Insanity
In grad school, you are supposed to Specialize. When I went into this whole thing, I thought I wanted to specialize in Mozart and Strauss. These composers’ musics are perfectly suited to my voice – so that is what I pursued. However, in hindsight, I think my specialization was INSANITY.
From day 1, in typical Rebecca Woodmass fashion, I took on far too many projects. However, because of my organizational skills finely honed over time, I managed to convince myself and everyone around me that I, in fact, did not take on too many projects. I did them well – but imagine how amazing my performances would have been if I hadn’t taken on too much?
