(no subject)
You know what? I realize that I'm a pretentious little bitch most of the time, but there really is nothing wrong with taking pride in what I do, right? And not that I don't recognize my own faults or anything. I realize that there's more for me to learn, so much more that I can't even begin to say. But that's why I'm learning. That's why I take such an active interest in continuing to better myself. I know it's all I ever talk about. I know that I sit alone and study sheet music and scores and hum pitches to myself. But it's my life. I love music, I love what I do, and I hope that I get to do it.
And damn it, I'm good enough to be a real musician and not get hurt or backstabbed. Mr. Williams told me once that I was good enough for the Juilliard, if I got some fine-tuning on diction and sight-reading, but I'd never make it unless I grew some thicker skin.
My skin is thick.
I'm sending in an application for Davidson Fellows, I've decided. I'll do Domine Deus, Psyche, El majo discreto, and one of three Italian pieces (I'm having trouble deciding between Nina, Caro Mio Ben, or O Mio Babbino Caro). I'm probably going to do Nina and Psyche for Interlochen, if I decide to apply. If not Interlochen, I can do the summer opera intensive at Opera Memphis. Oh, and the WTVMEA scholarship. Probably Domine Deus for that - short, sweet, and to the point, age appropriate while not boring like all the 'yellow book classics' they'll be hearing.
