Hi Molly:
Here's some food for thought:
I think that sometimes when young adults
are studying and working on their voice
they can overdo it. They work hard at
school all year, then do a lot of summer
program work and then it's back to school
(All this and jobs too)
Perhaps this "non-musical" period as you
called it could be your way to relax the voice
a bit and relax yourself. You can still work
on technique with a 50 hr/week job and
immerse yourself in musical past times like
listening to good music, reading and attending
concerts (if you can afford it).
You can also sing with your mind...learning
scores without making a sound. If you are
building a good, solid technique, you won't
lose everything by not attending a summer
program. And yes, it would be wonderful to go
to Italy and get the exposure to the instructors
etc., but you could look around in your local
area for a workshop or master class with someone
you have not had the pleasure of singing for.
Don't let yourself get down about it all...find a
way to keep yourself musically excited and
motivated.
