One of the phenomenal things about the accompanying program here is the fact that they make you experience accompanying and what you are accompanying. You have to learn both sides of the piano to be well rounded. Therefore I have to take acting and dance. Also, definitely scariest, was voice lessons. I started day one telling my voice teacher I don't sing and I have a range of two notes. Week one homework was saying hi at different pitches. I needed to understand that singing really is just sustained talking on pitch. Once I realized this, she let me sing and miraculously this big voice came out. One day, we were practicing my song and she screamed out stopping me, where did that come from. Do it again and don't change anything. Apparently, I was naturally lowering my larynx creating more space for air and sound. I don't know much about singing but in one half of a semester I have learned so much. I've come so far but I've got so far to go. Now though, my teacher is so proud because she sees so much progress and a lot of potential. I can't wait to keep learning because now I realize I have a song in my heart and in addition to playing it I may be able to sing it to. Goodnight.
