It's amazing how just a little bit of work (really a shit ton of work) can pay off. Had a break through tonight in the practice room. All of a sudden working through page five and six of the Koppel Concerto I was able to get through to page 9 in a matter of no time. It's a beautiful thing when the hard work begins to pay off.
Still lots to do for the rest of the recital but the Concerto is going quite well at this point in time.

Date and Time
No, I don't yet have a date or a time for my recital. I've been patiently waiting until the proper scheduling date as determined by the School of Music. But as of today, I just realized that I may have overlooked a major step in the process. Email has been sent to see if I can salvage this ordeal. Depending on the reply, I might have to wait longer than I ever wanted to to perform my recital.
The work on the Concerto has been going well the last few days/weeks. Although I haven't updated recently I've been hard at work on all the pieces of my recital. On top of everything else, found out last week that our Concerto competition that I've been working toward is now going to be a month earlier than previous years. That really just means it's time to dig in and forget about the rest of the world for a bit.
The positive to this whole situation is that I've never felt so good about being so busy. Although I'm superbly overwhelmed with things to do everyday. It seems do-able as long as I keep moving. In the past I've always felt that if I just kept moving that I would end up on the other side of a mountain that I didn't intend to go over and have to back track or start over. As of now this train is steadily gaining momentum, just constantly at the helm changing tracks to keep me where I'm headed.
Posters are well on their way, the lovely Miranda Whitlock-Downs was gracious enough to help me with photos and Greg Downs is working on the design/layout of the posters. Although he can't properly finish the posters until I have a date/time for recital.
Band members have been found, charts have been printed, stickings are changing, accompanists have been confirmed, every day is leaning toward the completion of this process. The hardest part is the collection of the details and and the administrative duties, where's a manager when you need one.
Until next time,
