Tuesday

So today wasn't very exciting either. Sorry. The next few days should be full of exciting stories for you to enjoy. Well there was a story from this morning. Apparently when i set this new alarm clock i got here in salzburg, i accidently set the clock an hour ahead instead of setting my alarm, so i was late to German. I was so mad. but anyway, she understood and i just got the notes from a friend. Then I warmed up and went to my lesson and it was pretty great. I think i have figured out why my support isn't as great as it could be. I'm thinking low, but i need to go even lower. So i think this will solve a lot of breath, range, etc. problems. After that i practiced and did some homework. After lunch we had a masterclass with one of the vocal coaches and she was wonderful. I haven't worked with her yet, but i'm hoping to get the chance to work with her before i leave. After the class i headed back to get some more practicing in. This opera is consuming my life right now, i just want to be as prepared as possible when i come into rehearsals, but im trying not to let it interfere with the things i am trying to learn for the program. So its a hard balancing act, especially with everything else they keep us busy with. Well, I have some more homework to do before bed. Tomorrow is the mid-term recital, thursday we are going to the beer garden as a group and then friday is the competition recital at Mirabel Gardens. So for now, ciao!
