Young Artist Programs

The next big step of my operatic career is vastly approaching. I have completed my two degrees, now it's time to participate in Young Artist Programs. I missed 2 years of application seasons already, and I refuse to sit back and let that happen again. I have some important decisions to make, and I am beginning to feel overwhelmed without even sending my first application. There are a lot of things to consider when choosing the right program, i.e., what to sing, fees, recommendations, housing, travel, stipend, roles, longevity and recognition of program, how long participation is required, etc... I have been working hard with a well known Opera Coach, so I feel prepared for what may come my way. This is a big step for me, and I am feeling nervous. I know that my career is most important, but there are some things I am worried about leaving behind such as, my Minister of Music and Assistant Conductor positions. I hate to leave my steady job, but I have to pursue what I really want. I know the Lord has brought me this far, and will continue to lead and guide me until Brandon Brown "Melodious Tones" becomes a household name!

Melodious Tones: The Life and Journey

Hello Everyone! I can't believe I am starting a new blog after about a 5 year hiatus. I don't know how long this one will last, but we will see what happens. Blogging was a good outlet for me during my undergrad years, but I am going to try something different this time. In this blog I am going to discuss the Life and Journey of me becoming a Professional Singer, and probably some other things that I may feel worth blogging about at the time. I feel like I just wrote a thesis statement lol. I need to get the cobwebs off my blogging capability lol. Well that's it for now. I'll be checking back in soon!
