Freshman year of college I had this voice teacher, Brian Nedvin, who was crazy. He made me think things and feel things that were just not necessary. He wanted me to cry while I was singing, he wanted me to laugh while I was singing. Just weird. As crazy as he was, I really got the courage to be expressive while I was singing...but not around him. I don't know why. Maybe it was the fact that he was a guy, or because he tried so hard...I don't know. I just didn't like it.
Last semester I had a voice teacher named Julie who was equally crazy, but in different ways. I didn't feel uncomfortable being expressive when I performed in that class. I felt like she could relate to me better I guess. She had always been rather scatterbrained. Constantly late for our lessons and performances. She always had an excuse...but never a good one. She hasn't even given us our grades for the semester yet. The plan was to study with her for another semester. I got an email from her today saying that she has decided to go to Dallas Theological Seminary next semester...and that we'd all be studying with Brian Nedvin. I got mixed emotions when I read it. I was so happy for my teacher, that she was going to study God's word and was going to prepare for a career teaching it. But how weird is it that I'm going to be studying with Brian again??? What kind of tricks is God playing with my mind!? So I'm nervous and curious and all kinds of weirded out that this is happening. My initial reaction was excited when I read that I'd be studying with him, but then I realized that this means another semester of stress and hard work and digging inside of myself and aaahhh! I don't know if I can take it.
