Crazy Musician (Poop)

Hey everybody, I'm a college student who transferred to music school with my associate's degree. I play oboe and cello, and I try my best to keep up with the latter. This is where I can vent about my problems and make stupid posts about music major life

[crazymusicianpoop]

I think the highlight of my school year was getting to play Roman Carnival in context. I love playing English horn so much and this was my first time getting to play an excerpt in orchestra🥹

[crazymusicianpoop]

Super cool to play Beethoven 6 this last cycle in orchestra!

[crazymusicianpoop]

Started my doctorate and teaching fellowship this semester and even though it’s been stressful I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far! One thing that I was super excited about even though it wasn’t a huge event was getting to play English horn in a trio version of the Strauss oboe concerto with my prof and a prof from another university nearby for studio!

[crazymusicianpoop]

Loved getting to play this piece for my recital this semester!

[crazymusicianpoop]

I finally decided I’m going to continue schooling to pursue my doctorate, and have accepted a teaching fellowship in the oboe studio at the new university I’ll be attending!

I’m very excited for this new adventure 🥹

Masters recital ✅ Comp Exam✅

Now I’m just waiting to hear back from a school about my application for the DMA program, and an audition in England for a training orchestra at the end of the month!

Prepping for my masters recital and my comprehensive exam in a few weeks 🥹

Really excited to play the Dutilleux though!!

[crazymusicianpoop]

I passed my prescreen and I got invited to audition for a symphony back home! I’m doing so many auditions in January and February, but I’m excited/nervous to see if something ends up working out

[crazymusicianpoop]

Prescreens done! Now to get ready for my auditions and recital next semester 😅 Love me some Stravinsky I procrastinated recording until the last minute 🤪

[crazymusicianpoop]

Pre-screens are right around the corner😭 But we’re going to make it, I actually felt good about this recording of the 2nd Mvt of Britten’s Temporal Variations

[crazymusicianpoop]

Oh my word I just got asked to sub with the Louisiana Philharmonic, I’m gonna scream 😭 I literally have to rearrange my entire life for the next 3 days for this but it’s worth it for the clout 😗✌🏽

[crazymusicianpoop]

Started a new piece called “Moments from Women” by Tina Nicholson and this movement is called “The Trollup”. It’s still far from perfect but I’m excited to program this on my masters recital!

[crazymusicianpoop]

Sometimes you just have an intrusive thought to apply for a doctoral program because the current assistant for the studio there is leaving 🧍🏽‍♀️

[crazymusicianpoop]

Teenage me wouldn’t recognize adult me and I love that for myself 🤪

[crazymusicianpoop]

I had the opportunity to play in a masterclass at my first IDRS and I’m so thankful I got to do it, it was an amazing experience! 😀

[crazymusicianpoop]

Getting ready for juries 🥴 I really love the 2nd movement of Ravel’s Sonatine, it’s a nice transcription

[crazymusicianpoop]

I love my quintet 😂😂😂
