What I am is a small town girl, trying to live the new American Dream, well, kind of. Everyone dreams of being a rock star or a pop star, but I dream to be an Opera Star. I started off in Cortland New York playing saxophone. My passion was anything music, but mostly classical saxophone. After graduating from high school I traveled to Rochester where I attended Roberts Wesleyan College. I majored in Instrumental Music Education, Saxophone Performance and Vocal Performance. I worked dilligently to finish both Performance Programs. I completed the entirety of the Music Education Degree sans the student teaching. Needless to say, I have an unending passion for the performance of music and working with people on their passion for it as well.
After graduation I focused on developing my vocal skills more
and adding more performances to my resume. This was a successful and
wise decision. Because I took the extra time to focus on my craft it
has enabled me to apply to: Indiana University, Guildhall School of
Music and Drama (based in London), Univeristy of Southern California,
DePaul University, The Juilliard School and Mannes: The New School of
Music. After sending in pre-screening materials I received an
invitation to do a live audition at all of these schools! I am still
in the middle of all of these auditions. I have already been accepted
to Guildhall in London. Once mid-March rolls around I will start
hearing from other schools.
Most graduate schools offer finiancial assistance or a stipends. I have applied for such assistance, but in a Vocal Performance setting it is as the rumors say, very cut-throat. The average tuition for the schools to which I am applying is $45,000.00.
Why should you help? That's a great question! It is a great
opportunity to help someone reach their goals. Especially someone who
has the drive, wit, determination, work ethic and talent for that they
are doing. This donation is essentially an investment: a "Pay it
Forward" if you will. I have many dreams and aspirations for
myself and know wholeheartedly that I will achieve them. I also know
that there will be people in the following generations just like
myself and I want to be able to extend my hand to help. The only way I
can do this is through your help now!
The money that is donated here will help to send me to Finalist
Rounds of Competitions all over the Nation and into a Graduate School
Funds account. This account will help me secure a position at the
graduate school of my choosing and afford the coaching needed to
become a stand out performer in my class.
I thank you so much for considering a donation! Because of your
help, I will have the opportunity to be the most successful version of
me. I thank you in advance!
