Ruining My Voice

I had a teacher who specialized in speech and theater.  I liked her and took singing from her in the summer.

She asked if I'd do musical theater or opera with her, and I said art songs.  I ended up doing musical theater.

So, I ruined my voice.

Don't worry, I have a new instructor for these times who I can work around with.

My Audition for Freiburger Barockorchester

Here's me doing a church song I like:

In fact, here is a song from college.  The others were largely Italian ones, too.
Here's an Italian one:
I just missed taking German in college, but here's a sample of me learning The Trout/Die Forelle:
We did do a little German, and I felt I picked it up well.  My grandma speaks Dutch, too.

Singing Lessons

My mom said I could start 45 minute singing lessons in May.  Violin is 1/2 hour.  Singing is good for 45 minutes because of warming up things.

Violin

I've been playing without a bridge.

I think in college string class I had a 3/4 violin.

Violin Lesson Books

I bought 2 books, Essential Elements for band levels 1 & 2.  We used this in college string class.

For my lesson yesterday, I got there early and practiced from a book for about 1/2 hour and got thru about 1/2 the book.

A lot of the beginning was pizzicato.
