Changing black to Black

Currently updating my Master’s Thesis.

“...as opposed to closer neighborhood school Solomon M. Coles, which was the high school for black students in Corpus.”

CHANGE:

“as opposed to closer neighborhood school Solomon M. Coles, which was the high school for Black students in Corpus.”

Change matters. My thesis deals with the lack of representation of teachers of color in music education and is the biography of a Mexican-American band teacher who worked during segregation.

Mom: Did you see that Dallas church choir singing at that service Pence was at?

Me: Mom, why would you watch that?

Mom: I know, I know. But it's like Helen Hunt in Twister.

On a serious note, stay home and wear a mask! We don't know if it is safe to sing in large groups. As a choral singer, I miss singing so much but the safety of ourselves and loved ones is more important.

Getting back into Tumblr because Facebook is too much:

@adventuresinsinging - personal blog, mostly music related, singing, etc.

@iloveadabarba - fan blog, love for Raúl Esparza, Star Wars, post fan writings, reblog lots of random things

@beccatravelsto - travel blog, pictures of places I've been, reblog travel photos

@friendofthemouse - Disney blog, mostly Disney Park photos, personal and reblog

No guarantee how often I will be active on any of these but I definitely use the first two. I haven't been active on chat in a long time either. Feel free to reach out! ❤️

I am a member of a Grammy-winning ensemble! I joined the ensemble after the album was recorded (huge bummer, I know!!) but I helped with the promotion of the album (picture 1) and got to enjoy the nomination celebrations (pictures 2 & 3). The actual Grammy arrived recently (picture 4).

I am proud to be a member of this group. We recorded our next album in February 2020 before COVID-19 cancellations. Last I heard the album will be released end of this year. It's a small bright light during difficult times.

You can learn more about the group and recent/past recordings on the website.

Another project I sang in recently.

"Sphinx is proud to share the second installment in honor of Juneteenth, featuring EXIGENCE vocal ensemble under the direction of Eugene Rogers. Please join us for a stirring setting of Lift Every Voice and Sing by visionary composer Joel Thompson. 120 years after its conception, EXIGENCE sings this hymn now referred to as the “Black National Anthem” in honor of George Floyd and all those we lost before their intended time."

This new piece In Paradisun written by Z Randall Stroope is dedicated to those who have lost loved ones during this pandemic.

Being a small part of this project as been very rewarding. I miss singing in a choir but I loved getting to sing this music. Please watch and let this music grant you peace. ❤️

In a crisis, America follows a familiar line of logic: it's okay if the chronically ill die, as long as 'real' people aren't inconvenienced.

No but seriously. Normalize finding love in your 40's. Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in your 30's. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50's. Life doesn't end at 25. Let's stop acting like it does.

What a year of singing! This year I performed with Exigence: A Sphinx Vocal Ensemble, Clear Lake Chamber Ensemble, in Italy with Music Academy International, with the Houston Chamber Choir and put on a Bernstein Recital with friends! Still more singing to do before the end of the year. But I am so grateful for all the opportunities I had in 2018 and I am looking forward to more adventures singing in 2019!!
