Um, the voice went on a selah this morning during lesson. It is an unapproved selah, obviously. Didn’t feel much about it, given the voice has been on an unapproved selah for nearly the entire week.

Left the studio thinking about it, plugged my ears and started listening to pavarotti. Listening to his vocal production and trying to imagine myself doing it according to whatever the teacher said. Exhausting. Eventually dosed off in the bus and dragged myself home.

I can’t count dotted rhythm very well. Didn’t do the dotted rhythm as it was penned in concone. I think I did dotted rhythm, but it wasn’t according to the rhythm penned. Probably misread the score when I was reading, which isn’t entirely new. Going to relearn it. I’ll have to skip class next week if I can’t fix that, she isn’t going to teach.

In short, bad day. But it is always good. In an antagonising lesson, I was told what is probably wrong and could work something to revive my voice. The teacher was going along the lines of, you are practising wrongly. That is partially true. Given my voice is/was on selah and that I didn’t practise as much as I will like to because I was afraid of doing everything wrong anyways. Guess it was the right thing to do.

Back to the keyboard after lunch and tried to sing a little. Managed to bring the voice back, front and out. Yay-ness. I don’t get that wavering anymore. Now, I need to remember how to sing it right or I’ll be cursed with more wavering.

Exhausted. It is difficult to deal with being wrong without know how the fault came about. But now that it is cleared, life goes on. Probably can afford a nap before I’ll wake up to practise more. I need to fiddle too. Before my fourth finger goes and before I forget what I have been working on.

Oh dio!

There’s no such thing as a break.
