A decidedly Unchristmassy Post!

If you know me in real life, you’ve probably heard that I sat an audition for a certain high quality music school in Sydney. Well, a few weeks ago I received my results, and (as you’ve probably guessed) they weren’t the results I wanted. For the second time in my post highschool life, this institution has rejected me.

The first time crushed me. I’d auditioned for the classical program, decided I wasn’t going to go there anyway, but hearing that it wouldn’t have been a choice regardless of my first preference made me feel like a worthless mediocre waste of space musician. This time I auditioned for the Jazz program. This time I’m not crushed, instead I’m a little bit disappointed, and a little bit angry.

I had a read of the story on your blog... sorry that you didn't get in. In the coming year, you should consider getting some "lessons" from someone at the music school (or from elsewhere). Coming at a new music field by yourself can be difficult, and it is often great to have new sets of ears that can provide feedback?

I'm definitely going to bug all of the teachers at the institution for lessons this year! I really don't "need" the instruction they way they'll be giving me instruction though - I can (and have) figured out a lot of the playing stuff on my own. (I want to go back for theory and contact making)
