Welcome back Karen. It sounds as if you are very busy these days. It's fantastic that you have a vast repetoire of music. I also really love the earlier music, especially Baroque. My previous post was about my new voice teacher. Well, I was trained on and off the past 3 years as a mezzo-soprano and that is how have been singing and it was very easy for me. My new voice teacher upon our first lesson, his name is Bill, said that I am a soprano but not a mezzo, which doesn't surprise me a bit. I am inclined to loftier notes and arias which require coloratura work. However, I wasn't exactly using proper breath contol for soprano so I am at this place in my singing where I am "pushing out" from my tummy area, if you know what I am saying. I find this easy although it's not so easy to contol the breath with this yet. I am a bit confused because I feel like I have more that one voice. I haven't used my soprano voice since I studied 4-5 years ago, when I pursued Opera at Stanford I was a mezzo. BIll is a really good teacher, I notice. Well....That's what happened last week. I have another lesson on Thursday and 3 hours of practice each day with my coach. Chow! Julie
