How Dreams Come True….

Below is the MySpace Blog entry I wrote regarding how I came to be a Music Major at my school, this was a summarized version so bare with me.

Ok, get ready because what I'm about to say is really crazy..

On Wednesday of last week I went to my only music class this semester which is called Voice Class, it's supposed to be for people who have no previous vocal training, but since one of the things you learned in the class was sight singing, I signed up for it. I met my teacher Ms. Delvillaggeio who asked which of us had taken voice lessons, and what music artists we liked. I raised my hand, mentioned who I'd studied with and Cecilia Bartoli and Anna Netrebko as two of the artists I liked. She asked me to stay after class and speak to her.

Mind you I wasn't going to mention anything about my previous teachers but I decided to be honest. I took the class because I know I'm behind in my music studies and figured it would be a good place to sort of catch up.

Next thing I know it's after class, I'm in one of the practice rooms with her singing, she turned to me and asked "what are you doing in my class?" I explained to her why, she then asked why I wasn't in the voice program, I replied I wasn't aware they had one. So she talked to the Director of the Music department, they got me a scholarship because financial aid wouldn't cover the additional classes for this term or something. And now I'm officially a Music Major- still considered under degree General Studies A.A.

But can I say how freaking awesome this is!! I can't believe how God worked it all out, I've never been so overwhelmed in my life. Now I'm in Ms. D's Opera Workshop which is a dream come true, I'm finally studying what I love. It was like God was saying "Here's what you've been praying for, along with a pretty red bow to go with it." I mean down to the books I needed. Financial Aid gave me more money to buy the books for my Musicianship class. I am so in awe of all these wonderful blessings I'm running out of ways to thank God here. (It is a great gift and I fully intend to take advantage of it.)

And last but not least, My voice teacher is Ms D! I am totally loving my life right now…
