My vocal beginning

My week has been filled with more practicing than listening this time.  I still get onto youtube and the NAXOS music library and listen to my pieces, but now that I have more of the text down, I have begun to sing.  I try and keep myself loose in the neck and jaw area by doing many exercises.  A couple of which include double tonguing and moving my head side to side as I sing scale vocalises.  The pas week has felt productive because I was able to have two lessons with my instructor, so I feel all the more confident.
