Lesson Comments
Susan has been late to every lesson so far (3 out of 3). As the emotional "upfrontness" and vulnerability of speech and singing can create discomfort, leading to lateness, procrastination, absenteeism, etc. I discussed this with her today. She was very disappointed to realize the lesson was ending after just 30 minutes so I think her timeliness will improve.
She is still completing her assignments and participating with willingness and enthusiasm. Her vocal timbre continues to improve, and I am looking forward to trying some more advanced singing exercises with her, as I think I am discovering some hidden talent there.
