Dearest Diary,
I have always admired the life of the court musicians that travel from county to county playing dance reels and chamber music. It is a life I have aspired to on occasion. A most unbecoming role for a lady is that of a conductor of such orchestras, and yet I have somehow fallen into such a position. But I hold no disdain for the occupation and I find myself eager to study the methods of those gentlemen who fill the same and design my lessons after theirs. I am eager to note that the few children that participate in the ensemble under my tutelage are beginning to excel at a more rapid pace than only a few months previous. And I too have taken up multiple instruments as a hobby.
This evening's entertainment was spent on one of the newer models of what I remember as the sackbut. It has recently come to be known as the trombone. It certainly has no sort of proper, ladylike sound, but I cannot help but adore its unique style. Would that I were to use such an instrument to attract a gentleman, I believe I would be heartily laughed out and therefore remain a spinster for eternity. But in private, I shall continue on the apparatus. It amuses me so.
But no further tonight. Perhaps tomorrow....
