A pretty banged up Miraphone 186, a RT-44, and Blazhevich book #1 etude 6 was the audition material.

The most exciting part is that the HS bought 2 new Miraphones hehehehehehe................ :shock:
I would put a good signature here, but i dont have one, so this will make do.

I’ve never been so sleepy as when I practiced piano in music school. I would wake up with the keyboard imprinted on my face.

I failed my proficiency exam....

I remember an end of term jury at Northwestern - all the brass had the same sight reading, some uncommon transposition on trumpet or horn - forget which. I asked if they wanted the correct transposition, "That would be good" said Vince Chickowicz". When I finished he said, "I wish my trumpet students sight read transpositions that well."

Moral to the story - do a lot of sight reading and transposing on the fly.

Ah yes, sight reading. Sight reading was part of my military band audition. Then we played the same music for 5 years. :shock: Many people can play the gig but to win the audition there has to be a discriminator.

I guess we can rule out hypnopedia as an option for learning the piano. Bummer, just thinking about it I'm ready for a nap.
