Music Performance, General

Your alarm blares at 7 AM. First up is Music Theory, analyzing counterpoint until your brain feels like a tangled mess. Later, you head to a practice room for two solid hours on your instrument, diligently working through assigned etudes. A stubborn passage from Bach's Cello Suites keeps tripping you up, a small setback, but you push through it. After a quick lunch, you meet your TA, Maria, who gives you constructive feedback on your theory homework, clarifying a tricky chord progression before your afternoon Ear Training session.
