Using SoundCloud as a performance venue during South African Lockdown. A few things to fix but happy with general shape & very happy with messa di voce work and head voice work.

Experts attribute one of the reasons for the decline in singing standards to the rise in pitch. The #guitar offers limitless and effortless opportunities to change pitch to the pitch that suits the music and the singer. The height of Bel Canto was a lighter voice production in an environment where music was, more often than not, tailor made. This picture shows a capo which instantly changes the pitch and also a Fender pro-tuner. I am singing all my Verdi at 432HZ and experimenting with Donizetti also at 432HZ. My Mozart is shifted to 421.6HZ. I am becoming increasingly convinced there should be a rethinking of pitch. Luckily, the early music performers are already making inroads into this. The historically appropriate use of the guitar as accompaniment, even if simply basic chords, should be revitalised when training young singers. #belcanto #opera #nzopera #capetownopera (at Franschhoek, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDhPAdp-fc/?igshid=1ut7a2fgvhr3d

All that is requisite is to anticipate from the first note the exact manner in which you will sing the top note; for it is the forward tone in the higher part of the scale that must give cue to the lower, not vice-versa.
