Day 1!

Happy New Year! I started off the new year by working a double at Tomato Cafe! I am happy that it consist of pizzaz, pastas and vegetables which can make up a healthy meal (minus the pizza). I did have a nice break to squeeze in a practice session at y parents house. I posted this so late at night because I had work all day, went to dinner with my parents and had to do some last minute packing for NYC tomorrow! So excited! We're seeing American Idiot tomorrow! 

So her is my practice and meal logs:

Daily Practice Session

Technical Concepts -Worked on breathing and hitting a note using breath rather than force. 
Minutes -10

Repertoire - "I Cannot Hear the City" from Sweet Smell of Success and "Love Can't Happen" from Grand Hotel
Minutes – 20 

Successes – "Love Can't Happen" is getting better each time I practice it. I am getting more comfortable hitting and sustaining the note at the end. "I Cannot Hear..." feels more comfortable in my range and I am finding the correct placement for the song. 

Areas for improvement – I still struggle finding the right placement for "I Cannot Hear the City." It has been the most challenging song I have ever worked on for this reason, and even though I have performed it, I am still constantly working on it. For "Love", I still need to work on the vowel for the high "A" at the end.  
Notes: Breathing in and slightly snoring is very very helpful!

Healthy Eating

Meal Description – Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce. Steamed broccoli, garlic green beans and a salad with Greek Feta Dressing!
