I'm looking forward to hearing your performances of your art song this week.

Here are some helpful tips:

Know what you're singing about

Emphasize beginning and ending consonants

Pay special attention to dynamics

Hold notes for the entire duration, ex.  "amar" in "Sebben crudele"

Memorize breaths and perform them the same consistently

Record yourself and critique

Have someone video you singing and critique

Practice walking confidently
