Every student looks forward to that final moment where it all ends and for senior Michiko Saiki, music major it finally here.
Saiki placed first at Oklahoma State Competition, she won first place at NSU concerto competition and was a finalist at Delta Symphony Orchestra Competition.
With so many accomplishments in her career, Saiki is still nervous about her upcoming performance.
“I’m really nervous and excited, but nervous,” said Saiki. “Pianists have to memorize all the pieces so you can't use music and the fact that I'm doing a one recital, there's so many pieces I have to remember.”
With so many goals already accomplished Saiki still hopes to make a good impression.
“I always feel like music is sharing ideas and feelings,” said Saiki. “I want to use this opportunity to tell people who I am, what I want or what I want to say.”
With so much time spent getting ready for the recital, Saiki feels confident enough to be sure it is going to be a good performance.
"I spend so much time for this one hour recital,” said Saiki. “I don’t know what’s going to happen but I promise you won't regret it.”
Everybody is welcome to come and be apart of her last recital on Nov. 19 at the Jazz Lab, doors open at 7 p.m.
