My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary

What a busy day! Nothing much beyond the regular classes occurred today. Horn studio was fabulous. Egmont is amazing and props to Adam for the wonderful arrangement of the Carol. Today, I had my first "late night" practice session. Adam was also there, so we chatted for a while during and afterwards - it kept me awake! I also finally joined MENC and IHS, so I have been reading a lot of articles and such, especially Froydis'. Froydis has become my new hero and I really would like to study with her at a music camp or something.

So I almost got to two hours on my busyiest day that also includes a piano lesson and practicing. My morning session was still difficult to get through with the troubles I was having. The evening session was great! While my tone was not the greatest, I felt that I accomplished a lot running my etudes and solos and then working on certain specifics. I am very excited for a lesson tomorrow!
