I had a concert on 12/03 with this ensemble.

Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra


I have gone to rehearsals with this orchestra every Sunday (starting 09/12) from 1:30-5 except for the following days:

10/16
11/28
12/19
12/26
01/02
01/23
02/06


I also had concerts on the 11/13 and 10/16 at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

Other


Small jazz combo at Mt Sac that rehearsed once a week  with Mr. Elwood (the head of the jazz department), and performed on 11/29.

Several rehearsals and a performance for a friends recital, involving musicians from Mt Sac, CSU Long Beach, and working professionals.

MUS 16 was a percussion ensemble that actually met from 4:30-6:35 (the schedule is wrong) every Wednesday, and also included a 1/2 hour lesson every week. I missed this class 3 times but don't have the exact dates.

final grades



Literal


a) I, Lindsey Eastham, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) I completed gajillion hours or rehearsal, that led to several performances, and to me becoming a better musician.


Interpretive 


Although it takes a ton of preparation to prepare for any concert, there were a few concerts that I spent a lot of time practicing and rehearsing for. Michael's recital was pretty challenging, there were many late rehearsals, and I had to transcribe a lot of the parts. Here are some of the recordings (I was playing vibraphone):

Shade of Jade


The PSYO concerts were also very challenging, because the rehearsals and performances are so high pressure.



Applied 


     I was able to apply all of the theories and topics discussed in my research to my practice, rehearsal, and performance. This was especially helpful in PSYO where we discuss a lot about the composition and how we should perform it, similar to the topics I will be covering in my 20 min presentation.  In my personal practice, I was inclined to research more about the composers, and their intentions. I have already seen a positive impact on my playing.


    





I have too many pictures. 

and I spent to long finding them to not put them on here. :)

Independent Study Update

1) I am logging my rehearsals and performances as my first independent study.

2) This gives me a chance to try out my EQ answers in real performances.

3) I have already had many hours of rehearsals and a few performances, i just need need to start recording them, and get my teachers to sign off.
