It's a Go...

Had a slow run through with the Clarinet tonight on the first movement of the Beethoven Trio. Chamber Music Teacher gave it a green light so we will be working on it for the December recital. I had practiced the first minute (up to the F chord) at half speed using "Audacity". The F chord is a real challenge. Almost as bad as when I first learned it on the guitar.

The Guitar trio is sounding pretty good. I forgot my camera this evening or I would have recorded our "dry run". Recital is October 20th and 23rd so we have another week to tweak the dynamics, etc.

Other exciting green lights this week:

Booked 10 day trip to Costa Rica to visit a friend for Winter recess.

Booked 33 day trip to China for intensive Mandarin for June 2010.
