fast fingered Elle

Elle said she was embarrassed when her symphonic wind instructor introduced her to the group yesterday. He started by saying that he asks his students to play the 12 major scales in at least 2 minutes to pass into the group. Under 1 minute and 30, and you get an 'A'. He mentioned to the group that Elle got all 12 scales correct in 32 seconds. After the session, seniors approached her and said they were impressed. Good for Elle. It's hard being a freshman musician. You always have to fight your way through the ranks...such competition.
