My lesson today wasn't super great. There's one in every semester!
First of all I was late because I didn't know we were doing Friday lessons on Monday. Then I wasn't prepared (same reason). Then my voice was acting funny. I think was a combination of last weeks stress and pms. Is that inappropriate information for the blog? Just tell me if I've gone to far.
So it was an emotional lesson. Even so! I came away with a new vocalizing thingy. You sing two octave arpeggios ascending and then come down on 4 2 7 5 4 2 1, all this on an [i] that stretches like taffy. It's really cool because if you don't try to sing it and let it be ugly you can get it really high! I sang a... D6? No no, D flat. But I mean that's pretty cool! I also got some great tips for Die Forelle. If I sing it on just vowels I can check and make sure I'm free. If not, I can use free-er vowels like [a] and [o] and [i]. In the lesson I used [a] below B4 and [o] above and it really helped me get things nice and light and resonant. Not too shabby!
