Jared Daley Lesson Summary 4/16

For this Lesson Cindy had me warm myself up a little bit again and then she came over and help structure it a little bit more. The things I was doing weren't bad but they were not going to warm me up in the direction i needed to go to improve my faults and be ready to work them. We spent a lot of time doing different breathing techniques to get me to release my abdominals. I feel like I can't breath or like I'm going to run out of air because I tighten them and then I get that panicky i'm going to die if i don't breath feeling. She had me hunch over in the football linebacker position to feel the expansion in my back and then we would gradually come up and it would work for awhile then I'd reengage my abs and get mad at myself. We tried applying some new breathing techniques to some of my spanish pieces. I would a phrase and then check to see if I had stiffened and made sure i was released before continuing onto the next phrase. then we would connect two phrases and see how i did. It was relatively succesful. I felt good about it. I didn't hate singing as much that day.
