A New Beginning in Las Vegas

I am at the beginning of a new chapter of my life, and I don't yet know where it will take me.  I am going to miss the University of Utah, the great learning institution it is, along with the friends I made and the professors who taught me so much. I am happy that even though I have yet to complete my degree, I left the U with a bang!

I had an eventful year at the University of Utah.  Just to name a few:

-I attended the National Flute Association Convention in Las Vegas in August 2012 with the Runnin' Fl'Utes

-I performed a piccolo solo with the Runnin' Fl'Utes in December

-I rehearsed and conducted The Moldau with the same group in March

-I played 1st piccolo part in one of the most epic pieces ever composed  music for it's 100th anniversary celebration, Rite of Spring by Stravinsky, along with some other great repertoire, with the University of Utah Philharmonia

-I had the privilege of performing in a Masterclass with renowned flutist John Thorne

-I held my Junior Recital for my Utah friends, family, and professors

More details about my performances, along with recordings, to be posted soon!  

I am now in Las Vegas, transferring to UNLV to finish my degree.  I do not know yet what my course of action will be, or how long it will take to complete my degree.  We will see how it goes when I meet with the Music Adviser.

Once I get settled, I want to seek out as many learning, teaching, and performance opportunities as I can.  Where will I go from here?  I have so many goals and aspirations I want to reach.  It is time for me to get out of my comfort zone, and get out there.  The possibilities are endless!
