Lesson Reflection 7

Trills:

- Entirely release the jaw on inhale- constant breath- Lift the palette on the breath- No softer than MF; any softer makes it easy to come off of the support- Plug nose and sing above the plug- Keep the space as you work higher in the range- Create the space; sing in FRONT

Ya-Ya-Ya:-[j] happens in the resonance, NO WHERE ELSE-Do not come off of the supportsound will shrivel-[ka] switch-do NOT allow the [k] to be in the space. work through it to get to the vowel

-This will sound fuzzy-NO HS!!!!-Relax the tongue-Breath for the top note and support it!

Ki-i-i-i-i-i:-Keep the sound high and forward in the resonance-Sing through the forhead-Switch to [ke]-Never let the sound fall!

-Switch to [ka]-Get through the [k] quickly!-Switch to [ba]-B works more effectively! Roll it forward into the mirror-Always stay open and supported-Descending, switch to [bo]. Keep the open [a] space but add lips.-Switch to [bu] and don't let it fall into the space

Bi-a:(Ki-a but using [bi] instead)-Shoot for PURE vowel!-snarly and forward!

-NO hs!-Lift through the ascent, and lift cheeks-Stretched through a high d! work on connecting this!
