Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to sing for God, not for mankind.

Its seems as though another week has come and past, these weeks seem to fly by faster and faster every semester. I thought this week went really good, I had some good practice, I thought singing in studio went really good, and I felt like we made some good ground in my lesson to improve my understanding of head/jaw position. I feel like Non e ver is going well and I can really spend time working on the character of the piece and in time I know memorization will be easy with more practice. I have also spent some time on my two Charles pieces. My Lady Walks in Loveliness along with And So,Goodbye just need some practice of singing through the notes to the point where I can hear the melody without second guessing myself and also just focus especially on diphthongs in those pieces. Other than that I am begging to work on Hostias and making sure I use a lot of wide open vowels and focus on consonants. And on the side of those I will begin looking at my French piece Le Charme and getting down the diction (the usefulness of taking diction is already showing). In sense of all things I really feel good about this semester, and its not because I am working a whole lot harder than I have before, its because I can use my time as great worship and offer my music up to God.
