hey is anyone going the Royal Womens Hospital Ball gig in the town hall next friday or is this just a orchestra concert. apparently we have rehersals all day starting at 9am and finnish at 11pm for a 20minute spot before that. great organisation from the arts unit on this one :p

Hey, did anyone go to meet the music or is going tomorrow night. You may as well get there 10 minutes late because the first pieces is complete shit!! but if you enjoy listening to crappy radios and thats all for 8 minutes you might enjoy it. As for the Bass Trombone Concerto....well lets just...

hey skankit, can you improvise and all that sorta stuff?? i really wanted to get into jazz but you have to admit brass bands and orchestras are BETTER!!! :D

just treat it as your HSC, really focus on your contrasting pieces and orchestral excerpts if that applys and know all scales. but most importantly practise sight reading, this is practically the most important part of the audition. also like a job interview ask lots of questions and look...

yeh that sounds like a good idea, how cool would it be if we could form a new brass ensemble in the Sydney area, that is what sets aside dedicated musicians from con music students. if we could form something like that it would really give us more of a passion for music which at all satges we...

at this years Encore they had 4 composers perform out of 19 performances all up..

ARGH!!! everybody says that you will never get a job after uni and thats is very true if you plan to stay in sydney, but you have to concider moving interstate or overseas if you are really serious about becomming a full time musician. Me im gonna try and do Honours after BMus (Perf) and then...
