I work at the library. I work at an animal shelter.
I play violin in the symphony. I started playing at the age of 4. I have never played in a violin concert. I am excited about the idea of playing violin in a concert. I am 32 years old. I love dogs. I'm thinking about getting a bull terrier.
I spoke to the people putting on animal shelter benefit concert about you playing and they have a spot for you! That sounds good. I love to give back to the community.  When is the benefit? I want to make sure I block out the time on my calendar.  It's next month. Hopefully you can make it. It would be great to hear you in the flesh. I love classical instruments and am amazed at how museu Ian's can just play and make great music live! OK. Let me know the exact date and time once as soon as you can.  He is an amazing violinist! I play in the symphony, but that is not anything like doing a full violin concert-where the violins are featured.  Great. I'll confirm the date and time. Are you excited about the upcoming concert? Yes!  I always love a chance to play with the symphony. It's always been my dream. For it to finally happen is surreal.  I'd be so nervous to play for so many people. I don;t mean to make you nervous, I just have stage fright so for me that is just amazing that you would be able to do that! I've played a lot of different types of concerts through collage and such.  It's not like I've never been on stage before.  BUT, you are right this is a much bigger deal!  Thisis the dream come true! Well break a leg is all I can say. I had a couple of bad experiences giving presentations in a previous job and I said never again. Public speaking is not something I need to worry about now thankfully. lol.  I think a presentation when you are up there by yourself with everyone looking just at you is much scarier.  I'll be lost in the crowd with all the other musicians.  No one will even notice me.  Unless I hit a bad note that is. part o Yes I see what you mean. Being part of an orchestra is different. I had such a bad time. I couldn't speak and got so nervous, even though I practiced and practiced it isn't went wrong. I think making eye contact with a beautiful woman in the audience didn't help. Honestly it was a terrible experience. I think I may need to speak to someone about it! I think its like anything else.  You just need to practice.  Any time I had to make a presentation in school. I just made sue I had my first sentence  memorized.  Once I got past the first sentence I was good.
