Hamburg Juli 08
Meanwhile, Hamburg feels more like my home.
My every day life includes 3 jobs- I still work in the office in my school but only half time. Thats why I apllied in a different school to work as a vocal teacher. I now have my first 2 students- 12 and 15. I am glad that I can give my knowledge to others- its like a ventile:)
I also work about once a week in a very fancy hotel- its called Kempinsky and I usually take the 7 o' clock shift- i know crazy- waking up at 5 on a saturday. But this way I can go to my dance class- I still try to learn Hip Hop dance to improve my stage appearrance and for fun.
School is getting much better- the difficulties I had in the beginning are getting less- but still the school never stops to push you out of the comfort zone, by singing in front of a bunch of music students who all realized one flat note.
I am very happy about my school band- we are are all in all 5 people. I make my first experiences in not only writing songs but putting them in a band context togehter. I am relieved to have a band trainer and a guy who helps me to put to my lyrics to some chords- working out a melody.
Weekly I take now drum lessons from a drum student- it makes such a difference in understanding music in its context.
In my church I am so happy that we have a band of 6- its getting more there that we play live every week- before we had playback worship- because there where no instrumentalists...Since we have enought singers- well two- I play piano, which is exciting for me since I never did it in that context.
All in all- live goes by fast and I try to take every opportunity to grow in my giftings to be prepared- practicing a lot, going to all kinds of workshops and using gig opportunities.
Considerations are to go to England after these 2 year program which ends in September 09. There is an university in Plymouth where I could make my Bachelor- see what happens.
