Have you ever had a teacher who only works with technique or only works with the phrasing and because of their one focus, you miss the time to get to the level of a song where you could perform it at a concert?

What makes up working on a song?

• Melody
• Words, including a foreign language
• Dynamics
• Phrasing
• Emoting
• Tempo/Rhythms
• Technique—like breath management, the passaggio, range, vibrato, no tension in places like jaw, neck, shoulders, larynx relaxed and more

Why is it important to have these concert ready?

1. Shooting for a goal. Looking for an end result.
2. It can build our repertoire.
3. To be able to do something at a higher polished level so confidence is built.
4. To have the satisfaction of completing something and feeling fulfilled.

“Working through an entire song to get it to the level of performance can cause you to push yourself and step out of your comfort zone.”
