Jared Daley lesson summary 4/02

This was my last lesson before my recital preview so I had warmed up previously so we could just run through things. My accompanist was there and we were ready to sing through things. What ended up happening though was we spent nearly the entire lesson on one of my french pieces, I just couldn't do anything right that lesson it felt like. She kept telling me if I kept singing like that I was going to fail my preview. So i got more and more discouraged and don't feel like i got any better at that song. It was right after Tarzan was over I didn't sing at all the weekend after to give my voice a chance to rest. I also hadn't been singing much at all that week before to save my voice every night for Tarzan. So I was unprepared to start singing classically again and it showed and I felt stupid and like I was not going to be ready for my preview. I just couldn't seem to get my voice to do what it was supposed to do, but that's because I had been accessing and entirely different style for the past 2 months and not giving enough time to classical training. So needless to say i was destined to fail. I left the lesson feeling hopeless and having that feeling like i didn't want to sing anymore.
