We started off with a warm up of lip buzzes, my zee ay e exercise, more lip buzzes on that exercise, and then my trill exercise. Followed by the new trill exercise I described in last weeks blog. During all of these we of course just worked on getting the voice moving as my lessons are pretty early in the morning and then just really getting a good warmup in with good placement and purpose.
Then we worked on the Italian of Deh Vieni non tar dar and then we took the recitative phrase by phrase and connected the speech to a "sing-songy" voice! After that, we would take those same phrases and sing them through obviously implementing the language corrections that were necessary.
Dr. Chiesa then joined us and we ran the song through once, then again but this time stopping for correcting in either the language or with the leaps at the beginning of the aria and working on the placement.
This weeks lesson was really focused on language and getting that right in my song, along with placement and some breath support during the warm-ups as clearly that is always a work in progress.
