Thoughts

I cannot believe that my first semester in college is almost over!  I have learned so much.  My playing has improved an amazing amount, I can write and harmonize counterpoint, sight sing and dictate melodies, write better papers, and do my own laundry.  I feel much more independent, yet I still rely on my family for support (and care packages!). I have made so many good friends, and my music is even more important to me now than it was before.  

My professors and peers have all been so supportive!  The environment for learning here is fantastic.  I feel so much more knowledgeable now about the things I have been studying.  I am ridiculously excited about next semester!  

My favorite thing this semester has definitely been Symphony Orchestra.  The conductor, the students, the music - all of it is remarkable.  It is the best part of my week.  I cannot wait for all the music we will be performing next semester, and our Spring Break Tour!

Spring Semester?  Bring it on.
