Today I had a revelation during my lesson. Brianna has been telling me to think of the space between my molars, which I had been faithfully working on the past two weeks in my practicing and speaking of the text. However, it wasn't until today during my lesson that I also realized what she had been trying to tell me. She was trying to find that disconnect of my tongue and jaw. It made perfect sense, once I asked her if that's what she wanted. I just hadn't understood what she wanted me to do. Now that I understand what she meant, I am going to add that task to my practicing.
My warm-ups were again quite successful and I felt like they were very released in sound in breath. Brianna had me sing some more ascending exercises. They were alright, but not as successful as my descending exercises, because I didn't properly prepare for the top note. I am going to work on these in my practice as well.
I sang Die Bekehrte in my lesson memorized, so that was a confidence boost to see my hard work actually pay off. Hooray!
