January 24th-28th

This week was a fairly good one for me as far as how practicing and lessons went.  My rehearsal with Mr. Phil really helped me to get a handle on how some of the trickier parts of my new songs went.  Even the Alleluia is coming along fairly well. There are only a few places that the 7/8 timing is tripping me up.  I'm a little worried about putting it with the accompaniment, but not too much.  For some strange reason, memorization is kicking my butt this time around.  Usually it's the easiest part for me but now it's just not coming easily.  I'll just have to spend more time this week concentrating on lyrics and meanings outside of the practice room.

  1. Ah ha! I have FINALLY made you really work for the memory! Have I ever mentioned that I am secretly jealous of your photographic memory? You are truly singing literature at a senior performance major level---it is so exciting to witness your growth and success. I am very proud of you.
    That Rorem has nothing on you---you can do it! Repetition Repetition Repetition.
