the performing arts student

I'm officially a music student!
It's official cos I've got my student card. heh.

Yaye!

Hello concessioned travels on public transport!

Yaye!

Hello student discounts!

Yaye!

Kay, that's basically all that I can 'yaye' about. haha.
Cos the whole 'i'm a musician' feeling has not kicked in (yet).
I'm overwhelmed with the talent pool all around me, I'm petrified of drowning.
Majority of us are pianists (piano majors), and I'm no where near their standard.
Then there's the Tuba major.
The Flute major.
The Percussions major.
The Euphonium major. (I didn't know what a Euphonium is till a few days ago)
The Voice major. (yah, apparently you can sing your way through music school hee)
I'm not too sure if there're any Strings major cos I haven't got the chance to get to know all of them yet. But I'm sure there're a few Strings major among us.

Oh, best part.
All of us have got to be part of the orchestra and do performances whenever we can. Now, orchestras usually only need one pianist. Since there just too many of us, it wouldn't be fair if only certain people get to play (though I really don't care, as long as I'm not playing). So, the head of music decided that all piano majors be part of the chorus instead.
phew.
I'd rather sing. Thanks

So yah, it's been pretty relaxed.
But starting next week, I've gotta clock a minimum of 4 hours of practice a day and to learn 4 new pieces for the year.
4 is alot, considering i'm used to only 2 new pieces (like 10 years ago). haha

mati lah aku.

luv, tash 5:38 PM
