The admission test to music school

A last minute application for a composition profile at Kaggeholm school outside Stockholm, found me doing some entrance tests there today! At first I felt generally ten years too old as all of us hopefuls gathered in the small chapel in the morning, everyone seemed to just have finished school and had the music theory fresh in their heads. I didnt! The theory test was challenging but fun, and so was the playing test: I played bits of singing with guitar and piano and my flute did "my funny valentine", leaving me breatheless! I am not sure that the teachers ended up the same. They were mostly writing things down in notes, and were completely oblivious to my attempts to charm them with smiles and eyes. Why do I put myself in these most odd situations? I was like in Pop-idol but whithout the chance of exposure! Now I know what I have been avoiding when not taking the ordinary musician route in life. But the truth is I really want to develop my singing. Not sure the lovely surroundings of Kaggeholm will be the place though.
