    The Sydney Conservatorium Students Thread

    I'm interested in studying music next year and I was wondering if anyone here (or anyone that someone could get me in contact with) is doing a BMusStudies (if it is combined with a BA, even better) that I could ask a few questions to. Actually, maybe you guys would be able to answer them anyway...

    Alice in Wonderland: illogical logic?

    Carroll was both a Mathematician, and a Reverend, fyi. There's also signficant reasons to believe that he was in some ways pedophiliac. Certainly he liked being around naked little girls. However, there's no evidence that he was on any kind of mind altering substances when he wrote Alice.

    Contemporary Compositions..

    I am - but I've focused a lot on extended techniques for my program, so I guess it's coming pretty easily to me. However, I'm having a little .. fun .. with notation. How are you notating it?

    RftG Theorists

    Who are you using? So far I've only really mastered Fukuyama - "The End of History", and Naomi Klein - "No Logo." Any other good ones that you'd recommend? I'd like to pick up another couple.

    Bah! Trotsky!

    Get out either book by Richard Pipes - very useful. Other authors to look for - our teacher gave us a list for a similar topic - would be D. Volkogonov, J. Carmichael, O. Figes - oh yes!, M. Lynch, S. Leonard, R. Segal, I. Thatcher. There's also a book called In the Court of the Red Tsar...

    What grade should I be at?

    I want to agree with what everyone's been saying. I'm mostly doing AMus or LMus pieces, but I'm also doing a piece I did for my sixth grade exam, years ago, which really came off well. I played it in my assessment, and got full marks - woot! - so I think that that's the way to go.

    What stage are you at?

    Well, I kinda had to finish early. I mean, the way I look at it, it isn't great - I'm really not much of a composer. So the longer I have to work on it, get advice, etc, the better. Once we get them recorded, we should share them! Make a BoS HSC Composition CD! Heh, very lame.

    What stage are you at?

    Awesome, yeah, us too. Mine's actually over two minutes - two and a half - so that's not so hot, but easier to cut it down than add more, huh?

    What stage are you at?

    I finished my core composition first draft yesterday - and am so happy. I'm not much of a composition person, really, but the biggest bit is out of the way for me! Where are you all up to?

    School Fees - How much do/did you pay for Education?

    Well, I'm on an academic scholarship, so I'm not really sure... but I think it's something in the vicinity of 18k for year twelve. Something like that. Either way, I wouldn't have been able to go there if I didn't get the scholarship - I had been going to North Sydney. Camps/Excursions/Books...
