Quick Description: I am taking this elective the first semester of my senior year, and will complete an art project. This course is an independent study class, in which I work on my up-coming music auditions. I am applying to universities and music programs and schools within those schools. This class gives me the opportunity to use my work on preparing for music auditions for credit in school. I don't work on practicing my instrument during school, instead I work on annotating and studying a music theory book to be prepared for theory tests that I will take going into college as placement tests. The goal that I created is to be around half-way done annotating and studying the book and create professional videos of myself playing music for the music auditions I will be submitting in the fall.
Currently at: I am currently still working on annotating and studying the theory book. I am very close to finalizing all of my pieces for audition videos, I am currently doing many run-throughs of the music.
12/01/15 Update: I recently sent out my audition tapes and some music school applications! I recorded 4 pieces to send out to colleges: the 1st movement of the Cello Concerto in C major by Haydn, the Prelude and Sarabande of the 3rd Cello Suite by J.S. Bach, and the 1st etude of the High School of Cello Playing by David Popper. I completed my USC, Rice University, and Boston University applications over the weekend. If all goes well, I will be invited to live audition for their panel as the next step in the admission process.
