We all want to be somewhere quickly, and singing is no different.
Lockdown in the UK has given those of us lucky enough to be able to work from home a chance for time to slow down a little, but we are all suffering from the need to have everything done already- so how quickly can you really master a technique?
Jerome Hines' book Great Singers on Great Singing is definitely worth a look. It's fascinating that so many world class opera singers have such different ideas about what their singing technique actually is.
Incredibly, 19 year old Pavarotti spent 6 months with his teacher Arrigo Pola just working on technique before he did anything else at all.. I imagine he learnt the value of patience very well, but only in retrospect!
How do you warm up? What exercises are you completing daily? Are you patient with yourself and your voice?
