Today's lesson went really well. I am to the point now where it is extreme minor details that we are going over, and as far as memory goes everything seems to be sticking pretty well. I had some interval issues with the quartet, but I'll work those out in a practice room and it'll be ready by Wednesday of next week. I think I am going to try and put both my aria and Linden Lea on the Wednesday recital. They are both really contrasting pieces, both in language and style, so it'll be a good test to see how well I can transition between songs in a performance. It seems like its always the little things that I pick up, whether it be from concerts, method classes, or conventions, that help the most. I've found that most of the changes I have made with my voice have been literally microscopic in size, yet have effected it tremendously. My recital should come out just how I want it to, then its on to other songs that I have in mind for afterward. But for now, I'll stick to focusing on my jury next week.

It was great having you at Norfolk with us today! I hope you felt like you got something out of your day.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE....I am excited to be preening each song and working on the minor details. The quartet will be lovely---I would recommend meeting with the others during Shana's lesson....do you have 2:00pm on Tuesdays available? Maybe even 3:00pm--right before band?
Great work this week! I can't wait for Wednesday!
