way to get familiar quickly with the vocalizes you're doing under your
teacher's supervision -- the more you listen, the more "second nature" the
exercises (warm-ups) will become, and tapes can also help you remember
important points about the music you're working on. You don't want to get
*too* hung up on the tapes, but they can be a good tool, at least for a
while, for some people. >>
Interestingly enough, at yesterday's NATS conference (in WI), a speaker
talked about how students practice, and said sometimes he'll say to a
student, I've got to do something -- I'll be back in 10 minutes -- warm
yourself up. Then he'll go out in the hall and listen to how the student
warms up. I'm thinking about doing that this week.... maybe even getting a
baby monitor to listen from upstairs in my kitchen....
