So near to the end!!

Well it is may now and the pressure of college work is mounting up. Gradedd unit portfolio, adorno essay, session skills report, DAW and of course our composition band work. This is so stressful. This week i have manily been focusing on my graded unit portfolio and presentation. With every piece of evidence i put in the more i find i have to do for this folio. I cant belive how much work there is to do. HELP!!!!!!!! so i have tried to do it in a structured mannor of doing it subject by subject but find myself doing it like the easyiest bit first. However with only 1 week left till the interview it is mounting up fast.

Also this week i had my final concert of the year with the kirkcauldy youth windband. It was a great success. Many parents and friends showed up to support there children. It was a great experiance for me to teach these children and i loved every minute of it. I have been offered to come back next year which i have accepted so many more performances coming up next year.

This week has taught me how to work under pressure but still remain calm which i have to admit is very hard. However this is a good ability to have as an instrumental insructor as you may need to work under pressure during tearm time with accomniments or timetabling.

so that really all i can say about this week as i need to continue my graded unit portfolio.

Cheers
