Voice Crossing 2014

Voice Crossers!
Excited for another year?
This year we have three musicians joining us on drums, bass & guitar.
Can you believe this is our SIXTH concert?

By now, four weeks pre-performance, all your WORDS should be memorized. Nothing decreases your performance delivery like straining to recall the lyrics. Nerves are the worst when you worry about words. Before you go to sleep tonight, make sure all your words are planted into your memory bank!

Saturday, August 23.
12:00 Rehearsal and Set-up. Expect to hang around for 40 minutes or so. I'll assign you a time to arrive.
4:30 Bring all food. Every family, bring a main dish and a side dish. Set-up cameras.
4:45 Begin serving food.
5:00 Performance starts ON TIME.

Please invite friends and family. Ask them to arrive early and remain for the entire show.

I need one parent to be "in charge" of set-up while I rehearse. Send me an email.

Can someone send me pictures of the ending group shots of any previous Voice Crossings? I only have video.

The first lesson of August, we will time your set and calculate your payment to the musicians. Let's treat them well so they'll come back.

Summer Vacation 2014

The studio is on holiday July 28 - August 1.
Remember to practice only on the days you eat.

In August, the studio will be changing the 3 teaching days to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Bookmark the calendar link so you can view the schedule to make requests for reschedules. I have your emails set to allow viewing. If your Google ID is a different email, send that to me and I'll add that to the permissions. You can also add me to Google+.
Once you log in, go to calendar and "add other calendar" and find +SingersHeartStudio.

The Rosebush Der Rosenstock by Friedrich Heinrich Himmel

I would that my love were a rosebush in bloom!
I'd set him so tenderly here in my room;
Where through the wide casement the soft breezes play.
I'd watch him and sing to him all the long day.
Where through the wide casement the soft breezes play,
I'd watch him and sing to him all the long day.

And while in the dawn and the dusk of the hours
I cherished its blossoms with fresh e'ning showers,
A whisper would rise, as I bent o'er my tree,
"I love the, my darling, and dost thou love me?"
A whisper would rise as I bent o'er my tree,
"I love thee, my darling and dost thou love me?"

"My daughter what ails the?" my mother might say,
"Thy cheeks are as red as the rising of day!"
I'd answer, "Dear Mother, the rose is to blame,
He breathed on my cheeks and has left them a flame."
I'd answer, "Dear Mother, the rose is to blame,
He breathed on my cheeks and has left them a flame."

Studio Info Spring 2014

Spring break is the week of April 14. There will still be four lessons in the April set. There are nine weeks in April and May.

Get ready for the spring recital on April 26 at 5:00 pm. Make your song commitment at next week's lesson.

Plan to dress in nice concert clothes for performing, video and pictures. For young men: slacks and button-down shirt. For young ladies: clothes nicer than you would wear to school. No jeans, denim, T-shirts, flip-flops, sweats, etc.


Spring evaluations for Music Development Program are coming up in May and June. After this testing session, I will no longer be accompanying voice students above level 7 at the evaluations. I believe singers will grow more learning to work with an accompanist.
Also, tutoring for the academic tests will be at an hourly rate.





Thank you for following the studio policies.

1. Tuition is due first week of the monthly set.
2. Make-up lessons are only for illness of the student.
3. Request lesson reschedule 24 hrs. in advance or forfeit.
4. No refunds.
5. Please do not ask me to make-up lessons for these reasons:
  • 1. Stuck in traffic.
  • 2. Forgot.
  • 3. Medical appointment ran late.
  • 4. Sports or other activities ran late.
  • 5. The line at the store was slow.
  • 6. Car broke down or ran out of gas.
If the student has had a fever a day before the lesson, please reschedule. If the parent has had a fever, please stay in the car. Students performing in shows should not be exposed to more germs.
The Goes sisters made a video that has gotten more than a million hits! See below! Congratulations!
