reflecting on various topics
I was going through files from my college laptop and I found this video from 2010. It was in my choir class at Pepperdine with Milton Pullen, and us music education majors were taking turns practicing conducting our own choir. (The piece is “Amor de mi Alma,” by Z. Randall Stroope). It’s really moving to …
I stayed up late tonight recording because I needed there to be something positive. This is How Can I Keep From Singing, arranged by Mark Patterson (link here to sheet music), Catharine’s Midnight and Starting To Get Sick Key/Version. My intonation isn’t always right, but c’est la vie. Also the ending is actually supposed to …
It’s been kind of rough lately. Yesterday I went to pick up the kids and there were latex balloons in the office. I was wearing a respirator and my car was closed, but I still reacted (I had parked right outside the open door). I went home, showered, and changed my clothes. Thankfully it was …

I’ve posted random piano clips in a few places; thought I’d centralize them. I’m singing in some of them. They’re all very casual, with lots of mistakes. (will add posts as I find them) August 29, 2022 These ones were originally shared semi-privately on Facebook, as sort of a very feeble effort on my part …
I thought I’d make a post that has my karaoke videos on it, as sort of a centering place. A few years ago, some friends and I started sharing karaoke videos on Twitter with the hashtag #karaokewithcatharine or #weekendkaraokechallenge. It was really fun. I was so happy to see what everyone shared. Some of my …
this happened. 😂 i apologize in advance no copyright infringement intended Alvin and the Chipmunks- The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late). (I think this was the karaoke track.) also we have gnomes. ♥️
uh oh. so. so. ok so there is this program that I discovered and I’m sure all of you have already discovered it, I’m sure you all already know about it, but just in case you don’t there is a program called Audacity and it is free and it is a little bit technically.. interesting BUT …
