As a young singer, I feel it is incredibly important to establish good work and preparation habits. In order to present ourselves in a professional manor we must do the proper ground work to ensure a high quality result. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of learning a new piece. Rushing only leads to half done work that cannot be refined into art. I feel that when preparing anything that will be presented outside of a coaching or a lesson, it is imperative to follow these preliminary steps to insure that your presentation will be of optimum quality. Beginning with understanding the rhythmic structure of the piece is key. Then applying all IPA to the rhythm meticulously. The adding pitch to the rhythm and IPA being careful of elisions and stylistic modifications that will affect the rhythm of the natural language with pitch. LASTLY, rehearse with a pianist adding in any extra markings in the music. This simple ground work will give you the ability to effectively apply style and personal interpretation to you work. These steps should make your next presentation very successful!
