I’m back here after adjusting myself here at a foreign place. Have not really adapted myself very good yet so far, but it is coming in. I might not be posting anything much for the coming weeks I guess. Uni classes are starting next week, and am very grateful to let you know, that I have found a job here.
Will be playing the piano for the WA Conservatoire of Classical Ballet School and the WA Dancing Company. The latter offers much higher wage, but I get a heart attack very often because it is an open class for professional dancers and I need to play like about seventy thousand songs in an hour, which is with tango, waltz or any rhythm suitable for arabesques or plies or tendus in mind.
But I get to play on a grand, which is so cool. I tried for my first today at the Regal Theatre. Not bad for a start I guess, although I probably need more music than what I have now. Any nice sheets please do send over.
Have done my tax file number and medical insurance coverage and bank accounts all ready last week. Can you imagine, for every dollar I earn here, I get taxed for 30% of it?
Anyway, this is what I can update you five readers out there about myself after a week here. Will keep you posted.
Until then, cheers.
