Rep is ready to go!

In my last lesson we finished picking out my rep and did a little bit of ipa on my french and italian pieces. My last songs are Kiss Me Not Goodbye from The Mighty Casey which is just beautiful. Into the Night which is also very beautiful, and finally Nacht und Traume which is my FAVORITE!!!! Holy crap it is so unbelievably beautiful. Schubert is probably my favorite composer ever. I listened to a Renee Fleming version and I no joke seriously almost bawled. It's so pretty. I think this semester's rep is going to be a really big challenge for me. I think every song is going to have an obstacle I'm going to have to fight to overcome, but I am really excited. I love every one of my songs, and I can't wait to get started singing in lessons. Barriers this semester.................LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!

First lesson of second semester!

Well, it is finally that time again. I hate break because then all I do is work at stupid, boring Hy-Vee and I hate it because I would so much rather be in school because I love school. Weird, I know. Anyways, yesterday we really just talked a little bit about scholarships, which I am in dire need of, and picked out music. So far we've only got three songs which are Vanilla Ice Cream from She Loves Me, La Conocchia, and Chanson d'amour. Vanilla Ice Cream is pretty much going to be the bomb.com this semester. I am getting the whole thing all planned out in my head and I know that once me and Dr.Hepworth start working on it, it's going to be the greatest song ever. Chanson d'amour is just beautiful. I have a feeling French is going to be super hard, but I'm always up for a challenge. Plus it'll  be totally awesome when I can tell people that I'm singing a song in French. I am just so cultured. Finally, La conocchia is just adorable. So far I'm really excited with what we've picked out and I can't wait to get the semester started! Let's dooooo this.
