The Orientation

#1 Son got oriented today and yesterday.  I made an appearance at the Music School Parent Informational Meeting.  Basically what I found out is this:  When you're in music school, you study music.  All the time.  You don't do much of anything else.  Not sure why this was a bit of a shock for me, but it was.

There was a mom at the meeting who kept talking about how her kid is double majoring in clarinet and biochemistry.  She was fairly critical of some of the music school procedures and I had an inkling that she was a bigger fan of the biochemistry than the clarinet.

#1 Son will be taking Ensemble, Orchestral Theory, Jazz Theory, Jazz Improv, Combo and Bass Lesson. And about 5 hours of practicing a day.   He had a science class, but  #1 Son switched that to Combo.  #1 son is thrilled.  We're heading to music school peeps.  We're heading to music school.
