Day 25! 5 more to go!

Daily Practice

Technical concepts: Worked down from my falsetto and easily warmed up.

Minutes: 10

Repertoire: "I Cannot Hear the City"

Minutes: 20

Success: Just went over what Matt and I worked on before my lesson. USed correct vowles and placement.

Areas of Improvement: I was still not making my vowels forward enough, but we worked on that.




Voice Lesson 3

Time and date: Today at 12:30

Instructor: Matt Naegeli 

Minutes: One nour

Repertoire: I Cannot Hear The City 

Points Covered: We worked on a lot of "ee" to "ay" warmups, and they felt really good. I felt like I made a lot of progress and didn't get corrected that much! haha! We also talked about hitting a not soft and straight tone before growing and adding vibrato.

Notes: Again, it felt really good to sing so healthy and forward. We talked about my current placement, and how it was very forward and nasal, and because of that, my throat is having to work more than it should. He said that the way I am singing now is more connected and full an also connected more to my breath. he did say to kind of res my voice and not sing or talk if not necessary. So For the remainder of this, I'm going to take it a little softer and easier. 




Yoga and dance, number 7 and 8!

Today at 6:30/5:00

Difficulty Level: All. Hot Vinyasa/ Ballet 1

Studio/Instructor: Blissful Spirits with Rebecca/ UNM with Vladimir

What I most Enjoyed: Just exercising and feeling active!/ I love ballet, and fell like I do really well in it and have the basics down.

What I found Challenging: My arms were so so tired this morning. I had to take more breaks than usual. / For Ballet, I had a hard time keeping my hips turned out, and then it started to pinch a bit, so I eased up.

Observations: I'm sad I have to stop in February because I start my workout plan.../ I always need to focus on my turn out!
