Day 5

NY is so much fun!  I'm having a great time!  I have lots of updates for you and will be posting tons of stuff once I get back to NM, because the internet here is soooo slow and I'm hardly in my hotel room.

Daily Practice Session

Technical Concepts -  Warm up with my vocal cd.  mixing and releasing throat, jaw.  focusing on a dopey sound 
Minutes - 20

Repertoire - Ran through Calm from Ordinary Days and my key of "I'm Alive" from Next to Normal
Minutes – 11

Successes – I'm alive is a really great key now and I'm having a bunch of fun with it.  Calm is really also perfected and is one of my favorite pieces.

Areas for improvement – There are odd breaks in I'm alive that still need to be worked for a lower voice.  since the originally the song is so high some parts of the song are a bit strange now and need adjustment

Notes: Not a pianist in town (NY) is willing to play Calm.  It's too hard to sight read.  Not a good audition piece all round.
