Hey! How's it going?
Bonjour! It's great -homework. ;P How are you doing ?
I'm good! Also working on homework. Gotta love it!
You know actually sometimes I ind of do. The stuff we are learning in college is so cool! I'm doing stuff for Chemistry 105 and, while it's super confusing, it's super interesting too.
That's cool! I agree though. This semester all of my classes are really fascinating. It makes it easier to put work into them when it's something you enjoy. So are you a chemistry major?
That's true! A Lot of mine are just generals though, which puts a bit of a damper on them haha. No, I'm a computer science minor and undeclared major. I'm hoping to go into some kind of life science! What about you?
Sweet! I'm not in a program right now either, but I'm hoping to get into Commercial Music! Or possibly Media Arts. I haven't decided yet...
Oh those sound cool! What do they entail? Do you play any instruments?
I play a little bit of guitar and piano, but in commercial music you focus on the production, writing, and recording of the music! And in Media Arts you focus on film and TV. I really enjoy both, so we'll have to see where I end up.
Those both sound so cool! Even though my future is math and science based I absolutely love music. I've played piano for 12 years, bass for 8, and guitar/ukulele for a while. Haven't yet mastered the kazoo. ;) In Media Arts would you be writing/editing shows and stuff?
Haha that's awesome! Someone should start a kazoo band. I'd be very impressed.
It's never too late to learn,  you could do it!
But yeah, in the Media Arts program there are lots of different areas of emphasis. So you can go into editing, directing, producing, lighting and sound, costumes and makeup The list goes on and on. I'm mostly interested in directing or writing though!
Did you every do that sort of thing in high school or college theatre? Do you enjoy writing in general?
I love writing. I actually considered majoring in Creative Writing or English for a while, because I love storytelling so much. So I decided that music or film would be a way for me to combine my love of music and storytelling into one! I did some theater and songwriting in highschool, and I did a little bit with film, but not a lot. What about you? What were you involved in at your high school?
Music and film are two of the most powerful ways to tell a story, I know you'll really enjoy it. :) I did a few things. I was in orchestra, (including for the school musicals) debate, track and field for a couple years... and piano lessons outside of school. I took and art class and choir as well.
Ooo live orchestras for the musicals?? That sounds incredible! But hey-choir is the best! What part did you sing?
Yeah, the arts program at our school was really good! Baritone(/ bass if it seemed more fun and I didn't get caught haha!) Did you do choir ?
Yeah I did choir all through Jr. high and High School and I loved it. I'm 100% Alto. Always have been. Always will be. In fact, I'm in University Chorale right now and yesterday my conductor assigned me with 5 other girls to be "3rd Altos" in one of our songs which basically means we're singin g Tenor!
The alto's sometimes have the prettiest parts, I don't blame you! Wow, I didn't even know that part existed!
I don't think it's supposed to haha. We are just lacking numbers in the Tenor section so we're the backup.
Was it the audition choir?
No. It's just the one anyone can sign up for. So it tends to have a lot more girls than guys
That makes sense. It sounds really fun though, do you guys have any concerts or anything?
A few, yeah. We have a concert in December, which means we're already practicing Christmas music! And then we get to sing at a devotional later in the semester as well.
It's never too early for Christmas music <em>I</em> think.
I totally agree. They have such an uplifting message and I just love it! We're actually singing my favorite Christmas song, O Holy Night. Do you have a favorite?
Yes, I have several! My favorite one we did in choir was a song called "While Sheppards watched their flocks by night" (not the hymn) by Courtney. You should look it up on youtube!
Ooo I definitely will. I'm going to go make some dinner now, but it was nice talking with you!
Okay, I need to do that soon too. Nice talking to you too!
