Week 3
SO. Less than a week until my jury. How is this happening so fast?! I fee like I'm less prepared for this recital jury than I was for my Junior one. Though my jury for my Junior recital was about a month later than this one. I'm trying not to let the stress from everything get to me but it's been tricky. Unrelated stress is causing the most havoc. Still, I know that when the time comes I will be ready. 4 more songs left to do for program notes which I view as a good step in the right direction. Practicing this week was productive. I worked mostly on the new songs and all the little spots that are tripping me up. On a good note, my eye has pretty much stopped twitching! It had been going for about 3 days. The potassium trick worked! Now I've jinxed it...

Glad to hear you are "sans" twitch. Lady, you are golden. Your prima senior recital will be even better than the junior recital because of two things---you are singing more technically accurate now than ever before, and you are singing with such a greater connection to the text now than you have ever before. Hold on to the positive aspects of this journey, rather than stressing over the not-so-great happenings. You memorize lightening fast, and even if the jury is not perfect, don't sweat it! Keep a positive outlook, keep listening to your recordings, and keep singing with that beautiful resonance and space you have! Let me know if I can help in any way, Katie.
