Just dropping a message! I haven't left one in a while.

Oh yeah! I'll be placing my All-District stuff on my profile soon. I'm sure you'll like it; they are really good recordings!

Hey Dennis! I just got back from the All-District clinic! It was SOOOO much fun! Everyone was amazing and very talented. I don't think that there was anything wrong with any of our performances. They were PERFECT! Anyway, I'm waiting for the CD to come in now. When I get it, I'll post the songs that I liked on my profile. Cheerio!

Lol Ive listened to the Muczynski Time Pieces and had a look at them cause my friend she was doing her Associate Diploma of Music (AmusA). Spohr concerto 1 and 3 are AmusA pieces. I think Ill play them for my Diploma :D

My friend she is an amazing player.
In her 5th year shes done her Diploma!!!
And it only took like a less than a year for her to prepare for it.. It usually takes 1 - 1 1/2 years to prepare.. And SHE SWAPPED TEACHERS HALF WAY THROUGH THE YEAR!! and may I mention she is only in Year 11.. Well this year shes in Year 12.. I dont think she was going to do her Licentate Diploma of Music (LmusA). Cause she has to do Grade 6 theory.. That includes stuff like Spohr Concertos 2 & 4 Benjamin Le Tombeau de Ravel and Contrasts for Clarinet and Violin by Bartok.

Sad though she isnt going to go to music College.

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
Haha... Good luck with begging....

What are you Re-auditioning the Clarinet for? College?

Have you played Muczynski Time Pieces on Clarinet??

-ReubZ

Dennis
Don't really go by the grading systems. When you get to college you are pretty much either told what to play, or given a choice of a limited number of options. Grading systems are all different. As far as what I am playing...this semester I am playing Handel Sonata in Aminor, Muczynski Three Preludes, Mozart Andante in C, Gaubert Fantaisie, and Liebermann Soliloquy on flute. I haven't studied anything in depth in college for clarinet, So I can only share that I have played through a LOT of music. I am currently working on Spohr Concerto 1 in Cminor to reaudition for clarinet. I am probably going to do mvt. 3. Other than that...I am off to the Flute Fair in Orlando, Florida today. I get to try out flutes and figureout which $20,000 one is best for me....then beg for money on the street! Have a great day!

-Dennis

Musio4fun
Oh and what pieces for Flute are you learning in College??

I know you dropped clarinet.. But any pieces your learning?

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
Hey Dennis

Im just here to complain..

I really do not get how they grade Pieces...
My grading system is harder than ASBRM or Trinity Exams...

And I looked at a repertoire list in Grading for College and it was really weird

OK Solo De Concours by Messager is a Grade 7 List C piece for AMEB (Australian) But a Level 3 Solo For college College

And Sonatina by Arnold is a Grade 8 List C piece for AMEB but a Level 2 Solo for College

They have heaps of other things...

Im not happy...

But I guess its pretty good that AMEB is harder than most Exams overseas

My rambling is over :D

And Remember YOUR SPECIAL!!!

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
Ha! Stop being soo modest...

You are something special.. and don't let anyone tell you otherwise...

So did actually count in music like with quarter notes and half notes?? or did u just listen to a recording and remember how to play them??

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
And how do you know SOOO much stuff about music clarinet and flute???...

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
Ummm well so was it like guessing work or did you know music theory???

Go into more depth on how ou achieved it...

Your amazing

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
What..??... *Jaw Drops*

You self taught yourself.... How the heck did you manage that???
And you self taught yourself to a high standard.. please share your secrets!!!!!!!

Im amazed at that.. What talent you have.. COngratulations...
College without lessons... *sigh*

-ReubZ

Musio4fun
Hello there..

Just wondering How long have you been playing Clarinet And Flute.. And what kind of teachers you have had in the past?

I have an outragiously BAD teacher at the moment.. but looking for a new one... hehehe

-ReubZ

Toni
I've never heard of a song that has an Eb clarinet solo in it. Actually, I've never even been up close to an Eb clarinet. It's almost as bad as last year, when I had never been in the same room as a violin or bass! Last year was the first orchestral performance that I have seen....don't get out much. See ya.

-Toni

Toni
Sevens too?!!!!
By the way, our auditions were today. Me and the second chair clarinetist tied for 1st. We are going to share it instead of fighting like heathen over a chair. I'm very happy for both of us. The only thing to do now is to see whose gonna get to play the solo clarinet parts. I'm sure we'll share those too.
