) in the right places. I know what to pay attention to interpretation-wise, like, for one, choosing tempos slighlty lower than I'd be capable of. Blah blah blah all in all, I think I'm ready.

And yet there is this little voice that keeps gnawing you know you'll mess up, you haven't done all you could, (which, ironically, may be true - thank the auditions colliding with mid-term...) you don't belong in that place, etc., etc. Anyone got any idea on how to shut down the annoying creepy bastard? I mean, I know perfectly well how to deal with nerves, but convincing my subconscious is an entirely different matter...

all the best to you then.

Don't be discouraged, auditioning is never an easy task by all means especially when you have other things to get done during that same period of time.

you'll do well, and do tell us how you did after it's over

The little negative voice gets dimmer and dimmer with age and experience. Now get in there and get the job done. Break a leg.

Be confident, because you're a heck of a lot more prepared than I was when I went for my Fredonia audition last Saturday. I am soooooo getting wait-listed. I'm just going to work my butt off this week so I'm prepared for Crane on Feb. 2. I wish I was as well prepared as you.

Also if it's going to bother you, you can do what I'm doing. My mom gets the mail, so I'll make sure that she doesn't give me the response from Fredonia before I perform at Ithaca.

Best of Luck

I am soooooo getting wait-listed.

Huh??? How could you know you're getting waitlisted?? lol

I'm such a bad student... as auditions got closer, I practiced less and less. By the end of it, I was so sick of the pieces, BLAH... but it worked out in the end

Ta-daaa!

Now just wait until the results get hanged from the website.

[pianogeek_cz]

And I'm IN!

Yay for me.
