So, non-existent blog readers, I have recently made a rather large decision regarding my future. I decided to take up voice lessons again, instead of pursuing my aspirations to become a percussionist. I still do love playing percussion, and I plan on continuing doing so through college and beyond, but my main focus will be within the vocal arts. Of course, this means starting practically from scratch, but I believe I may have better chances of getting into a good college for voice than for percussion. Voice studios look for talent more than skill, and percussion studios look for skill alongside talent. Of course, that's not to say that you can be a complete novice to get into a vocal program, but I've been singing for quite a while now, and also, as I mentioned, I have started voice lessons again. I'm crossing my fingers. I'm thinking of turning this blog around kind of, because I am going through Lent facebook-free, so I need an outlet. Somewhere that I can vent or just talk to no one at all. It's comforting for some reason, and Twitter just doesn't cut it. Here, no one knows me so I feel a bit more comfortable talking about stuff. So expect a little bit more personal details (not in the biblical sense though). Anyways, here is the obligatory video. Did I mention that I'm hopefully going to be taking up French Horn in band? Percussion has become largely unrewarding, and I've always wanted to learn horn, so here's a chance to challenge myself with something will prove fruitful and enjoyable (I hope). There is one caveat, though, I have to learn from my Band Director's Assistant, who I am not a fan of, to be quite frank. Anyways, here is the video of Sigfried's Horn Call. The actual music begins a bit of the ways in. Enjoy!
