Boston, MA. 21ºC!!!
Being a good girl means doing what your mom or your teachers tell you to do. So... I wanted to be a good girl and I picked the song for my class according to a sentence that got stuck in my brain "I'm Not Afraid of Anything is a great song for your voice but The Wizard And I may be a bigger challenge for your middle range voice". Bigger challenge? Here I go. Although, I like much much better I'm Not Afraid of Anything I decided to work on The Wizard And I so my learning process would be richer. jeje
My biggest mistake was to listen to the recording of Idina Menzel over and over again without spending too much time with the sheet music. The result... Me trying to do what she does in a really poor way. One, because it is not my way of doing it so is not as intuitive and natural for me and two, because she kind of uses her voice in a way that I'm not so familiar with like belting the highest notes. I just can't do it without being pushy and flat. So... It was not a great first time for the song. note: just learn the sheet music as it is and then if wanted, make MY OWN changes to personalize it.
But oh, surprise! Pam tells me that she likes better the other song for me but she thought that I wanted to do this one better. Misunderstanding... Oh, noooooooooo! I tried to be the Good Girl looking for the big challenge and it turned out to be that we both thought that I'm not Afraid Of Anything would be a better choice for me. Jajaja Sometimes life is funny...
Next time, I'm Not Afraid Of Anything from Songs For A New World by Jason Robert Brown.
Raquel- No matter what, always learning something new
