I will keep diary everyday if possible and share you something interesting, or share my learning experience with my teachers and new friends.
Tell you something about the lecture or concerto. It must be fun! :)

The following was I wrote in Boston.

Hey! Do you know I have a classmate in Walnut Hill school whose name is also Yu-Chen, Chiu? We even have the same Chinese name. It is fun, isn't it? :)
I have many classmates who also come from Taiwan. Two of them come from LA, and one of them come rom New York. They all graduated from college and, of course, they are good at playing the instrument that they major in.

I live in a single room in the Stowe (dorm). Our dorm is a cabin!! I can live in a cozy cabin. :) There are three windows in my cute room and one of them is near my bed. Can you imagine it? That's wonderful! I often look out of it and sleep well in a nice mood.

Most of the pianos here are Steinway!! That's cool! But some of them are old, maybe they will be destroyed by me after I play them! :p

Every night we all have the night meal at 10 p.m. Woho... I can't eat much or next time when you meet me, you will be scared by me. :P

Today I finally understand why everybody works hard at playing music now. I took a piano lesson today and I was scared by the serious teacher. He asked me a lot about my thoughts when I play the piano. I was terrified by him. :( I don't like this bad feeling when I play in front of him. I know he taught me a lot but I am not happy at all. :(
I still have to face it during the camp. I know now no one can help me......I have to hang on.....
My clarinet teacher is interesting. He is a native speaker of English and he speaks English very fast. I can't uderstand him often but he is really good at body language that it makes me understand what he means. :)
Plus, I will have to perform four hands on piano on our recital. I will play the second part whose composer is Paul Hindemith. His music is hard for me because I have never played his work before. Wooh! I have much pressure!

Today (8/8) is my second time to take the piano lesson. Maybe I was scared by the teacher last time, so I practiced the piano very hard after the class. Today he says I play better and says he regards me as a good piano learner who is minor in piano! He wears a smile on his face today. I can't believe my eyes and ears!! He says "Good!" with a big smile!!
He also asked me if I major in piano. He thinks that I can perform the piano solo in the recital. When I heard the news, I was really surprised! I know I am making progress in music, not only the piano skill. Though the way is tough, now I have confidence to go through it. :)
Not until today do I know the actual feeling when I play with music. I have to picture many scenes in my mind and contact with many kinds of arts. It is hard to say.

My clarinet teacher told me today that next week I have to spare time to the other chamber during my class. He said my pieces which are going to be performed on the recital is ok. So he wants me to share my private clarinet class with other people. That means I will decrease my lessons on clarinet. I don't like that but I can not do a thing with it. :(

Claire (one of my companions) canceled the program- four hands on piano. I really want to play it but she is too busy so that she didn't practice this music. I am so disappointed!
