Madanna ? Yes, those who know me well have given me this ( I hope affectionate nickname..)due to my "grasshopper" brain - change of subject mid-sentence for example, and over enthusiasm which produces some odd words when I write quickly without checking the text thoroughly - you've noticed..??
Take a deep breath Sims! Now - calm down, slowly and carefully write and check the screen - so far so godd - no, good - that's better...
How often do you, Dear Reader, accidentally brush over the touch pad and completely obliterate what has taken you several minutes to create? The trick is to find it again !! Like singing - so easy if you know how.....
Many times various singer's have said to me "That phrase is SO difficult, my singing teacher told me I'd have problems with it ". Really ? I dont think that is neccessarily so. My approach is somewhat different.
When I'VE been told something is difficult, I answered "Fine, and that's why I'm here, so that you can help me make it possible". ('Arrogant cow' I hear you think...) Of course, it might be IMPOSSIBLE e.g., for a coluratura soprano to sing Sarastro in the original key, but that is not because it is DIFFICULT!
Two emminent International singers were talking about the standard of singing among some of the participants at a Master Class they were giving.
"It's awful" said one, "none of these singers is very good, I mean they don't have much idea of what to do". "That's PRECISELY why they're here!" was the reply.
Happily the negative tutor was released from their contract, and there was another, similar occasion, to my knowledge ..... please don't be tempted to study a subject with someone who cannot inspire you, improve and develop your talents and interest.....
Am thinking of starting a "spot the mistake" prize section of the blog - just to see if YOU'RE paying attention .... yes,yes,yes, I am teasin' as usual....
Now we come to the "bear with me" part..In the "Megabreather" blog I mispelled Florence' surname, then my yoga gurus' name, she is Louise, not as writ. Anna Larssons' home page is at www.annalarsson.nu - an extra "r" had snuck in to that text...
Sometimes there is a confusion when writing a foreign language - better stick to the English "as she is spoke", and try to keep the spelling correct.....tut tut.....
Be happy breathers .. I think this mail is mistakeless ....pheeeeew....
