I have been looking forward to starting this small ensemble for over half a semester. Plans have been in the works for just as long, and I've even gone so far as to hand pick the members in them... I have crafted what I believe to be an extremely strong program, and have gone so far as to analyze (or at least highlight some notes) into each piece.
I hope it's not all for naught.
I hope that I can trust these people.
I hope that I won't not use too many double-negatives.
Wait...
Honestly though, there's so much excitement going into this next semester. I am so pleased with this prospect, and yet... There are doubts. I think that I've put more work into this ensemble in a few short weeks than I have with anything in my life, ever. It's starting to become a sort of obsession.
Will I be able to craft this ensemble into what I want it to be?
Will I be able to count on the musicians?
Will I be a good enough teacher?
Will they listen to me, even though I'm their peer?
Will I lose my dignity...? Will someone caaaaaaare?
Wait.
I suppose this counts as my first "selfish" use for my blog. I'm just nervous as all get-out. Nervous enough to use such an archaic term.
You understand.
Here's a picture of a bunny to offset the anxiety.
