Oh My! Junior Clinic was so difficult at first. (Junior clinic is an orchestra I played with on Friday and Saturday.) They gave us six or seven songs to learn in one and a half days and we performed four of them. It was the most I've ever played viola. Roughly ten hours of practicing in two days. It's a lot more painful than it sounds. I'm still sore. Oh, but it was so worth it. I learned the pieces, and I even had a duet with second chair viola because I was bumped up to first chair viola. It was awesome, and I'm so in love with my instrument right now (and I know that sounds dirty, but I didn't mean it that way.) It was the hardest music I have ever played. Ever!!!! They wouldn't let us keep the music or take it home and practice it on our own either. It was so stressful but oh so worth it. I wish I could describe the experience better, but I can't. It was just too cool. All of the music I have is so easy in comparison. It's sad. I need more music now so I can get better. The funny thing is that I was first chair, and I can't even vibrato (for those of you who don't know, that is the act of shaking your left hand to make the note waver gently. It sounds very cool.) Well, I'm headed to church. Have a nice day!
