It's pretty easy. You shouldn't really worry about it. Check out the syllabus, it will tell you the rules regarding modulation, time sig. changes, etc. And no, you don't have to have perfect pitch. They couldn't possibly require you to have it, as it's not really something you can learn... :)

That's the Borders I usually go to :D

I'll share my study technique. 1. Make food and get a drink 2. Get comfortable. 3. Put some music on. Turn it up loud, so you can't hear outside noise that could cause a distractions. 4. Look at your closed textbooks/class notes. 5. Pull out a totally unrelated book, eg LotR, and read that...

Mine were $413 for one subject. Thank God I don't have to buy more books for that subject, they last me for the three years. I was annoyed by the fact that the only place I could buy them was Lathams. Way to go uni/co-op bookshops, don't bother stocking music text books or anything.

B.Mus, at the conservatorium (Well, obviously...)

Yes.

I don't know about all-time favourite...I don't have one of those. Hell, I can't even pick just one all-time favourite author :p Plus, most of the stuff I read is in a series. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is a very good book though.

Ahh, had a pile of packages from ebay that arrived over the last week waiting from me when I got home today :D Sooooo.. Anne McCaffrey; To Ride Pegasus, The Renegades of Pern Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Anne Scarborough; Acorna's Children; Second Wave, Power Play, Powers That Be Anne McCaffrey...

The Great Hunt - Robert Jordan. I'm re-reading the Wheel of Time again :)

I didn't like Hannibal Rising as much as the others :(

I like it, it's sweet. But it's not something I'd expect, unless I had my arms full or something. That's just really common courtesy though, I'd hold a door for someone else in the same situation. (Actually this is kinda weird. The same topic was up for discussion on another forum I'm on a...

The Conservatorium? Depends what sort of music you play. There's Newtown Performing Arts, McDonald performing arts to start with. Some other school have good reputations for music as well.

RJ's blog Things are looking pretty good for him at the moment. And he seems pretty determined to finish off AMoL. Here's to hoping, anyway. He also wants to write more on And if he doesn't, I'm sure there are plenty of us prepared to drag him back from the grave and kill him again. :)

Edit: Beaten to it :p They can be very similar, and in many cases cross over. Fantasy generally uses magic of some sort as a major part of the plot, and it's often loosely based on legends and mythology. Science Fiction usually involves scientific elements or advanced technology; eg space...

Haha, yes, it's a trilogy. One of my favourites, actually :D

The Gormenghast Cycle by Mervyn Peake First book that popped into my head.

I thought the Da Vinci Code was too predictable. I'm reading Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb

Great idea! :D ;)

Nice books, Jhakka! How many times have I said that I need to stop spending money on books? :p I got Robin Hobb's Tawny Man trilogy today, and Shaman's Crossing. I was given a boxed-signed-hardcover limited edition of this for Christmas, and I had to buy a reading copy too. Also got Terry...

I just started reading that too
