Week 6 of practicing

This week I worked on alot!  I worked on my diction in my french piece and my legato phrasing with no h's that would interupt the vocal folds in Si trai ceppi.  I also went over I wonder as I wander.  In order to not create h's while I am singing I open up my mouth so the soft plalet does not close and it is easier for me to make the phrasing more legato and connective.  It was a good week of practicing, I just need to keep on reinforcing those habits of mine with legato phrasing and no clipping off words.  Hope everyone else had a good week of practicing as well!

Week Five of practicing

This week was a good week!  NATS  I thought went well!  I am still working on my legato phrasing with all my pieces and also working on attaching dipthongs to the word followed like and-the.  Over break I am going to work on Si Trai Ceppi, my french piece and my other engilsh pieces and do some hard work on them.  Over all things are going well!  I am excited though to see my family this weekend and go home for a little bit!  Hope everyone else is doing good!

Week Four of Practicing

This week was a good week of practicing!  I am really nit picking all my songs for NATS with being legato, no h's, and dipthongs at the end of the word cut offs.  It is coming along good!  I am also working on Si Trai Ceppi too and applying these same things to that as well because I feel like I am putting h's with the runs and I am sometimes putting the dipthongs in the wrong place as well.  Overall I think I am doing a really good job and I can not wait for NATS this week coming up!  Hope everyone else had a good week of practicing and we will see everyone tomorrow!  I can not believe it is already October!

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!

Week two of Voice practicing

This week I have been working on the Today Today excercise and have also been working on my vowell's in Du Bist Wie Eine Blume.  I have Du Bist Wie Eine Blume memorized.  I have been working on Si trai ceppi.  The run is coming easier with pracice.  It is pretty repetitive!  Hope everyone else has had a good week of practicing!  Talk to everyone soon!

Week one of voice practice

First week I have been working on lip trills and relaxing my cheeks a little more because they are a little tense in practice.  I have also been working on Si Trai Ceppi and Du Bist Wie Eine Blume.  I have been working on the notes in Si Trai Ceppi and I have been working on Memorizing Du Bist Wie Eine Blume.  Hope everyone else has had a good week of prcticing!  Too doo loo for now!
