My boyfriend of two years accompanied me for my college auditions last year.
I have been playing clarinet for eight years, but that is nothing compared
to his playing piano for 14-15. He was a child protegy in every sense of the
word, and I felt so inadequate- the schools were almost more interested in
him than me. It's not always wonderful having a pianist player close to you.
I'm not jealous or anything- I'm very proud of him, but it isn't always the
greatest thing. Just my opinion.... Heather
