As you know, my jury was last week and all in all it went great! It's the best I've felt walking out of that hall in all of my years here. I remembered all of my words in French (the song I chose to begin with was Que fais tu blanche tourterelle) and the French sounded great in my voice. All of my teachers said that song showed a great improvement in my vocal and performing techniques. The faculty then asked for my Wolf selection In dem Schatten meiner locken, which went well also. Overall, the faculty said I could improve on some of my German diction, details in my phrasing and my presentation of the character in both songs.
My voice teacher said I earned a well deserved A in voice this semester. Although I struggled, I got it all together in the end and finished strong.
As for the summer, one of my goals is to learn Una voce poco fa, a Rossini aria as well as to learn some French and German diction. I also hope to play more piano, since I haven't actually sat down to play an actual piano piece in over a year.
About Me
- LeslieKate
- I've had the opportunity to study music and voice for almost five years now. Since beginning the study of voice back in high school, I've followed the path of becoming a music major in vocal performance at my university. Currently, I am a mezzo-soprano in my third year and I am aiming to go on to grad school to continue my studies in vocal performance. At this point in my vocal education I'm beginning to realize that I have learned many things about the voice, how to use it and how to perfect it. I've also learned much about the repertoire that all beginning singers and mezzo-sopranos must learn. Although I have learned a lot, I still have much more to discover before I become a full-fledged professional singer. In this blog I hope to address the various struggles and lessons I come across as a singer while this semester progresses. Also with the help of this blog, I hope to perhaps provide advice to other aspiring singers facing the same issues as myself.
