MY PARENTS ARE HERE! (Healthy Meal #11)

Hello there! My INCREDIBLE parents are in town this weekend, so I will be spending more time offline than on! Get ready for some short posts so I can enjoy all my time with them... Pictures to come! 


Here we have healthy meal #11! It's a super simple bowl again of Greek yogurt, walnuts, blueberries, and chia seeds! With the weather turning so hot this week, I've really enjoyed this cool, creamy breakfast to start my day with protein and healthy fats!




For my daily practice, I felt like I've been on an Adam Geuttel kick ever since yesterday, so I decided to work on my other favorite show of his, Floydd Collins!

Minutes: 35

Repertoire: "Through The Mountain"

Technique Worked: the beginning of this song is so hard it's crazy! I really have to drill it and focus on my classical technique to pull off the high notes, especially not getting my tongue stuck in the back of my throat because it's so fast! 

Musicality Worked: the opening of the song is so nonsensical at times, and it's my job to make sense of it with deliberate phrasing and focus. Then it's important to find the contrast in the body of the song between frenetic energy and the trance-like state of the song. 


Thanks for checking in with me!
