Trombone Institute of Technology - M. Davis Laura - J.J. Johnson Transcription Concertino for Trombone - Gordon Jacob Bagatelle for Trom. + Piano - Eric Gross Sonata (Vox Gabrieli) - S. Sulek Elegy for Mippy II - Bernstien Less than a week away! Anyone else in '07 play the trombone?

I know how you feel ^^ I play trombone, and after my trials I was stuffed. 7 days left, woo! I actually find preparing for Music so much better than say English. I dreading having to start my study back up for the exams...

With just over a week before the performances begin, how does everyone feel about their's? Mine are on the first day, Monday 3rd, at 8.30am. So however bad your time is, don't worry, mine's worse. Do you think you're prepared? Have you got a practise plan worked out for this coming week? I'm...

Agreed. I don't really like exams, they are quite silly. I guess there's a sense of acheivement and they do usually give you some good repetoire to play, as well as practising in an audition-like setting, but the whole measuring ability through grades is just dumb. Thankfully, not many places do...

Hey I was wondering from anyone in the Jazz course if the Aptitude test is on the same day as your audition. If not, when is it? They say the auditions are on from 26 Nov- 7 Dec

Did anybody go? I was there for like an hour just to catch Craig Scott and Dave Theke give a talk/play about the jazz course. How does everyone feel about audtitions? Did it put your mind at ease or make you more nervous?

For Bass, can't go wrong with "So What" by Miles Davis. You can learn how to solo modally (only two chords in the tune) If you're looking for a blues "Freddie Freeloader" is a good one. Not as lame as some other blues changes, or you can check out something like "Watermelon Man" or "Cantelope...

What elective were you thinking of doing? So your school offers Music 2 but not Ext.? How odd.. Although I don't do it myself, if you did composition or performance I don't think it would make a difference if you did it through correspondance or not. For example, I'm doing Ext. Performance...

In regards to the aptitude test, you need to do a Jazz Aptitude test as part of your audtition for Jazz Performace at the Conservatrium (which is Sydney Uni). Is this what you mean?

Is there anyway to make myself more motviated to memorise essays and quotes etc. At the moment it isn't hard, but there's no motivation because I'm not learning anthing. I have a good technique for memorising essays and I can easily do it, but often I find myself getting easily distracted (i.e...

sK8TER BOY by Averill Lavigne Pretty much every New Found Glory or Blink 182 song. I have some in my head atm but can't think of the names of them. Thats all I cant think off the top of my head. There must be thousands.

Pff, I know. Its like they just assume because we're student's we aren't busy. Actually I didn't choose to go to Caringbah because of Music, I wasn't that into it when I was in year 6 (which seems like an AGE ago). And besides, there are only 4 of us doing Music 2 at my school. Our school isn't...

Amen to that. Whats even worse is we rang them continually for about a month trying to get the date and they finally gave it to us BUT THEY GAVE US THE WRONG TIME! Man thats annoying, having to get all five of my accompanists to rework their schedules. Anyway, I'm on the 3rd of September. The...

You only need ad material for module C, because Mod A is comparing two texts and Mod B is a crictical study of a text (King Lear). Module C you should have two additional material (but they wont necessarily ask for two). But my trial is in an hour and I'm only using one so SHH! Good luck. Is...

Just had Chemistry. Went ok-ish, but considering the amout I studied (8 prac papers and like 2 weeks) it wasn't as easy as I was hoping, but we'll see. General Maths and Modules tomorrow. Moderatly prepared for both but needs more work. BUT I'M JUST SO TIRED! Any tips?

Hey all musicians. I play the trombone and I'm doing Music2 + Ext, al performance. Next year I hope to go and do the jazz course at the con, and then get a job as an audio engineer. I just finished my trials and they went very well. I've finished my composition (but I still have to score the...

How did yours go? Have you done it yet? General thoughts? I was pretty stoked with mine. Man it was a long blow, though. And I missed one note in the sight singing but still snagged a 5/5.

Nothing is wasted in jazz! No seriously, if you do the jazz course, I doubt you will regret it. Learning jazz properly isn't as simple as many think, and classical training will always assist you in whatever musical style you decide to venture. Why not try learning jazz piano? You sound like...

5 exams in three days. I'm worried about my stamina. After the first couple of exams I'm worried I'll be too buggered to study for the others. And also how will my poor little hand survive! Any lefty's out there will feel my pain.
