I've spent a lot of time this week revisiting Les Cloches. We're working on getting the foreign language memorized. I feel like it's coming a long. I have my lesson on Wednesday this week, which is kind of a blessing in disguise. I think I've elected to sing Moonfall again on recital so that I'm more confident when I pull out one of the others. Especially since I didn't get my rehearsal with Mr. Phil last week and no lesson today.
I'm also working on To One Who Passed Whistling Through the Night .... longest title ever, still ... and I am falling more and more in love with it. I'm going to get a recording of it from Mr. Phil this week. I need that to go through with the accompaniment and make it all line up.
I think I'm making improvements. My consistency is better. I'm learning to like my rep (finally) and I think it's successful.
I think Moonfall is a good move....it will give you a chance to work up the others so that you feel confident performing them.
ReplyDeleteHa! Longest title ever....I think if you "block" out the accompaniment for now, conduct yourself, and work in a very "square", metrical fashion, you will come out wonderfully in the end.
I think you are making WONDERFUL improvements, Katie! You have such a lovely voice, and the consistency is starting to show.
Keep up the great work!
