Today I had to undergo the 5 most stressful minutes of the pianist experience: the collegiate piano technique jury. It goes like this, you walk into an office, you greet two ladies that control your fate, you play scales and arpeggios that they pick, you play them while they stare at you in judgment, you sight read, you thank them, and you leave. It sounds simple but it's the most stressful 5 minutes ever. However, even though there is a small time of stress, I never thought I would have been able to say that I could play all of my scales and arpeggios with such confidence in the fingerings, evenness, and tone. Granted, they are nowhere near perfect but as time goes by and I practice my technique will become even better and those 5 minutes will become even easier and technique won't be so terrifying. I love it here!!!
