Dear Friends,
Here's a little something to help you start the new Millennium off right!

A SINGER'S BLESSING

May your voice never wobble and your commitment never waver.
May your technique be reliable and your support solid.
May your posture be straight and your jaw flexible.
May your health be robust and your energy level high.
May your diction be clear and your intonation pure.
May all of your high notes be easy, clear and ringing.
May all of your low notes be warm and lustrous.
May your coloratura be clean and your legato flawless.
May all of your accompanists be brilliant--and able to transpose if needed!
May you win the roles you audition for, and may your performances be
thrilling.
May all of your audiences be appreciative, and all of your colleagues
supportive.
May your interpretations be insightful and your inspiration endless.
May composers be inspired to write for your voice.
May your delight in singing be a delight to all who hear you.
May your joy in music grow as your knowledge increases.
May your circle of admirers and friends steadily increase.
May your study of singing help you to grow in wisdom and spirit,
transforming your life and the lives of others.
