Frustration/Stress = Best Week Ever

6

I work best under stress. Considering I have so much to do, for example:

Write 9 reactions to articles about art and music. http://www.artsjournal.com

Finish Learning 2 Piano Peices (All of Me (jazz standard by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons 1931) and Minuet by Bach)

Finish Learning 8 scales in all 12 note ranges.

Drum Jury in 2 days.

Music Literature Project on Fugue

Once this is all done... I'm thinking about doing a seriously heavy metal cover on drums. So if you wanna hear something, I take suggestions!

On the side of creativity, learning music theory is a pain in the ass, but it definitely makes some light bulbs go off in my head and now all these unfinished songs I had since high school I can use those tools to finish writing them.

13 days left of this semester... I'm so ready for summer break.

Can relate to that, I'm also quite efficient under stress. Your achievements are impressive!

@dariianity thank you. I’ve still got some time and it’s gonna be crazy when I audition for the main universities that have a much more complex and competitive music program. But that’ll happen later this year. Got the summer to work on my playing skills.
