Vocalizes:
-descending lip trills (obviously): I was lacking energy in my lower rib cage, this seemed to be the focus for the remainder of the warm-up. (I think listening back to it that I wasn't suspending well enough)
-"thee" 5-4-3-2-1
-"A B C D-thee" 5-4-3-2-1
-"Thee" Full octave descent. Later we added "A B C D". Later she asked for more space in between the molars. (We did this exercise for a while)
-"Thee" 8-5-3-1 with speaking in between each scale.
-"Lee lay lah loh, lee lay lah loh, lah" 5-3-4-2-3-1-2-7-1
This was the week of the opera, so a lot of focus was placed on helping me be able to independantly identify problem areas and what I need to fix/change to correct them. Most of this semester, Brianna often would structure the lesson so that she wouldn't have to always tell me what was wrong, but rather have me identify it. Basically from this lesson on, she would always have me pick out the problem without telling me. We talked about how rehearsals went on Saturday. I had totally botched both of my big songs in the first act and yet I had a lot of good feed back from Dallas and Cindy. I talked about how I could tell I was tight, but I wasn't sure what it was or how to release it, thus the lesson we had this day where I was always in charge of finding the problem.
