BoiseTrip

I am back from the Boise, Idaho trip that I went on to go and get a lesson from Professor Del Parkinson at Boise State!! I had soo much fun! I really enjoyed myself and Del was really impressed with both my sister and I!

I was so estatic to meet him! He was very nice and is a genius at the piano! He helped me a whole ton on my Warsaw Concerto by Richard Addinsell, and all the little helps he gave are making me estatic to go and practice it all!! It is amazing what a little professonal help can do for you!

I also got to use the practicing rooms to get ready. That was a really interesting experience because it gave me a little taste of college. The practicing rooms are definately not for the claustrophobic type. They were air tight and you had to flip the "Air" switch to "on" when you were practicing. Scary, huh? And they could be locked from the outside and the inside. But the reason for these...shall we say...features...is because they were sound proof. The entire room was filled with these glass doored monkey cages with pianos in them. But I'd have to admit, even though they had a dungeon-like quality to them, it really helped you focus on what you were doing.

The best part is that I get to go again one more year for a lesson from Del before I get to compete for a scholarship in piano after my senior year!!!!! I cannot wait for that!!!
