So one of my RA's is a vocal major. She told me at the beginning of the semester that her accompanist bailed last minute and asked if I wanted to do it! Um, for those of you who don't know...that's a lot of pressure. I go to her lessons once a week and play for her during her recitals, juries, and any other performances she does. If I mess up, I could very possible mess her up. It's a big deal. And yeah I'm pretty confident on the piano, but am I that good?? So I said yes, and get paid a little (so that's nice) and things have been interesting. I think her teacher is like "hmmm...let's see which pieces are really challenging for the pianist and go at lightning speed...oh, ok, I found 3 so far." Good thing I have all semester to practice them :) It's been really good for me though to have a reason to practice the piano, to broaden my skill, and to be in the music scene a little bit more.
