Back into gear...

Well we had a week off of orchestra, but rehearsals start up again tomorrow. I think it will be good for me to get back into gear. It's been nice having some time off, but I do miss orchestra a LITTLE. Our concert coming up is Mozart Symphony 40, Haydn Symphony 87, and the Shostakovich Cello Concerto. This should be a fairly easy concert considering Mozart and Haydn didn't write very difficult viola parts. It will be a nice way to get back in the swing of things.

I had a really refreshing lesson today. My teacher was really positive and I think it's exactly what I needed to boost my attitude. We worked on Kreutzer, Bartok, and Bach. It's such a nice feeling to have the Hindemith competition over with so I can focus on some other repertoire. It's a really nice breath of fresh air.
