A piano jury is where I go, sit in front of a piano, and play suckishly in front of my piano teacher and the head of the piano department. Then this determines whether I pass piano or not for the semester.
Unfortunately, I suck. Horribly. Maybe not in terms of people who have never taken lessons before, because I can block chord anything! But compared to the people at my university, I'm to the point of "is that a small child banging on the piano?". I've taken 4 semesters of lessons and I'm STILL horrible.
See, vocal juries are different. Tomorrow I'm getting in front of my vocal teacher and two other vocal teachers to sing a very difficult piece from "Guilo Cesar" by Handel. It's fast, vengeful, difficult, with extreme runs everywhere. And guess what? Not nervous at all. I could sing that piece in my SLEEP. However, when it comes to playing a short 30 second "King William's March" on piano, made for 2 graders, I freeze up and basically piss my pants.
I need encouragement. Hardcore, guys. You guys are always therefore me, so however you guys pray or send good thoughts my way, please do so. I need it. Bad.
Thanks for reading =/
