Week 3

Started working on the duet piece I plan to do for church with another mezzo soprano, Dvorak’s ‘The Lord is My Shepherd’. Trying to schedule rehearsal times, cannot find a youtube recording of a duet, all I find is in unison (I want to share this with Jenna, the other mezzo.

Continuing to ‘work’ ;-P at relaxing. I tend to go sharp or shrill, but if i relax and open the back of my throat and think of singing forward with vowels in the front and open space in my ‘cathedral’ throat, I am able to achieve a richer, fuller, on pitch tone and have more control in transitions. It is a bit of a breakthrough if I can learn to sustain this practice.
