Relaxing into our placement (continued) Today we finished our "better that we break" song! We are working hard to extend Maggie's range so that she feels comfortable hitting her high notes, transitioning from belt to mix, and so that she doesn't strain her vocal cords as she goes higher. A huge part of this has to do with getting comfortable with our forward placement and having it be the natural path that our voice takes when singing. In order to fully relax into our placement so that high notes become easier - we have to work consistently from vocalizing to song and back again - making sure Maggie's brain knows she can hit those specific high notes in her warm up without tension and with power, and then moving to those high notes in her song and making sure her approach is the same so that they remain easy and free. We worked on both vocal and brain work today - adding movement, starting squeaky, and using our visual reminders to throw each of our words forward! Maggie did SO AWESOME!!! Her range improves every week because she is working so hard!!
