My Life is Music: Hallo!

So it has been a week since I have updated this thing. A lot of things have happened. Some are exciting and some are not that much hahaha. The first week of classes ended really really well. It was a hard week but I had a lot of fun with it too. I didn't do much because I wanted to see if I could handle school as a whole. I realized that I can. I haven't gone out much in the past week. Last week I went to another Gelato place and this place is even better then the first Gelato place that I went to. I got something called Nutella Spaghetti. It is Vanilla Gelato put through a press to make it look like spaghetti. Then they put nutella, hazelnuts, and a cookie on it. It was AMAZING!!!!!! Yumm..... After that I went to the Naschmarkt with a friend and we bought some great cheap food. The Naschmarkt is really big on dried foods like fruit. I bought some dried apple and dried strawberries. It tastes like sweet candy. Last night I went to the Rathaus. The Rathaus is the City Hall of Vienna. During the Winter time they have a really cool Ice Staking rink in front of the Rathaus. So last night I went Ice Staking and I had a lot of fun. For some reason I didn't fall and I did it alone with out holding anyone's hand haha. After Ice Staking we got some hot chocolate and they give you these cool mugs for 2 euro. You can return the mugs to get the money back but the mug is really cool so I kept it. I have been working hard on my music. I have had coaching all week. Coaching and Voice Lessons are different. A Voice Lesson is when I have my voice teacher and I work on my technique. A coaching is completely different. A coaching is when you have someone help you with pronunciation, meaning of the song, and expression of the song. I had two coaching on Tuesday. One with my Workshop voice professor. We worked on some Hugo Wolf. Then I had another coaching but I had it with the Brass coach. I'm singing a song called Die Seejungfern. It means The Mermaid. I am singing with a harp and a horn. So the brass coach came in and he also helped me become more musical with piece. Then yesterday I had ANOTHER coaching with my accompanist. All I have to say is I'm in love. She is one of the musical people I have ever met and she is truly amazing. She knows everything. Her name is Greta. She thinks I'm a tenor and she kept on comparing my voice to the sun and how it has so much warmth. My confidence and self-esteem always goes up so much whenever I hear AMAZING musicians say that they think I have great potential and that I'm good. I told her that I frustrated because I'm in between a Baritone and Tenor switch. She thinks I will be a tenor and then she started suggesting songs that I should sing. She wants me to sing this beautiful Brahms piece and hopefully I will work on it. It depends on what my teacher wants me to do. I don't have a coach at Butler and I realized that I'm missing out on a lot. Everything here is truly great. The weather is getting so much nicer over here. Since Sunday we have been in the 50s and it has been sunny all day. When it gets hotter it the transportation is not that great because the trams and trains smell horrible. Some people have major hygiene problems but its fine. Its their culture. Today it is suppose to rain. Womp Womp. But life here is great. Today I'm going to the Collection of Antique Musical Instruments. I'm really excited about that. Tomorrow I will be going to the Opera to see Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci. I'm really excited about that. I also found out that my mom will most likely be coming to Vienna during my Spring Break. I'm really excited to finally show someone around the city that I have been living in. I will leave you all with some pictures.

Love,
