Question

Voice lessons have not met my expectations. I thought professor rosman’s methods, goals, and repertoire would be predictable and stuffy. Not startling and thorughly unconventional. I knew rosman’s methods were unusual at my first lesson in setember. When he asked me to pretend that I could only make grunts and had no control of my jaw muscles. Another time I had to say “Unique New York” as I went sang scales. At one lesson I even had to sing all my songs with “brr” as my only word. Rosman’s goals for me were not, to my releif, to make me sound like an opera singer. Because secretly I wanted to sound like a torch singer. Like Adele. Rosman wanted me to enjoy singing. To support my voice with good air flow, and to sing the words as I would speak them. He didn’t make me sing opera or art songs. Although I did like the italian and french songs I sang. I sang songs that streched my voice’s range and songs that I liked. Songs such as “Rolling in the Deep” and Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab.” Surprisingly, my favorites were “The Water is wide,” an old folk song that James Taylor has recorded, and “Amazing Grace,” a song that Judy Collins has recorded. Voice lessons have been fun. Not what I expected.

Answer 1

Voice lessons have not met my expectations. I thought Professor Rosman’s methods, goals, and repertoire would be predictable and stuffy, not startling and thoroughly unconventional. I knew Rosman’s methods were unusual at my first lesson in September when he asked me to pretend that I could only make grunts and had no control of my jaw muscles. Another time I had to say “Unique New York” as I sang scales. At one lesson I even had to sing all my songs with “brr” as my only word.
Rosman’s goals for me were not, to my relief, to make me sound like an opera singer, because secretly I wanted to sound like a torch singer, like Adele. Rosman wanted me to enjoy singing, to support my voice with good air flow, and to sing the words as I would speak them. He didn’t make me sing opera or art songs, although I did like the Italian and French songs I sang. I sang songs that stretched my voice’s range and songs that I liked, songs such as “Rolling in the Deep” and Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab.” Surprisingly, my favorites were “The Water Is Wide,” an old folk song that James Taylor has recorded, and “Amazing Grace,” a song that Judy Collins has recorded.
