YAY weekend.
Now, recital is completely over. Music festival is completely over. All that was stress in my life over the last month is GONE!
Yesterday was a good day, I played for the last two festival classes, which was the same easy song twice. Although it wasn't as easy as I make it out, the piano was so loud and the voices are so tiny that it's a huge challenge to play quietly enough, and still have some semblance of musicality.
After those were over, I had still almost 2 hours before I had to be at the contemporary dancers for ballet class. I stopped by there to double check that I did in fact have to be there and they said yes, then gave me my cheque, then I went on a journey across downtown to the bank and deposited that as well as 3 cheques from the singers I accompanied. It always feels so good to actually have money to put into the bank.
I also went to the library and looked around, taking out some books on dance. I had to get a new library card, cause I haven't been there since 1997, at which time I had acquired $5.10 in late fees. I didn't have to pay for the new card cause it had been long enough, but I had to pay off the late fee. I remember the last 4 times I went to the public library, I managed to get away with, "oh, I don't have any cash one me, can I pay that next time I'm in"..then there just wasn't a next time. Anyway, now I have a new shiny card and books to read, I've already started in and read some helpful sections talking about the relation of music to dance and choreography. Now, I'm reading a general book on modern dance. So much to learn.
Today is back to normal, and I'm planning on relaxing a fair bit this weekend, but not too much. I want to make a good start on the Scarlatti sonata I've chosen before my first lesson. I want to keep up the momentum that I started with the preparation for my recital.
