Voice Lessons

Hey there!
So, this morning I had my first ever voice lesson. It was quite interesting. I loved it, but it was quite and experience.
I was amazed at how the slitest thing can make your voice go all screwy.
First....we stretched. She wanted me to relax and get into an easy relaxed mode. I was all giggles the whole lesson, I just had to laugh becuase I felt so rediculous. Then, she evaluated my posture. Yes, You need to have a certain posture when you sing: feet apart and legs slightly bent, shoulders back and chest raised. I was good at with that...but she had me do something else. Tuck my tail bone in and move my pelvic bone so that my lower back is competely flat. I felt so wierd. But she said that it looked really good...hehe!
Then...she started to teach me how to properly sing. I learned some things that I have never even dreamed of..hehe! When you sing, you must open your mouth as wide as you and form your mouth into an inner smile. My cheekbones high and eyebrows raised...in correct posture..she had me sing Mighty to Save. She adjusted a few things and then we went into depth with the words of the song. So powerful. Then she dug into my heart and told me to sing my song to the Lord and to people that may seem like they have no hope and that God cannot handle their problems. Then, I sang. I had no idea that I could make a sound like that! I felt like my heart was coming out through my song...and it felt good. It was fun! SHe then gave me a song to work on for the week...I had a really good time. I like voice lessons already! My teacher is really good and fun. She has an incredible voice! Ah! I hope that I can sing like her someday. anyways...that is the chronicle of my first voice lesson...I hope that there will me more to come.
