Piano Jury

Tomorrow (Saturday) is my very first Piano Jury. I will go before a board of piano professors who will grade/judge me on my ability to perform three classical pieces (one from memory), various scales I have studied throughout the semester (major, natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor) and arpeggios that I have covered. This is exciting, yet nerve racking at the same time. I have played the piano for nearly seven years, but this is the first classical training I have ever had.

I am used to playing hymn arrangements and anthems for church. Not Beethoven's works, or various Etudes by many great composers. This is helping me to become a more well-rounded musician, and it is different
- but I like it.
