Mezzo’sMama - Thanks! That’s very sound advice!! I appreciate your perspective.
I discovered opera after I’d become pretty comfortable with other styles - pop, jazz, country, whatever… and classical singing just seemed like the natural thing to do next! Oh, to have such control of breath, and voice, to sing the most beautiful, romantic melodies in the world…! I fell in love with art!

It also happened that I’m still working on my undergrad, so I thought, well, why not choose this as my major? So yes… if by “top” VP program, that means Juilliard, Eastman, etc., I wholeheartedly agree. I will see what I can pull together in two years, and go for whatever door opens to me then :)
