Since I’m graduating, I’m planning to have a senior recital. Which sounds easy until you have to plan it. I wish I could share my knowledge and experience from what I’ve learned, but I’m still stuck. I need to choose a few songs to sing, but I can’t decide on which ones.
I made that part a little easier on myself by planning to do my senior recital with my cousin. So if we keep the program to about 45 minutes, I’ll only have to choose 3 songs. Well that was the idea. The plan was for both of us to choose 3 of our own songs and sing a duet. Which sounds great in theory. I have less songs to choose and I think duets are fun to sing and rehearse. Plus our grandma is accompanying us.
But I cant even decide on 3 songs! I know I want to do the German piece I sang for my All State Choir audition, but that’s all I decided on. Thats a 33%, so I’m currently failing. I’ll probably do a funny song because I’d enjoy that the most. The only funny song I’ve learned is, “Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud.” Or at least I think thats what it’s called. Its a hippopotamus love song. Enough said.
But I’m really struggling on choosing the last piece. The 2 genres I’m choosing from are musical theatre and folk song. Both of which I enjoy. I prefer singing musical theatre, but I prefer how I sound on folk songs. So I’m lost. I guess I’ll debate with myself a little longer.
