Now for my music...

My old teacher, who I've raved about on this blog a couple times, retired. =( She's working with my accompaniment class though, so I'll still see her at least once a month. So now I have a new teacher, and I'm starting up voice! I really like my new teacher. Depending whether or not she comes up on this blog often, I think I'll refer to her as Miss Kat. She's pretty different from my old teacher, though. My old teacher was dynamic and really spunky (and short) and this one is more of a calm, gentle person. She's really awesome.

But anyway, because I'm doing piano and voice, I'll be really pressed for time, so if you hardly see much of me anymore, it's because I'm busy. =)
