Decisions, decisions...

I'm beginning to see that classical music just isn't for me. At first I wanted to be well rounded in the type of music that I sing... not just pop. I can do this... it's just that I have to really work at it and get a lot of rehearsal hours each week. If I really try, I can achieve the sound that I want for this particular style. My voice instructor says I'm doing well, it's just that I need to really practice. The thing is, my heart is not in it. I feel like I don't want it because every time I hit the practice rooms, the first things I do is start messing around on the piano, singing a medley of songs. All the songs I ever sing in the bathroom are pop songs. In my car, I do the same.

I've learned that singing a lot of the pop songs can really damage your voice in the long run. It really made me think that if I continue singing how I always do, I can lose my voice later on in life. I won't be able to sing anymore. and who wants that? it makes me sad to think about it. I wouldn't want to teach my future students how to lose their voice. Is there a middle ground? Is there a way to teach a student how to sing pop songs the healthy way? I've learned a lot with my new voice teacher this semester with just having 3 lessons. But to be honest I have no idea where I'm going with this... I can't see myself as a classical vocal teacher. I listen to classical music but not because I really like it and I want to listen to it for fun. And I've met a few vocal performance majors that are really into it.

It brings me to a very important decision.

But I will wait until the end of the year after my vocal jury.

Please pray for me
