my music career - the next phase

i've entered the next phase in my music career - i'm still waiting for an official letter from McGill that will tell me i'm either invited or i'm not invited to register as a student in the faculty of music in the fall. however...

... julia, my piano teacher, who also teaches in the faculty of music at McGill (also known as the Schulich School of Music), asked me today if i would be joining her piano class in the fall, or someone else's. i told her i would join hers, of course. she proceeded to explain how i would most likely be admitted into first year piano studies right away instead of the pre-requisite courses, given the speed at which i've improved in the past 6 months, and we will need to plan my program for the exam at the end of the first year...

... all this talk, it's about me being a student in the faculty of music this coming September! it's unofficial, true, but it sounds quite promising!

we're talking about improving my technique by learning some Czerny studies, selecting another Beethoven sonata (or Mozart or Haydn), and anything else i feel like playing as long as it's appropriate. yeeha! woohoo!!

i started a Debussy piece today called Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir. it's beautiful. it's atonal, it sounds like movie music. i loooooove it. this is the kind of thing i'd love to write.

i have a feeling Debussy and i will become good friends.
