First lessons at Academy
I woke up at midday. Mum and I dressed up. I was to be at the Academy at 2 pm, and mum wanted to go to the office. So we left together. On the way I bought a notebook to write in. There was no driver available, so I went by metro. It took almost an hour, but I arrived on time.
First I had a Russian lesson... The teacher realised that I know Russian well enough not to attend her lessons, so she'll talk to the Dean.
Then I met my composition teacher. He asked me questions about my past and my musical past, so I told him. Then he wanted to listen to my compositions. I played my waltz to him, and he said he liked it. The rest, he said, he'll listen at home (I gave him a CD, and the score). We arranged a lesson on Thursday at 4 pm or so - after the piano lesson. The teacher himself is a cool guy, quite young, so it's gonna be fun.
After the lesson, I had an hour of nothing-to-do, so I went to the buffet. Bought myself a bottle of water and a chocolate bar. Sat at one of the tables, and started composing music. I wrote a few bars of something...
Finally, I had a music harmony and theory lesson. That was real fun. The class consists of 4 Asian girls and me. What we actually do in the lesson is a lot of fun - we do a bit of singing, a bit of reading notes, a bit of rythm work, and other stuff. The teacher, Tatyana her name, is quite young, and very friendly. It's going to be good fun studying in the Academy, this year at least.
Mum and dad picked me up at 7 pm, and we went to the office. I phoned the agency, but they weren't very helpful, as before, and the landlord is still away: all I'm getting is an answering machine. I'll send him a fax or something. Anyway, then I phoned Galya. We spoke for 22:04 (!!) minutes... Every time I hear her voice, I feel warm inside. I miss her so much.
When we came home, I took out the few bars I wrote in the morning, and from it wrote a whole piece. A small one, but with a definite theme. The composition teacher asked me to prepare 5 or so intros for piano pieces - to compose them, that is. Well, I'll write five whole pieces instead!
I went to sleep at midnight.
