I played for some wonderful people today. Good singers. Good auditions.
I did self-fluster myself twice during the course of the session. The first time was when I realized that the piece of music that was placed in front of me happened to be written by someone sitting "behind the table". I kept deciding between playing every single note and rhythm on the page, or playing what I knew I could play and what would most support the singer. Thankfully, not a trainwreck, but not "comfy".
The second self-flustering came about after I had said, "Yes, I can read it up a step." -Before I had looked at the music, or even asked what she was singing. It turned out to be a Maltby & Shire song. Spoo! Again, no trainwreck, just not "comfy".
