After an elegant lunch at the lavish Zestos on Ponce with my cousins, Lucy and I went back to the church for a brief vocal lesson. She really wants me to join the choir, especially after St. Mark received an invitation to appear at the Georgia Methodist Convention in Athens next month. That's a big to-do because the Methodist church has recently taken strides to include LGBT people in their communities.
So we spent a little time going over simple la-la-la-la-laaaaa progressions. Lucy(who is a professional voice instructor) stopped after a while and told me how surprised she was, that I could almost sing second soprano (and would if I began singing regularly). She said for now I would need to start in the alto section.. which tickles me pink. Before today she hadn't heard me sing any and assumed I'd sing tenor like the only other trans woman she knew did. So being in the alto section makes a big difference in joining the choir.. I didn't want to sing with them if I had to sing tenor. so yay me.
