We've spent the last two days on one page of the Prokofiev Sonata with Wibb. I don't think you could get anything so different from the Lessons we had with Tara! Wibb is using the Prokof (we all have to play bits of it in class..) to get down and dirty about the fundamentals of flute playing. It's interesting stuff, but hard to digest on the spot. I think I'll take it home and mull it over.
The longer I spend here, the more in love with the whole thing I become. I can't belive how fortunate we are to end up with such a fab group of flute players. EVERY ONE of them are funny, interesting and caring people, and we have become very close. It's the opposite of College where you know that you're being judged by every one else, and daily life is one big competition. Everyone supports each other here and we have taken to doing things together. Tonight we all went to see the dance performance (a modern take on Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons') and tomorrow we will all go on a trip up the Gondola and to the Banff Springs Hotel for afternoon tea (Kaili's romantic idea). That's after we've heard Gloria pump it out with those horns, of course.
I've put up some pictures of last weekend's hike to Lake Louise. It was incredible - we were up by the glaciers and hiking through "bear country" to gorgeous glacial lakes and forests. When I came home I couldn't find anyone about, so being a Sunday night I dressed up, went in to town and bought myself dinner for one, a bottle of Canadian white and a hunk of fudge (TURTLE flavour) and indugled in front of "My Best Friend's Wedding". This is the life, baby!!
