Currently Unemployed...kinda

Well it's now Memorial Day weekend...


I've been enjoying the sunny and beautiful weather...

I've been swimming at the pool...








I've been playing the piano...

I've been enjoying my free time...

BUT...

I'm still without a teaching job for the fall!!!

I was admitted to the DMA program for Music Education...

I recieved a scholarship for the 2006-2007 school year from the Louise Kerr Music Endowment Fund...not a lot...in fact, it wont even cover the cost of a single credit at ASU. :-(

I got into the Sonoran Desert Chorale and am still waiting to hear about the PBC.

More soon...

Schools Out For Summer!!!

As the temperature continues to rise and the sun continues to shine in Arizona, I am faced with a lot of free time on my hands and no job for the fall.

I finished the semester officially on Thursday, May 4th after my Masters portfolio defense. I ended the semester is a 4.0 GPA and am one class short of my Masters Degree in Choral Music Education. I will be taking Music of the Carribbean this summer to fulfill my final course and then in August I will be granted that Masters of Music - it's about time!!! Unfortunetly, I will have to wait until December to walk and be officially "hooded" as they call it. I'm not sure what that is all about, but I will get back to you.

Despite the fact that I have had a lot of "free time" in the last 10 days, I have been up to quite a bit! A re-cap for those of you at home on the East coast...

I auditioned for the Phoenix Bach Choir and although I don't anticipate getting into the choir, it was a good experience for me! (I will also be auditioning for the Sonoran Desert Chorale this coming Thursday - as I need to find some group to sing in this fall). I have applied for a number of jobs and have already been on one interview and have three more coming up this week - keep your fingers crossed for me. I bought myself a graduation gift...more to come on that, as of right now it's still top secret!

I have officially decided to stay in the valley of the sun for another couple years. This coming fall I will be taking some evening classes to begin work on my doctorate while hopefully teaching choral music at a high school in the valley.

More to come...
