We had an orientation meeting tonight for first-time attendees at 4 Bayview Street, the SummerKeys headquarters.
There were about 12 students in our "first-timer" group. They were a mix of cellists, vocalists, pianists and one violinist I believe. Naturally, I forget everyone's name immediately.
I was shocked to find out I'm not the most inexperienced cellist in the group. There was another student who has only been playing 6 months. Of course with my luck, it's probably 6 months on cello after a career as a concert violist and she warms up with the Haden C. But regardless, it seems like we have an interesting mix.
We were told earlier classes in the summer were much lighter on the student numbers. Last week apparently had 4 students. This week, however, there are nearly 50 students. Crazy.
We also got our schedules today. A group class each morning at 9 am, 3 hours of scheduled practice time and 1 hour practice session. Going to be interesting to see how my fingers hold up.
I'll have pictures of the SummerKeys facilities and practice sessions tomorrow.
