Keep On a'Goin

"Keep on keepin' on!" This weeks lesson was very productive. Dr Hepworth and I sang through one of my Italiain songs and it's coming along well! I'm glad that my voice is improving more and more. It's such a great feeling to be doing something so fun that I love and learning more about it! I'm still wanting to change over to Psychology or Counseling, but I'm desperate to find a way to do that and music. I can do anything I put my mind to, so I just need to let myself do it!

Brand New Start

"It's Monday, everybody gets a do-over!" This quote  comes from my favorite movie, Footloose, the new one of course! This seems like the perfect way to start off my week. I'm ready to start off fresh with a happy, positive mind! Lessons were awesome this morning! I got to sing two of my four songs for the semester, which I'm so excited about. My sound was awesome this morning! It felt so awesome to just sing and do it right and without even trying! Awesome feeling! :)

Off to a great start!

Today was lesson number two. Dr Hepworth and I discussed some very important things that have been bothering me for some time. I am trying to decide the path of my life. (as a second semester freshman, I see the humor in that) I am someone who is very headstrong and has always known what I want in life. I know what makes me happy and unhappy and can either thrive on it or forget it completely. I have come to realize that this is why I'm lost lately. I can't say exactly why I'm unhappy in my major right now. I absolutely LOVE music and can't see my life without it every day, but I don't know how much I can handle. I have ideas in my mind of what I would like to see myself being the rest of my life, and music isn't it, but as I just stated, I can't see my life without it!  Towards the end of our lesson today, we started singing my Italian piece a little. I'm super excited to start singing it! It seems like a great song.     At the end of the day, music is what gets me through. But how much is too much?

Here we goooo!!

To start off my second semester at Wayne State, I had voice lessons with Dr. Hepworth. We didn't get to sing together today, but we picked out the songs I will be singing this semester. It was a whirlwind to say the least, but I'm so pumped! I miss having private lessons. Lessons with Joni were what got me through high school. It's great having a confidant to share my passion with music with and also to help me through not only my vocal and musical challenges,  but life challenges as well. I can't wait to see what the rest of this semester brings!
