This week's lesson at Ernestine's was a big reminder to go with the flow! My student was following their own singing inspiration, so I threw out my plan and decided to follow their musical instincts. Together we experimented singing long sustained notes, practicing our scales with volume dynamics, and challenging each other with new ways to sing. This gave us the opportunity to talk about the difference between yelling and singing, and we started learning the notes that make up the treble clef.
