So my last post was a little confusing. It wasn't the week of the opera, though the things that happened were correct. What I meant to say for the that lesson was due to the fact that the opera was so close, trying to fix things in my song was way past due. The important thing at that lesson--as well as this one-- is that I enjoy singing and allow the character to take over.
All of the vocalizes were focused on singing easily and simply. My voice was a little fatigued from doing full run-throughs Monday and Tuesday (this lesson was on the Wednesday of that week). So we tried to work on getting me in the right mindset to sing, one that wasn't forced or taxing. So again we started with lip buzzes, then the many variations of "thee", striving to allow the sound not make it.
Brooklynn wasn't at this lesson, which at this point was really hard because, though I love her, Brianna's piano skills aren't the most desirable this far into the semester. We worked on vocalizes for the majority of the lesson. I thought that was helpful since I knew my songs and just wanted help feeling good when I sang them (opera songs that is). Afterward, we sang through my four non-opera songs in an attempt to narrow down which two I should bring to juries.
