Pre-College Division at Juilliard Oh, mistress mine-- Where are you roaming? Oh, stay and hear! Your true love's coming, That may sing both high and low... There's... this thing. I really want to do it, for bassoon. But I'm scared as hell of the auditions. I don't know what to do, you guys. D: I think I'll audition next year... =P My parents can't understand for the life of them why I'm so nervous. "If you really love music, you won't be afraid to do it." ...I love music, I hate auditions. What's so hard to understand about that? No likey pressure. Do likey pretty bassoon sounds. I'm actually pretty excited, though. This should be exciting, even if I don't get in. Trip no further, pretty sweetling; Journeys end in lovers meeting, Ev'ry wise man's son doth know. What is love? 'Tis not hereafter...

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

If you made it, would you be able to get into Juilliard? Isn't it a prestigious music school? That would be so cool! Just go for it, the worse they can tell you is no, and you'll be back where you started. You'll never know until you do it. Just work hard and try out, then you can't regret anything.

You can bet I regret never having taken the AP Stats test. I find the unknown is scarier than a failure.

But I do understand your nervousness, competing and auditions are so nerve-wracking, much more than performing.

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky
You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

Oh, mistress mine--
Where are you roaming?
Oh, stay and hear!
Your true love's coming,
That may sing both high and low...

Well, it's sort of... preparation for music school. I heard from a father of a violinist in the Pre-College Division that one of her instructors said she's got a really good chance of getting in on the principle that she's done the Pre-College Division.

I know, I'm trying to put my nerves aside >:
It's a great opportunity. I think I'm going to show my bassoon teacher lady before I make any decisions.

And yeah, that's exactly it. I love performing, but the idea of being judged and all is a little unnerving.

Trip no further, pretty sweetling;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Ev'ry wise man's son doth know.
What is love?
'Tis not hereafter...

You should totally do it then.

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky
You will see your beauty every moment that you rise
