City Out of Mind Music Video
I am very, very pleased to officially release a very exciting project that is a labor-of-love collaboration with my music students Emma Billings and Siena Dziedzic!
Siena is an avid piano-lessons student (10 y.o) and over the past few months, started to use her knowledge of music theory and song structure to start writing her own music! Together we created this song, using loops and recording instrumental tracks on Garageband.
Over some time we created this melody and wrote the lyrics, and I knew exactly the perfect fit to be our featured vocalist! Voice student, Emma Bilings (14 y.o).
We recorded Emma's vocals during her next lesson.
The location you see in this video is our beautiful Hartford's Elizabeth Park where we got together for a hot summer day to capture some beautiful video footage!
Putting this all together was very fun and we officially presented the music video during our Summer Showcase on June 30th at Parkville Sounds in Hartford!
Please join me in celebrating these students for their hard work and immense talents!
Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoy!

    Thanks a lot, actually it helps a lot that you continue singing, especially for beginners for whom it is not intuitive to gradually increase or lower the pitch, so your voice guides through the exercise. It may seem redundant to more experienced users but there is a ton of content for them in youtube, so please keep it this way

    I have struggle with higher notes and just started with these exercises. I can nicely sing lower notes (men singers suit me) however I wonder if I can do more. What is your opinion, do you think anyone can sing higher if he/she practices? Even if I sing lower note songs? Thanks for answers.

    • @SophiaLily
      @SophiaLily Před 4 měsíci

      Hi there! Great question. A singer can always expand their range with the right technical training. There will eventually be a max out, given that your instrument is your body and every body is different. But I believe that with proper training, accessing those higher notes in a safe & appropriate way is possible! It may not be as high in pitch as compared to the range of another singer, but I would say any singer can expand their range into higher notes if you use the right technique ! ☺️☺️

    • @SophiaLily
      @SophiaLily Před 4 měsíci

      I like the comparison here of going to the gym. On your first day of working with a personal trainer, they may have you do body weight exercises (in this metaphor, singing in your normal range with good technique). Then, over time you start to add 5 lbs to your exercises once you have the form down. (Metaphor: singing higher/ lower pitches and moving through pitches faster). Gym analogy: Then you can add more weight overtime, and maybe even start doing more agility exercises. Singing analogy: once you have a great foundation, you can just keep building and strengthening over time! So yes! A LOT can happen with simple repetition and consistency. One way to find out- stick with this video for 30 days doing it every morning, and notice the difference after that time !! It will be noticeable for sure !!
