F major, D minor

I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that I was in the examination room and somehow whatever I play could not go out of F major. No matter what I did, I was still in F major and somehow it later became D minor and modulated back to F major again. My exam pieces, one of them coincidentally in D minor, kept going on through my head. So weird! I was too worried about my exam today perhaps.

Anyway!

Thank you all who left me messages of encouragement. They are all appreciated. =)

The exam went off well except for a few minor glitches. The examiner was rather kind. He tested me on A, Bb majors, F# minors, etc. I didn't get anything beyond 4# I think. My sight reading piece was in Eb major in common time with an occasional 3/4. Luckily it wasn't anything like what Natalie the Goat got (6b in 5/8).

On the down side, I think my sight singing was plainly a gone case. My identification of chords was ok, I hope. Otherwise, I think I should pass without any problem. With a bit of luck I might get a Merit. =P And now for my diploma next year!

It's now time to go into retreat! I need to form a new embouchure and work on my reeds, so probably I'll disappear from the playing world for a while until next year. My blog will still be there though.

Ok, time to ZZzzzzZZZZzzz? see you people later!
