Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: Backwards practicing
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2014/04/backwards-practicing.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Sunday, April 13, 2014. I have always practiced all my major scales pretty much every day. But this week I started playing from the top going down instead of my usual way, starting at the bottom going up a couple of octaves. Who would've thought this would be complicated any way? Who would've thought I had neglected such an easy thing. I guess there really is no limit to what I can practice. Posted by Jill Cathey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: February 2014

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Sunday, February 9, 2014. The end of things. Finally some of my insanity is ending! The oboe audition is over, and while I didn't win or even get to round two, I'm sort of impressed with myself for getting it together enough to present myself at this crazy point in my life! I played ok, but ok is not the standard at auditions these days- even podunkville 2nd oboe auditions! In the aftermath of the audition, I wonder where I should put my energy, I'd lik...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: May 2013
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Saturday, May 4, 2013. There is something pretty magical about playing a world premier. No audience has ever judged the music, each part is created by the performers around you, with no looming prior performance by John Mack ( or pick your favorite musician) to make THIS first playing of the piece less. Our jazz piano concerto (which our little symphony commissioned! This is amazing since he refuses to wear anything but sweats normally. But even mor...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Monday, March 11, 2013. Hey this is my first blog using the iPhone! I know it's been a long time but at least I can try to keep up if it's on the phone. D had his first band concert, Which was a big event in my life too. As you can see he's playing the bassoon which was certainly not my choice! He loves it and I'm so proud. Looking forward to a little respite from the insanity, the show closes next week and I can't wait! Posted by Jill Cathey. Amahl and...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: How can we be halfway through summer?
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-can-we-be-halfway-through-summer.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. How can we be halfway through summer? Well, the wonderful Fireworks concert was cancelled. Hopefully it will happen again next year, those of us in town (and quite a few had come for the concert) played an impromptu march by the river - I think we had aspirations of a "flashmob" but no one was that orgainized! In just over a week we have our first symphony rehearsal - Opera starts in less than 6 weeks. Excited! And so it begins.

THE NUTCRACKER. - LJ Knows Good Music. Laquo; previous entry. Next entry ». Jul 28th, 2013 07:04 pm. Can someone please share THE NUTCRACKER music with me? Jul 29th, 2013 11:38 am (UTC). If you're looking for recordings, Youtube will have everything you could ever need. If you're looking for sheet music, give IMSLP a try. Jul 29th, 2013 02:02 pm (UTC). Was looking for the mp3's. Isn't that what this is for? Jul 29th, 2013 09:48 pm (UTC). No, sorry. More for discussions among musicians.

December 17th, 2006 (03:33 pm). Who wanted Harry and Hermione having a slightly suggestive conversation. Ah well, my friends, I tried. Harry Potter was woken early on the first of January by a loud Crack and the appearance of Hermione Granger in his bedroom. He pulled a pillow over his face and then, on second thoughts, pulled his blanket up over his chest. He heard an amused snort at this. Wrong room, he grunted through the pillow. Ron’s next door. Go away, Hermione. Why are you here, then? Because it’s...

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: June 2014
http://wildreedsonmicapeak.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. This summer was really depressing me for a while, as I finish a crazy spring playing all the time, I am faced with no gigs at all until late August. But after thinking this over, it will be so nice to have some actual practice time! So many things go by the wayside as I frantically prepare for each gig in turn. Here are the things I hope will be much improved in the next two months:. Posted by Jill Cathey. Claire's Journal Of Doom.

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak: October 2012

Wild Reeds on Mica Peak. Where the wild things are. Thursday, October 25, 2012. So my browser is not supported by Blogger - but the computer I'm using won't support the newer browsers! Jim would say this is the conspiracy to force us to buy new equipment, and I suppose that is true, but I just want things to work! Just finished playing the Producers - what a fun show. I played books 4 and 5, mostly bari sax. Honk honk honk, what a fun change from the oboe! Posted by Jill Cathey. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
