A Post That Only Comes Every 4 Years

Feb. 29, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Somewhere, in another universe, I never switched majors in college. I finished my teaching and vocal performance degrees, graduating with honors and taught high school music. I would sing in regional professional choirs. Maybe I’d even teach students private voice lessons.

Instead, I became a communications major.

It’s the Leap Year, the day that only comes once every four years. It’s the first (and only) Leap Year on my blog. So I thought I’d do something you only really ever see about every four years from me.

I’d like to sing for you.

I don’t regret switching majors – I probably would have been miserable trying to juggle either a teaching or performance career or both at the same time. And I know for a fact I don’t have the wherewithal to survive the classical performance industry. But I do wonder what Bizarro Keiko must be up to in her alternate universe, canary-ing away…

So for this Leap Year, allow me to indulge my inner soprano. Nothin’ fancy pants about this video – just me and my webcam, and a whole belly full of song.

Enjoy.

    Beautiful, Keiko. I already knew you were a voice for infertility, but I had no idea you were also such a lovely soprano!

    So fun to join you in your alternate universe on this leap day! I love that you indulged your inner soprano and did this. Seriously woman, is there anything you can’t do?! Your singing voice is as beautiful as so many of your other talents that I already knew about. Thank you for sharing and a very Happy Leap Day/Year to you to! 🙂
