I have to say that I am pretty happy with myself. I got my Italian memorized and it is making life so much simpler. I got to sing on the Showcase Recital and I feel like it was the best I had ever sung my aria. I am still really really nervous for the jury, but I keep telling myself that we'll be fine...and low and behold Jesse and I both were fine! I feel like there were things that I could have done better, but that's what practice is for.
In my lesson it was very laid back and it was really nice, and much needed. I enjoyed that we went through and picked through things. it is really nice to be to the point where we can really delve into all of the details. It's been a successful week.
I feel like your jury went extremely well---I am sorry for the delay in response to your post. We discussed many of the small items you should correct..now all I need are your revised program notes! Next week at the absolute latest. I can't guarantee that I will have time to review your notes after next Wednesday.
