Hey there, I'm Chris,
I just passed my audition in May & I'm due to start basics on Sept 4th 06. I'm a French Horn, Cornet player and a pianist, yet Ive been accepted on Clarinet and Viola!! 
So yes.....Ive had to lay down my beloved Horn and get to grips with licking a piece of wood, still the way I look at, if I'm being paid to play music, I'm laughing! |

I was a cornet player before auditions, but somehow they managed to train me on Clarinet Saxamaphone and Violin. I dug my heels in on the Violin though....A fair 2nd Bike... It gives you a better perspective when you come onto your BM's course in later life having had the experience of other instruments first. Welcome, and good luck....

Nice to see you made it Chris. You'll have a brand new boss at the school you won't break him, he is teflon coated and a damn fine musician

Long is the path young Ninja, learning is slow, knowledge is power it is. Be strong and learn the way, walk the path of the walkers
