Three-Eighths
Dec. 18, 2012—Hello one, hello all! It has been a long time since I've posted. Not that I haven't been blogging... it was just a matter of actually publishing my drafts. Ah, well, now that this semester's over and I'm still at Vanderbilt, let me fill you in on a few things and explain why I'm still in warm-weather Nashville.
Performances! Performances! And yes….more performances!
Dec. 13, 2012—As the semester comes to a close, student group performances start popping up like mad! Every weekend is so chock full of performances you can't conceivably attend them all and still have time to study and sleep. As such, I wanted to write this blog post to talk about all the great students organizations that Vanderbilt has to offer.
Ain’t No Party Like a Steel Drum Party
Dec. 4, 2012—I've mastered the art of steel drum and conquered my first Vandy steel drum performance. Look ma, I'm growing up! So cultured.
Music Making
Nov. 22, 2012—This post coming to you fresh from the Yeh kitchen, as Mr. Turkey makes friends with his neighbors Butternut Squash, Carrot, and Potatoes in the Oven. Today I was practicing again. Such is the life. Anyways, I had the strangest feeling: the realization of the complete disconnect among the fingers of my left hand, which tapped the wire strings against the neck of my cello, and my right arm swinging back and forth like a pendulum- right, left, right left- and the noise which was just coming out of the wood. It was so bizarre.
A Day in the Life of a Blair Student
Nov. 18, 2012—This past Thursday, during an hour break between class and marching band rehearsal, I went to the Turner Recital Hall at the Blair School of Music for a concert.
A Fun Thursday Night
Nov. 17, 2012—Thursday night my best friend and I celebrated the end of a long week by having dinner together and seeing the Blair Symphonic Choir perform!
Art in the Vandy Bubble
Nov. 12, 2012—I am not creative or artistic in any way. But, that's ok! I can still get my fill of the performing arts here on campus. This weekend, I saw Taming of the Shrew, played Drag Queen Bingo and saw Later That Same Evening.
Symphonie Fantastique
Nov. 7, 2012—So what better for Blair kids to do on their Friday night than go to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for a delightful evening of music? We boarded the bus downtown, and when we arrived, we saw around half of our school there. From the pianists to violists to vocalists to horn players, the Blair School of Music had invaded the Nashville Symphony. Yes, that is what we music majors do to kick off our weekends.
I Might As Well Be Living in The Sound of Music
Apr. 24, 2012—It's concert and performance season, and I'm not missing any opportunities to cheer on my friends in their musical endeavors. Perhaps one day their talents will rub off on me. Fingers crossed!
Living Sounds Concert
Apr. 9, 2012—Last Wednesday I went to my first concert at the Blair School of Music, and I had a great time! I went to the Living Sounds Concert, which is a concert put on by Blair several times throughout the year. It offers a chance for student composers to premiere pieces they have been working on,...
