rhuLast night was my first lesson since three weeks ago (because of the break) and I had that awful cold that's been going around over break, so I was really worried that I would have regressed vocally and forgotten the music that I'm working on. (I was a naughty boy and didn't even review it at the piano.)
I was pleasantly surprised by how well my lesson went. My teacher said that often after taking a break and being sick a singer actually sings better because they don't really care how well they sound, they just want to survive, so they don't tense up! I was certainly much more relaxed than I expected.
And she came even closer to convincing me to sing at a recital in the spring. I've been working on "Honor and Arms" from Handel's Samson and it's a remarkably fun piece to do.
