Mainly this week was the same as the past few weeks - busy and full of auditions - so this will be a pretty brief post. We finally went back to school after a bit of the snow melted, and just one day after returning to playing, I had an audition in New York. Tomorrow I go to New York for another audition, and then on Monday, to Baltimore. Only four more auditions to go!
Today was a very exciting day, though. After teaching a lesson, in which my student (an undergraduate here who isn't majoring in music) showed huge improvement since the previous lesson, I met up with a former student for coffee. S was my first horn student ever, who I taught when I was in high school. Now he's about to graduate high school himself, and it looks like he'll be coming to Yale next year! It was really nice to see him, and to see what progress he has made in the past six years! After that, I had my first lesson with A, my two-year-old student. She is super cute. We're learning basic musical concepts - like clapping to a beat, loud and soft, and high and low notes. We sing lots of songs and dance around the room. It's lots of fun!
Well, I'm sorry for the short post, but I better go. I have to get up super early for my 11am audition, and I still haven't packed for my weekend away or anything.
Until next time!
Lauren
