Student Spotlight: Performance Party Preview Part 2Our 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.
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. Join us for the Performance Party! |
