A day at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland - Merce Font - VLOG#4

[@chrisdeas6750]

Always forget how lovely my city of Glasgow is. I've just recently discovered your playing and I'm totally enthralled, your playing is stunningly beautiful.

[@МилошМилићев]

10:10 I was stunned! What a great arrangement from a great film! Didn't know that guitarists perform Morricone pieces at the conservatoire 😀

[@MerceFont]

yeah! Morricone's music is pure beauty! why shouldn't it be played in a conservatory as well? :D

[@klaasdanieldijkstra6897]

Wat een leuke vlog, leuk om te zien hoe je dag er uit zag ,bedankt ❤️

[@G1napap]

I love your vlogs so much!! Love from Greece!❤

[@MerceFont]

Thank you so much Gina!! Your comments mean a lot t me! :) Feel free to share the video continue growing this musical family!! :) hugs to you!

[@Aadinaadam]

So cool to see. You know what would be great (and motivational) would be to see a little more of your practice sessions.... the right hand technique is mesmerizing :-) And what is the music at 2:14? Sounds swingy, happy and not too clasical? !!! Blasphemy or just my ears?

[@MerceFont]

Dear Aadinaadam! I keep a note of your remark about the practice session :) The music in minute 2:14 it's just a random audio track from KZbin music. Unfortunately, they are getting very strict with copyright so I use the material they provide to avoid any channel strikes...

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about the audition process, I'm applying there to study bmus classical guitar next year and wondered how competitive it is?

[@aidanmays7825]

Hi! I just went through the application process, was accepted, and have had a lot of time to speak with the faculty. In terms of musical ability the standards are very high but they're also looking for musical potential! Practice hard and try to think critically about your technique and musical ideas. In terms of your recording (or live audition depending on circumstances) don't overthink it, act like the best version of yourself, and be confident! Break a leg

[@Ana_crusis]

what is that guitar the other girl is playing?

[@pawdidit]

It looks exciting always working on music and learning new ideas! I'm sure it's crazy all the walking and schedule but the knowledge and experience you walk away with looks to be amazing. What size is your guitar?

[@MerceFont]

that's so true, it was an exhausting day but those are just the best, when you can make so much out of 24h! My guitar is smaller than normal (good eye you've got!). It's 60cm lenth (from bridge to nut (standard is 64-65cm so.... yeah quite a difference :P)

[@Laztaur]

is accommodations provided by rcs to intentional students? please help?

[@MerceFont]

I have no idea, I wasn't a student, I went there to perform. I'd recommend getting in touch with the RCS and ask how the situation is now with it :) Good luck with your studies!

[@ipekdag4618]

I'm a classical guitar student and I'll go to university in a couple years, I want to go to royal conservatory of Scotland! How is the school, classes there? Do you have any suggestions for me before university?

[@MerceFont]

hi ipek! Well, the conservatory looks amazing for what I saw, but I was there just to perform so I can't really give you insights on student life there...I'm sure you can find via facebook many ex students from there to whom to ask ;)

[@ipekdag4618]

@@MerceFont thank you! I'll contact with the ex students via Facebook, thanks for the suggestion! :D

[@garydrainville3986]

Outstanding vlog!

[@MerceFont]

Thank you Gary! send you best wishes!! :)

[@robertone6602]

Is the conservatoire free taxes as others Glasgow universities?

[@umitsuhudidonmezdemir3798]

I wish If I were you in Scotland

[@Aadinaadam]

It sounds like Gypsy jazz to me. Joscho/Bireli style...
