LOLOL! That gives new meaning to the word "ridiculous."
<<My advice -- proceed with caution. It is *VERY* difficult to let go of the
"imprinting" that happens when you internalize a piece of music. If it's
something that you'll likely be singing later with a different technique (and
you can rest assured that your technique WILL change as you age), you might
want to think twice about learning it now.>>
Amen.
<<If it's an aria that you'll likely never want to perform ever in your life,
then it's probably safe to use it as a study piece, since you won't have to
unlearn it later. >>
Even this has its dangers--how many of us have started out disliking a piece
and then really learned to love it!
