Last year I was very pleased with my uni year, and my outside of uni year. In uni, well, I:
- Met great new friends
- Got some excellent grades (2 A+s and nothing lower than B+)
- Improved my singing
Outside of uni, I:
- Got married
- Had a honeymoon
- Got to sing in the chorus of a gorgeous Handel’s Messiah
- Settled down into my new city
Nearly the start of the new uni year. It’s going to be quite different: a much smaller pool of singers, and a new singing teacher being the main changes. Many of the students were 3rd year or honours, and have now graduated. My singing teacher has moved universities, and so I will be learning from a guy. I think this will be good for me, but interesting as I haven’t had a male singing teacher before.
I also have a new choir and we start rehearsals tonight! I love new choirs! Here is a link to my new choir: http://www.jubilate.org.nz/singers/
My new husband is also pretty great. Many props to him for putting up with his wife swanning around with this crazy idea of being a singer.
What else do I hope to do this year? Well, I’d like…
- Some solos in the choir, we’ll see how that goes.
- To get all As in my courses.
- To do some singing competitions.
- To get my Grade 8 singing so I can do ATCL next year.
- Make some more new friends.
- Visit my sister in Melbourne.
- Get back up to Wellington a couple of times and have drinkies and catch ups with my new friends and their babies I haven’t even met yet!
- On second thoughts, I probably shouldn’t go drinking with the babies.
And something to listen to for you. Here is Allegri’s Miserere, a truly beautiful and relaxing piece of music.
