First semester is going really well so far. My Fundamentals in Music Theory class is pretty easy and straightforward so far. It's a zero-credit class, so it won't count towards my GPA, but it's required in order to continue with all the music programs.
I just had my percussion midterm this past Friday. I'd known about it for weeks and was pretty nervous, but am so relieved and happy now that it's over, and I got an A:) It was worth 50% of our total grade, and included a straightforward written part and a more intimidating playing part where we had to play the snare drum. My music reading skills are still developing, so I was not too confident about the playing part. But I practiced like crazy, and it paid off. Considering how far I've come so far (musically), I'm really freakin' proud of myself:)
I have my guitar midterm next Friday. A little nervous about that, but not as much as for percussion. I get to pick 3 songs and work at getting really good at playing them.
The semester is just about half over, and spring break is right around the corner! Things are looking good.
