Here's some pix of our recitals at SMA. There was a big range of ability and style in all the recitals which kept them interesting. They had recitals every afternoon the last week, a few evening reacitals, a chamber group recital, and a honors recital on the last full day. I had the opportunity to play in the first evening recital, accompany for several afternoon recitals, play a violin and a piano duet in the chambers recital, and I also got to accompany a cellist and play a solo in the honors recital. My favorite one was probably the two duets. They were both a lot of fun. Everyone did a really awsome job and I hope they keep it up!

Our teachers at SMA were so AWESOME this year!!!!! I had Ms.Graby as my private piano teacher which I was very happy about even though I would have been happy with any of the teachers this year. Then I had Mrs.Bambard for theory, and Mr.Bombard for Music History, sectionals, orchestra, and he also taught violin and cello private lessons. Mr. and Mrs.Bombard are the ones in the bottom picture with their daughter and Ms.Graby is the one on the right in the middle picture. The one next to her is Ms. soon to be Mrs.Moe;she was one of the violin/viola teachers and I accompanied several of her students so I worked with her alot too. The Oriental lady in the top picture was Ms.Song. She was Emily's teacher and was absolutely amazing!!!!! The teaching staff was one of the main reasons I wanted to go to camp so badly this year because I knew it would help out alot at college if I already knew alot of the staff. I learned so much from everyone and I'm excited to see what I'll be able learn at college.

Okay I'm sorry it's taking so long between posts. Work has become really hectic and I'm spending alot of time practicing getting ready for college auditions :-/. This is my post on our counselers at SMA 06. We had a good group this year very different than last year but good still. There names left to right are Christine, Paul, Stephany, Micah, and the girl on the end wasn't a counseler but she was Micah's girlfriend so she was always around. I was very thankful for them this year because they had so much helpful advice to prepare me for college this fall. Two of them were seniors with music majors and one was a music major for one or two years so they were loaded with helpful info. They did a wonderful job and were very helpul in making camp an enjoyable experience.
