Day 69 - 2march2022 - Diy singing challenge "Qiu Yi Nong","I will survive" Gloria Gaynor, "My Funny Valentine" Chet Baker and more

  Day 69 -  2march2022 - Diy singing challenge "Qiu Yi Nong"

and other tunes, "I will survive" Gloria Gaynor, "My Funny Valentine" Chet Baker, "You are my first, my last, my everything" Barry White, "Ruby Tuesday" Rolling Stones, "Maria" Leonard Bernstein and others not in any order for now.

These are all sketches of the various song, from doing the sketch, i could see so many areas that I could tweak. Great music, I printed out the lyrics, and will work on it. But singing is a slow process because your vocal cordes are tiny muscles, you cant work on it like a brutal "work out". At least that is what i think. Must be careful says my choir teacher, take care of your voice. Pros have been singing since 5 or 10 or whatever age, thats a lot of building up of singing practice. :) Aretha Franklin is one of my favorites, Gloria Gaynor, Camille, and many others. It is in singing their tunes that i discovered, singing has so much nuance, textures and layers of expressions, what sounds simple, is really not.

En Plein Air Kleinburg

Here is my en plein air painting done over a few hours at Kleinburg. Canada for the Kleinburg En Plein Air exhibition, rule is, you must paint in open air on their grounds.

So I saw a few people with v high tech beautiful easels, little wagons with equipments, backpacks etc  With my minium equipment, it was already very good to have a friend with me.

V beautiful site.  Contemporary Open air painting. 

 I did not take many pictures because sometimes something being taken a picture of changes the state of the work and the work itself.  
It is a first time for me to paint directly on site, and it raised my curiosity of open air painting.
I had mainly painted inside my studio.  I first take a lot of photos from a site, then i choose from the photos the ones that incites some feelings of the site, and i paint from there on.

But i always ask students to draw and paint after real life, not from the imagination. And always paint only what you see, what you have observed and not some graphics/comic book idea of what you see.

Here is the pine tree that i have painted from the Kleinburg site.  Quick sketches









"Diy learn to sing" experimental work, phase 1 learn to sing, and phase 2 singing solo



Here is my report from a singing challenge posed in our group approx 6 months ago.

http://swannbb.blogspot.com/2022/02/day-65-sending-report-to-fan-group.html I just want to thank the super fan group - I have never joined any fan groups before - without you, I would not have done this "Diy learn to sing" experimental work. http://swannbb.blogspot.com/2022/02/blog-post.html for more details of the experiment https://swannbb.blogspot.com/2021/12/day-47-25dec2021-karaoke-qiu-yi-nong.html :)
And yes, I dont only want to learn to sing, I want to perform solo at least once, just to see what its like. so that is the target now. :)

Phase Two of diy singing

Phase Two of diy singing 

I did not use karaoke app at the beginning, because I don't have such equipment at home, but the choir teacher told me about the smart phone app and it turns out to be perfect for my use. 

But a real life teacher could fine tune your voice that a self practice app will take a lot longer because you might not know where to look. 

But, there is no "wasted" time - because there is no deadline - everything you do will augment your process. Only thing I sort of worried was learning bad habits, made irreversible damage to my voice.

Since I am not learning from a rock star but more structured classical singing this damage is not likely.

However, i noticed that often, belle canto singers when singing pop doesn't sound v gd - voice is too polished like a glossy candy. 

Is this true? Will find out and let you know. If, singing has to do w muscle memory, then some sounds are gd for some kind of singing but once installed cannot be un-learnt so easily?  

What do you think, dear singers in the Dears?

Make your dream come true :: somebody dreams of singing w D on facebook

What true fans might dream of....

  









Dee Dewitz
I would love to meet Dimash, but my dream is a little different than most of yours...... And probably to the extreme but I imagine meeting dimash on stage and singing with him that is my biggest desire........  He may have seven plus something octaves who knows...... But I'm quite comfortable with my 4.2 octaves I think we could do something together...
😘🤭☺️
