Week 8

Getting closer to show time and I am really getting excited!  Really fine tuning on all songs right now!  I have been practicing with a big mouth and correct vowel shape with my forward tongue and keeping the buzz.  This week I realized that I always had my head tilted back a little bit and I think that is what caused a little bit of my sound not being so resonant because it was further in the throat and mouth.  I fixed that this week!  My sound is really resonant now, Yeah!  I am keeping on working at every piece each day just fine tuning.  I am really excited for the recital!  I just got to keep motivated and practice even harder now!  Hope everyone else had a good week with practicing and I want to shout out to everyone who was in the play: GREAT JOB!  Tata for now!

Week 7

This week I really worked on my expressiveness and bringing the sound really forward and bright!  I worked on a lot of technique with some songs too.  For example I worked the buzz and forward tongue on every some and opened my mouth more especially on Warm as the Autumn Light.  I am working really hard on specific technique on some songs so they are really good to go.  I am really excited for the play and to see my family this weekend as I keep on working at things.  Hope everyone else had a good week!  Tata for now!

Week 6

I am feeling really good!  I got my Voice Jury done for my Junior Recital!  I practiced alot overbreak to finish and to touch up on some things!  I thought I did really well.  I need to spend a little more time with the duet.  I know it but I have not spent as much time on the duet as all the other songs.  I am really happy how things are turning out!  Hope everybody else is having a good week and good practicing!

Week 4 Voice Practice

This week was a good practice week!  Still working on my forward buzz and my vowels, but doing a lot better!  I have everything memorized except for the french and the duet for the recital!  Still need to keep on looking at the scores so I can be sure I do not mess any of the rhythms or notes and so that I am still familiarized and have it in my head.  I am really excited for Spring break to come just so I can relax a little and really get my self together for my jury and recital and to spend some quality time with my family for whom I love very much!  Hope everyone else had a good week of practicing as well!  See y' all tomorrow!

Week 3 Voice Practicing Whoo Hoo!

Week three of voice prcaticing I have been working on my posture even more with not straing my body when I sing.  I also have been doing alot of memorization on all my pieces so that I am good to go on my Recital.  I have been working on my energy this week when practing too!  I felt like I was a little lost in the energy this week and was trying to get my energy back when I sing during when I was practing.  It did get better!  I just have to not think so much and just sing!  Anyway it was a very good week of practicing and a good Wednesday lesson and recital.  Have a good weekend everyone!

Week 2

Week 2 of practicing was really down to key and successful!  I memorized Sento Nel Core and Der Musikant and Die Post.  I am working on my posture stance more and looking Natural when I sing by standing properly and not hunched over and creating tension in shoulders.  I have also been working on my pronunciation in French because I need to refresh myself with some of the words that have shwa's in them.  Overall it was an Awesome week!  I felt like I did pretty well at Wednesday recital too.  Well tata for now but there will be more next week.  See ya!
