File Organization

Today we took pictures of our file organization system. Here's the 486 folder with all the trimmings:

If you think that looks organized, you should look at my music. It's organized into genres, composers (with dates attached), and divided there into the works and groups that perform the works. Then, it's cross referenced into artists (in a separate section--all with shortcuts) and all the albums with more than one work are represented on all the composer's in the album's folders (with shortcuts again). You'd think I've got too much time on my hands, but it really wasn't hard, and really saves on time if you're looking for something. I just need to do that for the other half of my music.

Getting started with Blogs

I have never created a blog before. I hope that this will prove useful in the future. I am a bit of a tech nut, as my dad is a computer programmer. I went through a time in middle school where I wanted to be just like him, so I feel fairly comfortable with technology.

Right now I am finished with a major milestone--my recital. As a music education major, I only have to give one recital. It only has to be a half hour, but I decided I might as well make it an hour. So it was just me for an hour of solo piano music, with 70 of my friends, family and professors watching the culmination of my four years study of piano at UT.
