First Lesson with Curt!

I thought our first lesson went really good!  We worked on alot with posture, breathing and tongue position this first week.  We did alot of warm up fixed on the tongue and bringing it forward.  We also worked on sirens to be able to get in the head voice and falsetto.  Curt did a really great job with that.  At first he had is tongue far back in the throat but as the lesson progressed and I told him about the tongue and we worked on an i vowell it became more natural.  I also told him singing is like speaking you do not want to make it unatural when you sing.  Next week I hope we can work on some new excercizes and start working on diction and other attributes for good singing.

Week three of voice practicing

Well this week I worked on Si trai ceppi alot more trying to make the runs more legato!  That is the difficult part, but I think if I breathe where I am suppose to breath it becomes more legato.  I have also been working on Le Charme!  Which is such a pretty piece!  Du Bist wie Eine Blume is coming along to I have been working on minor details with ich and ach lauts.  Also making the phrasing more legato without any h's.  I hope everyone else had a good week of practicing!
