Well I have 5 weeks left until my final exams officially start and they cannot come soon enough, I hate waiting! I am sitting the Irish Leaving Certificate in June and for everyone who has not been through the Irish education system it is a tough final year. My college career depends solely on the results of these exams which kind of sucks just a little.
I want to study music at university so that means I have to do various interviews in order to get offers. My first audition is on Saturday in University College Cork. Wish me luck! I will be playing two pieces on the Irish Harp which is my main instrument. I'm going to play "Loftus Jones" by Turlough O'Carolan and "Interlude" by T.C. Kelly. I love the second piece! It's kind of modern classical with lots of lovely chords and runs and it is really emotionally charged.
I have been trying to decide for ages whether I want to study law or music but I think I will go for music as it is my passion and will probably give me more flexibility career-wise. . . Or maybe not?! Maybe someone could help me out on that?
Cork is where I want to study even though it is very far away from where I live right now (in the north west of Ireland), it is a beautiful city full of culture. The best place to start a career in music hopefully :).
I plan to continue this blog throughout college and document my life as a music student so stay tuned! I will take some pictures in Cork to show you how wonderful it is, fingers crossed the weather will be nice!
Live it,
Maeve x.
