These past two weeks have provided me with a profound set of experiences regarding my singing and the way I approach learning music. My voice professor is currently out of town performing in Lucia di Lammermoor at the Austin Lyric Opera. Teaching in his place is a wonderful soprano colleague of his who shares in some of his methods and beliefs regarding singing.
Being that last Monday began a brand new semester, I was very eager to start working on the opera and warming up my voice to my role. Thanks to our guest instructor I have a renewed sense of awe in my own voice. We have experimented with many types of sounds and exercises to find what works for me (instead of trying to put a square peg in a round hole) which made me realize that there IS something that works for every individual, you just have to find it.
Regardless of the stress and hard work that I will endure in this next semester, I just keep telling myself that these discoveries are why I sing. I love learning and making new discoveries and today's studio really proved to me that I can achieve my goals. I love to sing, so I will continue to sing regardless of where I am in my life.
