Excitement in Chamber Music

Read through Schubert's Quintet in C Major this evening.  I'm to do Cello I.  We did it at half speed and it wasn't too horrible!  By the time we finish working on the first movement, I'll probably be finally able to read tenor clef :)  It's such a lovely piece.  Will have a lot of work to do to get it ready for a recital.

2012

Well, its a new year.  Time to dust off the cello.  Signed up for chamber music class once again.  Had taken the last term off due to conflicting travel schedules.  Signed up hubby as well, he needs an excuse to play the violin.

Added another FSU online class towards the MLS degree to my schedule (5 of 12 to go) -- Museum Informatics which looks like it might actually be fun -- one of the projects is building a virtual museum exhibit using Second Life.

Language studies continue -- Chinese once a week with a new friend so I don't forget what I used to know.  Adding Korean to the mix with an online Rosetta Stone course since hubby and I are going to Jeju, Gyeongju and Seoul for our twentieth anniversary May 1st.

Add accounting work for tax season, stamp club work, and  helping out the local magnet school to totally book my dance card until April 27th when I plan to run away, far away -- first Korea, then China and Mongolia.
