Bric Slade Voice Lesson 9/19/13
Today in my voice lesson we worked on "by the kiln" by Selim Palmgren.We worked on opening up the chest and breathing down into my core. There are a couple of high A's I have trouble on in the song. Most of my problems with singing those notes came from being tight in the upper parts of my body. I need to stretch a lot more before I sing I feel. We sang the song on a lip trill. For some reason I can always get the notes that way but it takes a while to get it singing the words. Also it is going to take a lot of practice thinking pitch and breathing for pitches when I'm trying to hit that high A. Lauri said a lot of it comes from simply getting a stronger core. This song is a tough piece and it will come easier the more I practice it. The reason why professional singers are able to hit high notes like that is because they have conditioned themselves and also have become physically stronger in their core area. I am excited to be able to take vocal pedagogy this semester so I can better understand what I need to be working towards in my practice and in my lessons.
