I've been singing with the Houston Symphony Chorus since the '88-'89 season, so I've done most of the big standards and a lot of the not-so-standards. See my list of works performed for more detail. I've also taken voice lessons for most of that time and done a reasonable amount of solo work, including a bit of semi-pro for the Christian Scientists. In recent years I have done less in the solo area and more paid choral work. Another pretty regular musical activity for a couple years now is a small group of singers (usually five of us -- some pictures here) that meet at my house to do ensemble singing, which is essentially vocal chamber music (sort of like a string quintet except with singers. I've also attended Western Wind ensemble singing workshops for a number of years, a venue that I thoroughly recommend.
In high school I trained fairly seriously as a pianist, but I don't do that any more. My piano skills have largely atrophied.
