Und meine Seele spannte weit ihre Flügel aus.
I'm listening to tracks from my junior recital. Of course it's hard to compare because I found out two days after this recording that I had nodes, but I'm just remembering singing "Mondnacht" in voice lessons and thinking that all of the high F's felt like I was doing them wrong, and Terry reassuring me that they were floating up into exactly the right place. I just couldn't feel it. And now I listen to that song and I realize that they were right. I wish I could go back to my junior-year self (wow, could that really have been only a year and a half ago?) and tell her exactly how to handle that song. When I'm healthy, I may have to revisit it.
It strikes me that Professor Brunssen was right. When I e-mailed her two and a half years ago saying that I wanted to switch studios because I wasn't learning any technique with Ms. Fischer, she told me not to be too hasty, because sometimes when you're a sophomore in college, your teacher tells you technical stuff and you just can't wrap your mind and your muscles around it. In this case, Ms. Fischer actually wasn't teaching me any technique, but Karen also had a really good point. I only just now started to understand what Terry has been teaching me to do for two years.
In other news, I've all of a sudden become a runner. When did that happen?
