Talked to the Music Ed counselor yesterday, and we proceeded to guesstimate what my schedule for next fall is going to be. It turns out there's a class where you go out and teach little kids how to play music. She was more than welcoming and really did change my mind about going through with the music ed program. I also took the theory test and, though missing a few of the intervals, I think that I did pretty good. Good enough to pass out of Ear Training I, and depending on the mood of the teacher, maybe even Ear Training II. All that's left is the audition in August, and I need to sing two classical songs (for the B.M. in music ed) and then audition on the alto (for the B.A. in world music) so I have my summer work cut out for me. [BTW does anyone know where that phrase came from?]

The SFSU Chamber Singers concert is tomorrow at St. Albert's Priory in Oakland. It's a Catholic Monastery, with a church whose inside is marble. It's going to be a great way to end our year, especially because a small group of us is going to sing "Sh-Boom" for the encore. Our director, Josh Habermann, loves a cappella, and so he always welcomes groups who want to sing. If anything, it gives a big break from the regular repertoire.

Otherwise, have a good weekend, and I'll give the recap next week.
