Just came back from Shing Min's recital!! Well, basically she was our vocal trainer for NYP Broadway Musical and someone that I really look up to! :) I still could not forget the time she actually encouraged me to take up classical singing. And when I heard her today, wow. I might just be able to pursue it and become something. But well, that can only happen in my dreams. Haha.
Hmmm, I thought this recital was rather interesting. I have NEVER heard a classical singer performing with a guitar. I used to think that guitar is like a 2nd grade instrument, not knowing that great musicians can make up a classical piece with this 6 string instrument!! During the solo pieces for the guitar, I kinda like how the notes clashed in a way. And how different melodies can be added together. Though, I needed to open my ears REALLY wide to hear what Mr William was playing (as if i can. haha).
As the recital was ongoing, I thought to myself that I did have a chance to perform in a piano recital as an accompanying singer. It was 2 years back and sang the song of my dreams. As you can see the image up there, it was taken in the dressing room on the performance day! Well, it'll be something that I'll never forget :)
Shing Min was amazing!!! Not only were her high notes flawless, her low notes were perfect(something that i always struggle with)! She is just an awesome singer!! No wonder I like her so much! Hehee. With both the musicians graduated from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I guess I envy them. I wish I could just grow up in a family where my parents would be musically inclined and rich. Then, if I would want to pursue music related stuff, they would just give me the green light!!
Ok, still, I am happy with the achievements that I have, especially this year :) Had a good chat with Jing Wei, and she actually remembered and reminded me of the wonderful things I did this year!!!
Well, even though I may not have the chance to achieve my ultimate ultimate dream, at least I'm doing something like that. Tell me, how can I not love my life? :)
Alright enough yakking. Time to sleep!!
