Berklee Audition = Sunday

[guitarist21]

Ellen = nervous

 

Hope it goes well! I think I'm going to take a two day fast from the forum and when I want to check it, I'll go play a bunch of scales or something.

 

Ellen

[Cldplytkmn]

yep... sounds like a good plan... if you don't check back in, hope it goes well... just go be your (guitar)self...

[Cripes]

Don't bend your mind too much over it Ellen. Relax and be there for yourself. That's what the audition is all about anyway.

[Jacktheshrubber]

Good luck! Major mojo and prayers to you! Youre going to do great!

[AK47]

Get in your zone and get-r-done. You'll be fine.

[recordingtrack1]

Break a leg!

[riffmeister]

Awesome!

 

Best of luck to you!!

[knockwood]

The E.S.C. is everywhere, Ellen. It's all been arranged... Just go and have fun.

[babablowfish]

Courage isn't the absence of fear; it is the willingness to move forward despite the fear. You have courage, so just do your best.

And let us know how it goes. Good luck!

[pipedwho]

Every time I see Berklee written, I keep thinking someone just made a typo, and really meant Berkley.

 

Anyway, good luck with it all!

[Dave W.]

Best of luck. Trust in yourself and your practice will pay off.

[t60 fan]

Anxious to hear about your success.

[Roy]

Good luck Ellen.

 

May I ask what genre you will be studying?

[STEELSTRINGS]

I bet you'll do well. Let us know how it goes.

[Michael Martin]

Is this just guitar? I seem to recall that you are a multi-instrumentalist. But whatever--go get 'em! Can't wait to hear your good-news post.

[TXTooMuch]

Good Luck, have fun and you should do well!

[guit30]

Go For it Ellen

Well I just got back. Sight reading was abominable, improvising was just okay (which is annoying because its an area of strength for me), and the interview was just okay. The ear training exercises went well, I think.

 

For my prepared piece, I played "Stop This Train" off the new John Mayer album. I played acoustic! *tries to make forumites proud* Then I played electric for all the other stuff.

 

I met a really amazing six string bass player from Ohio. He was great. And kind of cute . Too bad he lives in Ohio.

Fingers crossed and best of luck. As for the cute bass player, girl, Ohio ain't that far away.

I dunno, Ellen. I think Trina there was just trying to drum up some up of that rare HC feminine cameraderie with some of that "girlfriend" speak.

Agreed. Note the comma between "bass player" and "girl." The word "girl" was a reference to you, ya ninny! Now, if Ohio is too far, go out and find a cute bass player (or drummer or keyboard dude or whatever) a little closer to home. Oh, and BTW, best of luck.

[pipedwho]

You go, girlfriend!

Thanks DeepEnd for helping me out.

 

Exactly, but allow me to clarify: As for the cute bass player, Ellen, Ohio ain't that far away. Best of luck Ellen with fingers still crossed.
