A few months ago I started vocal lessons with a good friend.  It has been such an awakening experience as I have had to relearn basic vocal techniques.  Correct breathing is one of the most essential parts of singing and I am working hard to correct some of the poor habits I have picked up.  I never knew how important daily breathing exercises are and am making it a priority as it is beginning to change the quality of my voice.  It requires discipline spending 15 minutes a day practicing, but knowing that it will bear results is what helps me persevere!  In the coming weeks and months my coach and I will be focusing on singing different genres of music. I am now learning a well-known song in Chinese called ‘Olive Tree’ and look forward to surprising my Chinese friends when I sing it for them!
