[musictlk] update on high notes

[Mary Donahue]

Hello Kelsey and everyone,

	First, Kelsey, I apologize for having called you Chelsea in my last
message. Second, have you tried sitting on the edge of your chair? That's
what I've been doing during church choir practices. I also do the same thing
on Sunday mornings during the quick rehearsal before the first service.

Subject: [musictlk] update on high notes

Hello,
I started a thread a while ago about singing high notes.  I wanted to update
you all.  It has not gotten any easier.  I try to focus on my breathing
during rehearsal as best I can, but it still seems very difficult.  It turns
out that I am not the only person struggling.  The person next to me told me
that she too thinks the one piece is high for her.  I think a couple other
altos have the same issue too.  Several of you posted that bending your
knees helps, but we are already sitting, so this really does not apply here.
He occasionally has us stand to rehearse a single piece all the way through,
but other than the rehearsal before the concert, we sit 90 percent of the
time.  I am not able to get a voice teacher at this point since I'm already
have commitments that would prevent me from studying voice right now.  Does
anyone have any other ideas that might work?
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
