Spring is officially here, and that means it's time to freshen up your closet and get some new skirts! Wearing skirts in the winter can be a real pain. Even when you wear tights it's too cold.

Let's talk about art song. Art songs are songs that are written outside of operas but are sung in a classical way. And here's the the cool thing about art song: because it's outside of opera, it's not part of a story. There's a lot more room for interpretation as the listener and as the singer, and you can relate the music and poetry directly to yourself rather than through a character's perspective.
