First thing's first...

I could post all the typical things about how I'm currently a student who is studying this or that, but I figured people might find that a bit boring. However, it is Valentine's Day and I probably should insert a typical mushy lovey-dovey hooray! for that. So...hooray for Valentine's Day!

Now that that's over...

I am thrilled to be studying under Dr. Hepworth! She is absolutely amazing, and I am so lucky that she let me into her studio! She'll probably laugh when she sees that I posted this a half hour before my lesson...whoops! I promise I'll get better at this!

I am currently working on 5 songs:
1. "The Green Dog" by Herbert Kingsley
2. "Alma del core" by Antonio Calda
3. "Lullaby" by Cyril Scott
4. "Let My Song Fill Your Heart" by Ernest Charles
and 5. "Pie Jesu" by Gabriel Fauré

So far, we've gone over the languages in the Latin and Italian and over pronunciation. We've added some ornamentation to "Alma" and boy... is it ornamented. The song I'm most excited about singing is "The Green Dog"...simply because I love dogs and the color green. Perfect song para mi.
