Project management

"Enter the Princes" is finished, which means it's time to start bringing people over to the house so we can go through the Act I book and score.

It also means that I should take a few minutes to project-manage the rest of the year.

January

  • Finish MELISANDE Act I (not counting end-of-act number which will be written after I finish drafting Act II)
  • Freelance writing
  • Working with Larry on piano pedagogy
  • Organisting
  • Symphony chorus accompanying
  • Playing auditions for community theater production of WAITRESS
  • Prep Ravel Sonatine (first movement [which I can't use in a recital because Larry's prepping the full set]) and Brahms Rhapsody (the second one [I've played this before so it should be easy to recap])
