Music geek, thy name is Lauren...
Yes, I am a total music geek! I went down to Rodman tonight (not for orchestra, silly!) at 8pm, and stayed there until midnight!!! And I had intended to practice as well as spending some time with Sibelius....but I spent more or less then entire time (minus 10 minutes or so) transcribing stuff on Sibelius! Travis taught me how to notate slurs in the music (instead of ties), so I accomplished a little bit more on the Mozart Quartet. I haven't decided yet if it's going to be worth my time to spend time transcribing the Mozart, or to just buy the damn parts, but it's kind of fun.
So I worked on the Mozart for about half hour, but then I got bored and shifted my attention to A Winter's Willow. I spent the next 2.5 hours re-writing the oboe part, and then re-writing the piano part, and I must say I'm very proud of my results. I have a few more corrections to make with chord progressions and stuff, but overall, I'm pretty happy with my work. Of course, with 2.5 hours investing in the stupid piece, I better be...:)
(Yay! Garfield & Friends is on!)
I should try the interactive blog thing soon. I can't think of a poll right now though, aside from 'should Mr. B.M. Wilburmeister start his own blog?' but he has already said he thinks I'd be the only person who would read it.
Hmmm...so I'm working on ideas for the interactive blog....
