I still feel pain on my shoulder and feet.

The fall concert was over. I have been remembering the four-times-a-week hard class and additional private lessons with the professor. A number of times I practiced, then, still sometimes made mistakes though, I did this time the best. I am so tired.

The auditorium was full of audience. At last, we received huge standing ovation. It was so impressive.

We performed 12 songs. It was about one hour. All of the things went as planned.

What is good for me joining in this class was that I haven窶冲 been so familiar with music before taking this class. Not only did I get to know the Latin songs or spirituals or Mozart, but also the experience gave me a new perspective. My idea towards the music was changed. At the first class, the professor taught us that the music should be understood by texts, pitches, and rhythms. All these points correlate each other, and then, one music is constructed. All these make the harmony. All music has a historical background, composer窶冱 idea, and melody. We can know these through performing the music. This is really great. Some of the songs were written long long time ago but we can sing them and understand the idea. Music is kind of common language. It is still hard for me to read the music though, I thought learning music is a great thing, it is a heavy duty.

We are going to have Christmas concert next month. In addition, we will have some concerts next semester too. That makes me excited. I really want to say to thank you for those who came to see the concert and the professor Falk who gave me a chance to join in the concert choir. It will be one of the good and precious memories at Coe.
