Siinnnnngg-Ah, emphasize the ng abuzz in the nose
the
four
descending
notes on Ah,
listen to those
Our director pushes us higher and higher up the scale
in a warmup that leaves me dizzy and cold.
Lately, I sing Tenor and had forgotten the fun of reading
treble clef, transposing an octave
down,
the thrill of carrying a melody line, reading words and notes
all at the same time, standing up, sitting
down
the do it again of it,
-we’re all in the same boat with it,
the cringe for the guy behind
me who struggles to match pitch dammit
I could be kinder in my mind but old
perfectionist habits die hard.
shhhhh
maestro approaches
Sing
Ahhhh
