So I have two intermediate piano classes; classical and commercial piano. They're really challenging on their own let alone together. Well anyways I'm not one of the best players in the department but I try my very best. The only problem is is that they're too hard! I keep forgetting I'm not a pianist. It's not like I'm going to accompany people all the time. Or I'm not going to be performing in an orchestra. I'm a vocalist! It's like why can't I remember that? Here I am busting my butt of for something I won't be really using. Don't get me wrong playing and learning technique has made me a better performer and songwriter. It's just something I need to get over of. I've become a piano student. I've looked through my voice music at least a few times. I've been learning and practicing the same music for almost two weeks straight now and I'm still not done learning it. Bach is way too hard for me. I guess I have to really remember that I'm a singer not a pianist. To top it all off , I'm not even learning the music I want to for voice.
Yes, I know that sounds snobby but hear me out. I've been singing commercial voice for as long as I can remember and after three semesters of vocal training for mix voice, I end getting a new coach to sing classical. I mean I get it, you want me to learn so my voice doesn't die out easily. But honestly, singing commercial is my forte. But as always, I'm up for a challenge and I'm going to sing musical theatre I an operatic style. It's going to be beneficiary somehow I hope.
It takes a lot to keep on going when the world pulls you down. The only thing you can really do is remember to breathe and have fun. Music is t heartless. It always has a beat. Don't let the passion die.
