If I score high enough to get my third gold cup, then I won't have to do it next year. I'm graduating next year, but if I don't have to do festival, then that's one less thing that I'll have to worry about.<BR/>No, I don't take the theory test. I am doing the sight-reading thing this year. It ought to be fun, because I love sight-reading!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sloan,<BR/>I doubt you want to hear me play piano enough to see a video of me.<BR/>:) I've played for a little over nine years.Miriam Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08871868041805663680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-24678017025070781992008-01-24T19:47:00.000-06:002008-01-24T19:47:00.000-06:002008-01-24T19:47:00.000-06:00Don't worry Miriam, the Lord is with you always and I know how CRAZY it can get! You should post a video of yourself playing one of <BR/>your pieces! I didn't know you played piano! How long have you been playing for? :o)<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/> Sloan <><Sloanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01631578236138915371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-2248331260992462522008-01-18T16:14:00.000-06:002008-01-18T16:14:00.000-06:002008-01-18T16:14:00.000-06:00Wow, you definitely do have a great excuse for not posting in a while!! :) I don't know how you manage to do all that you do! If I had all that in my schedule, I'd probably go insane! :) <BR/><BR/>I have missed this blog SOOOO much! I haven't been here in a while, due to Christmas, New Years, school, family visiting, etc. etc. I'm so glad to be back on your blog! It offers such a breath of fresh air, refreshment, and great encouragement from dear, likeminded friends and sisters in Christ. This blog is such a blessing!<BR/><BR/>I know you and Anna are really busy, but it'd be great if you would drop by my blog sometime-I'd love to receive some more comments from you guys when you have the time! :)<BR/><BR/>I hope your audtitions and lessons go well! I'm praying for you both!<BR/><BR/>In Him,<BR/>RebekahRebekah S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04269150765888375195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-61932587131763108322008-01-18T06:13:00.000-06:002008-01-18T06:13:00.000-06:002008-01-18T06:13:00.000-06:00I can understand with all of those music lessons.Will pray for your auditions.<BR/><BR/>The picture at the top of my blog is called Singing to the Reverend by Edmund Blair Leighton.Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10900929972397636933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-66239652177905584732008-01-17T17:25:00.000-06:002008-01-17T17:25:00.000-06:002008-01-17T17:25:00.000-06:00Oh, Miriam...I can sympathize!! My Gershwin piece is in my memory bank (with a minor glitch her and there) However, my Mozart piece has some very weird notes....it's way harder! I shall be praying for you. I am sad that this is my last year!<BR/><BR/>Oh, do you take the theory test at the festival? I do, my teacher loves it!Ellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12361895789616410614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-39068527459929005222008-01-17T16:32:00.000-06:002008-01-17T16:32:00.000-06:002008-01-17T16:32:00.000-06:00Aww, I understand, Miriam! I'm extraordinarily musically busy myself! AND I'm going to be adding voice lessons to the mix!<BR/><BR/>I have 3 flute pieces for festival, but fortunately, they don't have to be memorized. I'm working on memorizing on festival piece for piano though. :)<BR/><BR/>Praying your auditions go well!<BR/>God bless,<BR/>SheilaSheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13460375118723137081noreply@blogger.com
