Omg.... tonight I had a singing lesson. I haven't had a lesson in about 8 years and I haven't properly sung since then. To my amazement I still have my voice. I still can hit the high notes, have a good range, can still breathe from the diaphragm and guess what I even sung 2 songs accapella omg!!!
 I've came hone with a pure cheeser on my face. I know I'm blowing my own trumpet here but I'm actually good at something. Can't wait to tell my therapist on Thurs lol

Good for you, Miss Laura. Huge opera fan here. But really, fan of all music, when I am not depressed.
I hope you can keep this up. It is important for us to have things to look forward to. Totally behind you on this!! __________________ When I was a kid, my parents moved a lot, but I always found them--Rodney Dangerfield |

I like opera, too. My husband especially loves opera. His nephew bought us tickets at the Metropolitan Opera House sometime this year. It will be the Czech opera "Káťa Kabanová" by Leoš Janáček. We used to go to the Met a lot in the past. One time, years ago, we met the Czech soprano Magdalena Kožená at a concert at Lincoln Center. She was not so well-known then. She was standing alone in the hallway after the concert and only my husband and I approached her to compliment her wonderful performance and ask her questions. She is now a big star and married to the conductor Sir Simon Rattle. She's a very pleasant lovely lady with an amazing voice. Last edited by Anonymous46341; Jan 13, 2020 at 06:56 PM.. |

I found a recording of me singing 10 years ago. My voice has gone bad since then. I lost my high range. :-( I still sing in the shower and the car but my range is limited. My church choir director said it was my age but i know from having an internal scope of my vocal cords that one of them is paralyzed. I can still sing its just its very hard to near impossible to use my head voice. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

Miss Laura that is so awesome! I'm kind of a link nerd here so please excuse my link. But singing is so good for a person! In so many ways! Beyond the pure fulfillment and enjoyment factor. It has healing benefits too. Singing Health Benefits: 11 Surprising Reasons It's Good for You
Congrats on returning to a passion of yours! Do you think you'll work on practicing a piece for a recital at some point? How fun would that be! |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
