My fitness journey began approximately one year ago, with my decision to spend the summer marching with the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps. Read more about my path to fitness and resources and suggestions to find your own!

Welcome back! Today I'm excited to share something that I've been working on with my fabulous mentor and teacher Will Baker. This week, he chose to feature my sequence from The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby. You can read more about why I chose this tune and the history of the song on his website.

Recently I’ve had the opportunity to participate in many auditions for both scholastic and professional ensembles. From August to October, I’ll have taken NINE orchestra auditions alone! Now, that’s a lot of auditions, and in hindsight it may have been a couple too many, especially for my first cycle of professional auditions. However, I learned SO much from these last several weeks, on both preparation and execution of auditions, that I still believe it was worthwhile, and I wanted to share some of the things that I’ve learned so far.
