Student Spotlight: Performance Party Preview Part 2

Our first Performance Party of the school-year is quickly approaching, so we’re sitting down with some students to ask them about their preparation for the event.  You can read part 1 of our Student Spotlight Series here.  In the following interview Laura Cetilia talks with her cello student Jay.

Jaycello

L: Have you played at a performance party before?

J: Yes, I have.

L: How many times?

J: I don’t know, I can’t remember but probably ever since I began.

L: You mean every year since you’ve been at CMW?

J: Yeah, every year.

L: Is this performance going to be different experience?

J: Yes.

L: Why?

J: Because I have to count everyone in.

L: Oh, for the cello quintet?

J: Yeah. Since I’m doing it for my solo piece with Sakiko I said, “Well, what the heck, I’ll do it.”

L: You volunteered?

J: Yes.

L: Wow! So you have a lot more responsibility?

J: Yes, plus I’m playing three times.

L: What are all the performances you’re doing?

J: I’m playing with Green Magic, my cello group, and I’m playing this song. (Humoresque by Dvorak)

L: Are you nervous about it?

J: Yeah.

L: How do you deal with your nerves?

J: I don’t. I dunno, it goes away. By the time I leave the stage I calm down.
