Hello again, I'm trying to learn to do trills. There is a lot of good rep I'd like to do, but I can't to a trill. Grrrrr. Frustration. I've tried doing the alternating two notes as fast as you can, then trying to trill. Maybe I just have not practiced it enough. I've read in Richard Miller, I think Training Soprano Voices, that one's larynx actually ocillates (I know I can't spell) when trilling. My teacher said that she used to have a lot of vibrato and never had trouble trilling. I've started the Lutgen excercises to help my speed and coluratura. Would the two be connected?
Another issue. High notes. I'm a twenty five year old soprano working on Ach ich fuhls and Adieu notre petite table. Everything is going great except for those darn B flats. I can get them, but they are not gorgeous. They don't have vibrato really, and they don't feel right. There is a subtle kind of grabing going on, and I feel like my shape isn't right. Could this be vowel related, or am I just having trouble because high notes are new to me? Advice obviously appreciated. Jean Marie
