I have had a great Halloween thus far. I did decide to go to my voice lesson in costume (anyone who remembers my costume from last year… recycled but still worth it). It did give me an idea for a quick costume change for “Songs I Have Learned.” I felt like Sky Masterson or “Good Ol’ Reliable” Nathan Detroit from the musical which an area high school will be performing in the spring.
I had a guest sitting in on the lesson this morning. Seems that K has a female intern working with her who just completed her senior year at Appalachian State and is now at Bluffton University continuing on her Music Therapy degree… my coach had to visit the loo so I became acquainted with my audience of one. I only made it through 3 of my songs but after today I feel almost PLEASED with the most difficult piece and EVEN MORE confident with another. “The phrasing and coloring at the end were perfect drawing the audience right in.” I felt like I was on American Idol or Broadway Star (if such a thing existed). Definitely one of my top three out of the 12 and to receive such praise with 4 months to go.
However, the costume lent itself perfectly to another song that I chose not to focus on. Perhaps it was a sign that I should use some more “Friends” to fill a little space. We will see.
