This morning German class was a lot of fun again. We learned a few verbs such as sien: to be, haben: to have, lieben: to love, gehen: to go, and kussen: to kiss. We also learned a little bit about sentence structure… I’m hoping I retain it. As far as the conjugation goes, I think I’ll be all right. The sentence structure gets complicated.
I had my first voice lesson with Yvonne directly afterwards. She’s going to be absolutely wonderful to work with. We did some warm-ups and she’s helping my with the initial attack of a not so it’s not to airy, but crisp, clean and clear. She said I’m definitely a coloratura and that my high range is marvelous, though I need to be sure to give more energy, air as I ascend. I believe I hit a very good high E and possibly even the F. I never look at the piano as I warm up because I tend to psych myself out on the high notes. When the pianist came in I san “Una voce pocco fa” from Il barbarie di Siviglia. She’s really going to help me get my head lined up, so my neck is straight and my chin is not up putting stress on my larynx. She was really impressed when she told me to do something and I usually got it right away, but they are things I need to practice and she will continue to remind me over the next 7 lessons. I can’t wait for Thursday!!
Pretty soon it’ll be time for lunch… I wonder what we’ll be having today.
Tschuss!
