A very belated voice lesson update post (but what else is new, haha): my first aria & lieder (that I got three months ago)! My voice teacher said I’d be getting a new lieder piece this week (“Die Lotosblume”—he played a bit of it & it’s lovely!) & I’m still working on Mimi’s song. 💖🌹🎼 I actually worked up the courage to ask if I could work on a musical theatre piece as well (go me!)! My teacher said he’d bring me something that he didn’t think I would know, so I’m definitely intrigued! 💖🎼 (Also, I still need to post closet cosplay pictures from when I went to Cats. At this rate, it’ll be two months after the fact, oops.) {crossposted} #singer #chorus #music #soprano #sopranoproblems #rabbitheartedgirl #timidsoprano #sheetmusic #lieder #LaBoheme #opera #aria #notasingingvideo #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce4iqZzrOWf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What I’m working on for my voice lessons (& chorus), except I’m terrible about actually practising? My voice teacher said I might be getting a new piece this week, but he mentioned he found a German book (meep) & a book of arias (hopefully Italian?) in his collection, so I’m not sure which one it’ll be from. 💖🎼 (I’m trying to work up the courage to ask him if I can work on a musical theatre piece as well by the end of the semester? And hoping I don’t actually have to sing something for the studio recital.) {crossposted} #singer #chorus #music #soprano #sopranoproblems #rabbitheartedgirl #timidsoprano #sheetmusic #notasingingvideo #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca1E1ResGsV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Singing along to “Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats” whenever it plays on Pandora (& I am not at all warmed up) is a terrible idea. & yet I always do so. Oops? (Has anyone seen the sheet music for this? How high does it actually go??) 🐱🎼 In related news, my mum & I are planning to see Cats when the tour comes to Syracuse in the spring!! (Several hours away, but a more convenient weekend than the closest tour stop.) The theatre has similar protocols in place to Broadway shows & is requiring masks & vaccination cards, so my mum said we could go!! 💖 I’m very excited because I’ve never seen Cats—& also because this will be my first time seeing a musical that isn’t community theatre or a university production in about 20 years (the last professional show I saw was Phantom of the Opera when I was in high school—we saw the tour in Rochester one year & the Toronto production another year)! I’m trying to figure out what I could wear to be vaguely Jellicle-esque. Is “Broadway bounding” a thing?? (Possible ideas so far: wearing my black fluffy skirt with a fake two-piece black sweater & white blouse thing I have for Misto? Alas, I am not brave enough to buy & wear a spiky collar to rep my girl Jemima/Syllabub.) #singer #chorus #music #soprano #sopranoproblems #JellicleSongsforJellicleCats #singingatastronomicalheights #CatstheMusical #notasingingvideo #InstagramStories #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CaQakb_lvf2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Why can I sing the C6 (not the E6, alas) in the PotO title song when I’m singing along to a cast recording, yet feel like I’m struggling with the A5 & B5 in our holiday concert finale piece for choir?? (I suspect voice leading sorcery.) 🎼 {crossposted} #singer #chorus #music #soprano #sopranoproblems #ChristineDaaé #PhantomoftheOpera #notasingingvideo #StarlightLilyCosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CWCovQ-sT8Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is an extreme example but I would give my left arm to find a vintage pair of pumps with this heel shape. No reproductions get the 1930s/1940s heel shape right and it drives me crazy. #sopranoproblems #vintagefashionproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/B1QB3jcpMKB/?igshid=1i12d6za60zsa

I wanted to make a huge compilation of usual mistakes or reactions I make while singing XD #sopranoproblems
