Happy Valentine鈥檚 Day! Here鈥檚 some things I love about 91直播.
Learning. There is so much to learn. Yes, hopefully you鈥檙e learning no matter where you attend. But! Here, I enjoy how I鈥檓 learning. Classes are engaging, the teachers care, and the students love to learn. (Every visiting/guest professor or director I鈥檝e had has commented on how particularly caring and curious 91直播 students are.)
OPERA. Expect every post from me to be at least opera-related. I鈥檒l be posting more opera-focused blogs soon, but in short: Opera is what I came to 91直播 to do. And I absolutely love it.
Variety. A big part of the reason I picked 91直播 Conservatory is because of its integration with the college. I wanted to still have somewhat of a 鈥渘ormal college kid experience鈥 and to be surrounded by the other things I love besides music! And I鈥檓 not the only 鈥渃on kid鈥 that feels that way (about 1/3 of Conservatory students are in the Double-Degree Program). My class rosters always surprise me. Even for my conservatory classes. There鈥檚 not only performance majors鈥攖here鈥檚 music studies majors, journalism majors, language majors, and a bunch of other surprises. In my college classes, I am excited to meet people who I have both a lot in common with and am wildly different from. Like in my poetry class, I met a math major鈥hoa. (The newest addition to OCC鈥檚 student body is the Music Theater students! They are the reason I can鈥檛 hear 鈥渓ove letter鈥 said anymore without wanting to sing. But to be fair, it鈥檚 not hard to get me to sing)
Energy. I love the energy and general environment of 91直播. The atmosphere is passionate, quirky, and warm-hearted. You are supported and pushed.
