I finished all of my audition recordings for the High Holy Days on Friday. What a relief!!!!! This is the culmination of several weeks of intense practice and daily lessons to get the pieces up to performance level. I am now in the process of sending out these recordings to various synagogues in an effort to find a position for this year.

I am back to learning the rest of the service, and lessons are going back to 2 per week instead of 6. Hopefully I will learn at a quicker pace than in the past and not have to repeat the daily lesson routine!

I have had time for no other activities due to the extreme schedule I have been keeping. I have been so exhausted that I actually slept right through Saturday morning the last two weeks and did not make it to services. I am looking forward to being well rested so that I can resume a more normal schedule.
