I. have one song picked out.  It's even a song that doesn't need a lot of floofy piano playing.  It is made for chords.  Like... The piano part is Chords and a mirror of the melody.  Which I'll be singing so I don't need to play it because that would be silly ( Read more... )

Why! Is the one book I was looking for missing from the big box of music I got?
I have all my music from musicals, but I want a folk song, or a rock song... something upbeat and different!

I want to practice.
I have a song I should be able to at least fake... but my brain is not doing music.
Like... Notes are just not working.  And chords... wtf are chords tonight and why do the ones written down have nothing to do with the rest of the notes.
You can't do that chord next to that note! What is happening?  How do I music?

my singing is breathy.  Because I forget that air is important.
And I can't breathe to sing properly at night because I have to be quiet for the neighbors.  So... I need to get up in the morning.  Remember to breathe right and actually sing at full volume and see if that fixes it.
Because it should.
Stand up. 
Breathe.
Use all your air.

I...I don't quite know what to do about today ( Read more... )
