Not a Good Singing Day

I blogged a couple of days ago about how learning the skill of singing is a process of building certain required habits through feelings. In my case, it has a lot to do with doing away my old singing habit. The thing is, along the way, some new and bad bad habit could come up. Luckily, the teacher caught it right on. I only had it for a few days when I thought I somehow got closer to getting it. No, I didn’t, not with the new habit caused by my overly-delibarate effort.

I am disappointed but not discouraged by the setback. As long as I stay away from the old habit, the new & correct habit will come, will come.

My problem is also the lack of practice time. Usually, when I sing, if Sienna doesn't stop me, that means she doesn't dislike the song. If she asks me to repeat, that means she loves it. After I sing that song for a few times, she will blurt out singing sometime. That's how she learns several songs. Now apprarently, Sienna is not really fond of my faking operatic voice. In the car, we have to fight for our turn to sing. I have about 10 mins every day after the dinner and while she still watches TV. Even that, I get interrupted by her requests for snacks. Daddy is a bigger supporter on this. He would pass by me and say one word, "beautiful!" I don't even want to know what he means. I am only grateful.
