    Hello everyone,

    I'm going on vacation tomorrow for more than twoo weeks. So I would not be able to post singing videos this week. I hope I can do it later.

    It was fine for me to share  thoughts and music with each other !

    I will continue to look at your posts this week.

    Thank you, Heidi, for the organisation of this challenge !

    Have a nice summer !

    Kisses from Belgium

       I hope you have a wonderful and restful vacation.

      My family on my mother's side is from Belgium. One set of my great-great grandparents  immigrated from Belgium at the end of the 19th century/beginning of the 20th century.

       Wishing you a lovely vacation! Thank you so much for sharing and being such an encouraging singer. It's such a pleasure watching your work! Looking forward to hearing your beautiful voice again soon - hopefully some of those American songs :)

    I think the next song on my to do list is "Look! through the port comes the moonshine astray!" from Billy Budd (Britten).  Tonebase has a great tutorial on this aria and it is quite helpful.

       Fantastic! That is a monster to tackle and a good one for your voice :)

    I was going to share a bit of "I Love All Graceful Things," but have had a pretty substantial asthma exacerbation after a brief upper respiratory infection, so am not singing at the moment. I'll come back this weekend to share some thoughts. This has been a great TWI. Thank you,

    Just checking in with everyone on this challenge. Any remaining questions or fun discoveries?

       I'm finally feeling better. Yay!

      Regarding discoveries: I've always loved singing, but the depth of that love has increased recently, coinciding with this TWI. It's as though I am beginning to see how much there is for me to sing. I always knew there was a lot of repertoire (not that I knew much about it!), but had not considered that it was something that I could or would sing. That thinking has changed as I'm eagerly discovering all these different sides to my voice and I'm thinking more and more, "I could sing that...." I can't explain what this means to me, except to say that it's as though there's this part of my heart that's finally been able to find its way out and I feel lighter and "more" than I did even just a month ago.

       I know exactly what you are talking about - it's the best part of my job (seeing people "find" THEIR voice). There is a sense of limitless possibility. So excited for all of your discoveries!!
