It’s progress report week 😻💌

This week, I will be giving some productive feedback to my students at Tune-up Music studio on what they have achieved this season, as well as their next steps for what they should be working on improving📝

For my vocal students, we will also be doing a fun test to evaluate how much their vocal range has expanded, and how long they can sustain an exhale on “shhh” while assessing their breath support😮‍💨

If my students do well, they may even receive a baby yoda sticker 💙

Looking forward to handing out some more progress reports this week!

Congratulations to my student Apsara for receiving two gold and one silver certificate at the Newmarket Voice Festival!🎉

She sang beautifully in the foreign language art song category, bipoc composer art song category, as well as a musical theater piece for ‘songs from the screen’🍿

Apsara has been working very hard on these grade 8 RCM level pieces and will soon prepare a program for the OMFA provincials🎼

Way to go Apsara!

And that's a wrap on an ultra-successful Holiday Recital at Hope United Church🎄💚 It was such a pleasure to combine forces with my friends and have a joint studio recital, featuring some very talented pianists, singers and guitarists. What a treat!

Emily is preparing for her RCM 3 exam next week🎊
Guess which popular selection she is playing and comment below 🎹👇

I always encourage my students to keep playing, even when they make a mistake, rather than restarting!

Having anchor points of memory in your practice can help with covering up mistakes ~ tip: make up the bar you forgot and jump to your next anchor point that you memorized🧠

I was working on tongue articulation👅 and minimizing jaw movement with one of my voice students👄😲

And we started making up fun metaphors and visuals to help with our vocal exercises🎤

Sometimes articulating notes with your jaw is absolutely necessary, but if you need to move your jaw for every single syllable, are you working too hard?

Try engaging your tongue to pronounce the words and give your jaw a break‼️ Ventriloquists don't move their jaw at all, so bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point 🤐

Less up and down Pac-Man movement with your mouth, but maybe visualize a reverse pac-man opening in your throat?

👩‍💻Sneak-peak into an online voice lesson I was teaching the other day🩷

Featuring different ways to "lift your soft palate"🥱

Why do we want to do this while singing?

Lifting your soft palate can help create a more "lofty" sound🔊

This is ideal for singers who...

👉Are learning to sing in their head-voice and want a lighter sound.

👉May have some tuning issues and want to sing with more height.

👉Feel like they are hitting a wall or a break in their range.

🎶So what are some ways to lift your soft palate? (the pink part marked on the second diagram)

👉Try snorting like a pig 🐖 this exercise automatically lifts your palate and helps you access your nasal cavity.

👉Practice faking a yawn 🥱 and stretch your mouth open as wide as possible.

👉Inhale a few times in a row with a surprised face 😮 do you feel cold air at the back of your throat? That's where your soft palate is.

🫁Comment if you've learned any other methods that work for you🎼

What do you tell yourself before you walk on stage?🤔

Try saying: I am 🌠EXCITED🌠 three times in your head or out loud before performing

This will transition your state of being from a 😓THREAT mindset toward an 💫OPPORTUNITY mindset

Convincing yourself that you are excited to perform will also counteract your cortisol levels ➡️ which means less stress on stage

Being nervous for a concert is never a bad thing 👏 it simply means you care about how well you perform

You can use your adrenaline to advantage💪

For now on, when someone asks you how you feel before a show, refrain from saying: I feel 🥵nervous🥵 and start saying: I feel 🏆excited🏆
