Today was the summer recital for my voice lessons and it was another success. There were about 12 performers plus both of the Hale teachers Amanda and Dave. Everyone did great! We have 3 recitals a year and it is neat to see how each girl or boy improves during the intermittent months.
For this recital I sang “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Like always, it wasn’t perfect but it showed improvement. I think it was one of my best performances of the Broadway belty style of singing. I can’t say enough about how thrilling it is to see my voice get better and better. It’s a childhood dream coming true. I hope you enjoy the video. It is a bit tough to hear in points, so turn up your computer!
ps. I was wearing practically the same outfit in May and you can definitely see the weight loss! Wahoo!

I think it is great that you are still taking voice lessons after all these years! I remember going to one of your first concerts and you’ve improved a lot. Way to go!
Thanks. I remember when you came to my concert! You are actually one of the only guests I’ve ever had. I think that was my first recital, and I was so nervous. My teacher had to practically push me on the stage. Over the years the nerves have gotten better.
I love my voice lessons. It gives me a creative outlet and makes my life feel more complete. I find that my job is so overwhelming that I have carve out time for myself or it doesn’t happen.
