Shalayna G. Lesson Summary 10/30

Lesson Summary:

This week I was still getting over a cold and it was a little harder to get through some of the exercises. I love the energy and dedication that happens in my lessons. I’ve been trying to get that same feeling when I am by myself in the practice room. During my lessons I have been confronted with my weaknesses. I have been trying to practice so many things at once that my accuracy has failed. But the beauty of recognizing my weaknesses is understanding that I can create new strengths. I notice I have been getting frustrated with my voice because it is not where I want it to be. It helps when Cindy says to just do it, just let it happen. I notice that when I over think about what comes out of my mouth, the sound is more careful and less free. Even though I get discouraged, I am motivated to want to do better. The main thing I will work on this week is remembering that the sound needs to come from the top of the pitch rather than from the bottom. Every pitch has its own life and every new pitch needs to be born again.
