Luke Shepherd Lesson Summary 12/9/2013

It was great to have another lesson with Cindy before juries! I was still feeling really sick so we began with some relaxing warm-ups and focused on vocalizes that got the voice moving lightly rather than sustained notes. We focused particularly on breathing in this lesson, and Cindy had me sing 2 of my pieces while bending my knees in a squatting position, leaning forward, and focusing on low breaths and release. It was SO easy to sing like that and I felt like I tapped into a reservoir of power that I didn't know I had. It was amazing. I look forward to continuing to apply all this to the rest of my repertoire.
