GAH!! trumpet_geek wishing she was a string player?!

*falls of chair*

whats goin on mate?! :D
I was a string player. I was 4 years old. I threw a tantrum about practice, many times. And my parents took my tiny violin away... and now my parents regret it, because I practice my trumpet.

if you want a career out of music DO NOT go to Newcastle Con!!
My teacher finished honours at Newcastle Con last year, and he's in Sinfonia now.

I don't mind off topic Joe - I just mind when the thread gets over-run if you get my drift

eg. PAU thread or Con students thread (although I suppose moons obsession with Vanessa was con related....) but yeah you get what i mean.

a mid 70s uai eh? are they a really good sax player??
i need to know how much uai goes towards getting into the course.
i know its the playing that counts for the most, but im sure uai is taken into consideration as well and music marks probably :)
