This past week we touched on all my songs in my lesson with Dr. Hepworth. I was really comforting to do that because now I don't feel so much pressure to learn them because it turns out I knew them better than I thought, except for the German piece.

So far, I am loving the French piece "Mandoline"!! It is so pretty. I am also pretty wiped vocally from six to eight hour musical rehearsals one after another so I won't be doing any extra practicing this week. However, after this weekend I will fill the extra hours with lots of practicing!!!

This week I have been working show songs as well as the French song: Mandoline. I really enjoy this song, especially because it is so pretty. Some of the vowel sounds are still giving me trouble but they can be worked out, no sweat. What I am sweating about though is the musical. When we are a week away from opening night, I feel like we should be farther along, though things are getting better from night to night. I need to stay focused on MY things and the things I can fix and not get too involved in trying to fix a problem musically that is out of my jurisdiction. That is a very stressful situation for me because I want to fix everything but I just can't.

Thanks for being so understanding. See you on Saturday, Dr. Hepworth!! 10:00am!

Well here comes spring break. over spring break i will be working on finishing up voi che sapete, keep going on the French and beginning on the German piece. I am not too worried about the German other than all the "flem" sounding vowels and consonants because it is not too long but we will see. This past week I have been super busy with midterms, intercollegiate band and such so I haven't had much time to practice, let alone the drive to work on new things but this week will definately be different.
