🙏 The kind words incredibly move me from Paul Sommers of the Newark Star-Ledger! "After witnessing the moving performances of Altman vocal works, both pieces were of operatic quality. Here, Altman showed his ability to compose an operatic scene, for it can hardly have been easy for him to have set these texts to music. His music elevates their meaning. Anguish and anger and Plath`s diary entries acquire a life, a vividness beyond the confines of the author's beloved words on the page." Altman`s music tends to be angular and dissonant. When he uses non-tonal language, it does not have the sound or texture of classic dodecaphonic serialism. He is quite comfortable crossing from the non-tonal to the very tonal when it suits his purposes. #Grateful #CustomerFeedback #Review #NewarkStarLedger

--->>> ""The piece, which dates to the mid- to late-1760s, consists of seven miniature movements for a string trio."" What are they putting out like it's something important? however, if societies are educated by the system based on music-pleasure, and a person knows the names of movies and the dates they were made better than their relatives... It's like a document of historical significance -> When musical notes also resemble Semitic languages.....Stealing attention.... If such an agenda is being made, this agenda wants to be substituted for something as a thieving agenda. If music becomes a guest for you with woman (fornication) and alcohol buddies?

Wholeheartedly agree! Learning from industry leaders can offer valuable insights and aid in discovering your own unique style.
Should you learn from the MASTERS⁉️… When I was in college studying voice, a common theme among my teachers was to sing in your own way. They advised against listening to other renditions of a song you're trying to learn and suggested relying solely on your voice and the sheet music. This was 20 years ago. Fast forward to today, with advancements in technology and evolving practices, I largely disagree with this approach. While the old method might work for some, I believe it isn't the best advice for most singers. To become great, you must first emulate the greats. 1️⃣ 🎵 If you aspire to be an exceptional classical singer with an amazing voice, it's beneficial to listen to renditions by renowned opera singers like Maria Callas, Jessye Norman and Renée Fleming, just to name a few. These professionals have honed their craft over many years, and you can learn from their nuances, tempos, and rhythms. Having a point of reference helps you understand where your voice fits and what audiences appreciate. 2️⃣ 🎶 Relying solely on sheet music and your voice can feel like driving blind; you might struggle with style, direction, and audience preferences. If you're serious about becoming a great opera singer, start by listening to your favorite renditions. 3️⃣ 🌟 Ensure you choose singers with similar voice types and ranges. Picking voices too different from your own can be challenging and unproductive. Follow those whose voices align with yours and who have achieved what you aspire to. #VocalMastery #VocalTechnique #ClassicalVoice 🎥 Heather promotion concert 🎶 full song here ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3woK97C

This piece of music is Bringing Generations Together. Imagine four generations singing an old song together. Grandparents, parents, kids, and grandkids all sing, sharing something special. The song is like a time machine, carrying important ideas. When they sing, differences disappear. Music helps them share wisdom and values. Each generation adds something unique, creating a beautiful mix. Together, they teach us about tradition and how our actions affect the future. Music shows that we're all connected, despite our differences. We should treasure moments like these, learning from the past and creating a better future together. As the final notes fade into the ether, let us ponder: What melody will we pass on to the generations yet to come, and what harmonies will they add to our timeless song of life? #HarmonyAcrossGenerations #MusicalLegacy #UnityInMusic #GenerationalHarmony #LifeLessonsFromMusic #TimelessWisdom #FamilySingAlong #LegacyInSong #UnityThroughMusic #InterGenerationalBonds

Words hold immense power, Part 1! Once, I dreamed of joining my church choir, convinced of my strong baritone voice. When I shared this idea with a friend, she cautioned me, suggesting my voice might not fit. That moment dampened my passion for music generally. Today, I regret not giving it a try. I lack musical skills and can't even play any musical instruments. Though unintended, her words had a lasting impact on my musical aspirations. Let's always uplift others' dreams. If something seems daunting, offer encouragement instead of doubt. Your words can shape destinies without you even realizing it. Never let others' opinions define you. Embrace your ideas boldly. Even if you stumble, it's a valuable learning experience, not a mark of failure. #StayMotivated #HopeAlive
