Tuesday Slice: Key of E

T:
(Check-in chit-chat first.) 

How's your day been?  Ready to warm up?

(Scales, broader and longer now that breathwork is improving.
Ohs to ahs to ohs again, down deep to up high.)

Slow, then faster...open up wider, feel the back of your throat lift.
Let's try that scale again.
Good!  Feel warmed up?  What do you want to work on today?

C:
Can we try the Dixie Chicks' version of "Landslide" this time?
It's a bit higher than the Fleetwood Mac version, want to see if it fits.
I'll be good and stand up; nope, I'm not quite ready to try the mic yet.

(Oh, yes, the phrasing is different, not sure if I like it as much.)

Let's try Stevie Nicks next to compare.

T:
Oh, that is much lower...what if we try some keys in between?
Up one key...okay, that one is still a bit low...let's go up one more.
Hmm, that sounded good; let's try one higher.
Nope, I think the last one might be the best.
Let's run through the whole song one time.

T:
Let's not forget for next time; you are singing this in the key of E.
Are you thinking of performing at the recital?  Have you signed up yet?
No?  Well, think about it!

C:
(Thinking about it.)
