Choir practice. Quire practice.

Choir went well. I both dread and look forward to being forced to sight-sing.

It's scary as hell. *grin* I'm glad I keep going.
Good for me to remember that there's stuff I wanna do that I have to work on learning how to do it.

and this lesson's visceral. the fear locks up in my belly, and the frustration makes me squint and work harder, and I angle my head so I can hear the other altos and try to tune in to what they're singing...

very physical. Is good stuff.

Well, Mark gets us CD's with MIDI files of the upcoming performance pieces, and Jeff and I practice using those... but really, I just want to know how to train my voice to hit "D" when the music says "D". In service of that goal, a bit of music theory would be good also.

Singing in tune/recognizing when I'm "off", since I can't always spot myself in comparison with the others...

yeah. training my ear and my brain to work together, breath production and management, phrasing, and nailing the harmonies.

heh.
I don't want much, do I?
