Hope this finds you well,

The Across the Universe page looks awesome, nice work! I hate that I haven’t been able to come in for a lesson and a chat. Eva got swine flu a couple of weeks ago, which was tough, and now the poor little thing has a cold. It’s been pretty hectic.

I will call you soon though, I can’t wait to see you! Hope your back is feeling better.

Wow. Maybe you remember me? I was a student of yours for about a year at The School of Music in Warwick NY. 2002 maybe?
I am now living in NYC for almost five years now and am so glad to hear that you are part of an organization and teaching!! You have left such a lasting impression on me. Thank you. I have a number at which I can reach you. You will be hearing from me in regards to lessons soon!! Awesome.

Sincerely,

I need help! I’ve read several books by E. herbert Caesari, and the book “How To Sing” by Lilli Lehmann. I’ve worked on Lill’s book for years trying to understand her book or Caesari’s book or trying to combine them looking for the common denominator. I’m confused, and this has effected my speaking voice.

After taking a low breath through my nose and mouth which raises my soft palate and slightly lowers my larynx, my breath is placed in the lower back below my ribs. Now what?
Where is the next physical action? Do I push somewhere my breath,where: lower back vertabraes muscles, abdomin muscles or both, or push my breath againsy my chest? or do I inflate thru my nose?

Instinctively I feel my understanding of Caesari’s and Lilli’s singing technique concept is wrong or distorted.

Sometimes when I hear someone singing like Elvis or Frank Sinatra, I start singing smoothly, noble tones, high notes without effort and beautuful which discribes “Bel Canto”. I call it easy singing like cutting butter!

There’s been times I’ve sung in public and I hit and people’s jaws drop, they stop talking and listen or want to dance.

Then I go back to trying to understand the technique and lose it again. That tells me my concept is wrong!

I’ve got the tones, they don’t need to be develop, I need the mental approach, the mental understanding concept.

My speech concept is the same way distorted, perhaps that gives you a clue what’s going on with me physically, I’m totally healthy. No problems in the throat, mouth, or chest.

Please help a singer!
