Last night I met with Dr. Lisa Grevlos, professor of music at Augustana University for a voice lesson. Though I also teach voice lessons to beginners, I knew I needed help brushing up on techniques that I have forgotten or been lazy about. I sing a lot, every day…in lessons, with my kids, in church, in the car. Very little of that is good quality, proper technique singing. Sooo, I’ve developed some bad habits!
In preparing for this competition, I knew I needed a vocal coach to help me sound my best. Dr. Grevlos was wonderful in helping me, and it was great to have time to focus on my voice and being the best performer I can be.
Now that I’ve been reminded of those bad singing habits, I’ll need to put in some practice time to correct the issues. Some listeners may hear me now and say “that was great!” but I know that I can be even better and I’m willing to put in the time it takes.
