YFS at UK

On Oct. 28, I presented a Yoga for Singers workshop at the University of Kentucky. It was a presentation for the Voice Pedagogy class of
Dr. Noemi Lugo, Professor of Voice at UK and my high school voice teacher!
I studied with Noemi from ages 15-18 and she coached me through the role of Maria in West Side Story.

Tomorrow I'm doing a yoga session for the members of UE's Phi Mu sorority. It seems that everyone is exploring and enjoying yoga...

3 Finalists at Kentucky NATS

On October 22-23, I took 9 of my UE students to Kentucky NATS at Berea College. 8 of the 9 made the semi-finals and 3 were finalists. I was especially proud of my freshmen women: MacKenzie Sweeney won 1st place and Ali Wregglesworth won 3rd in Freshmen Women, and Michaela Tussey was 3rd in Underclassmen Muscial Theatre. The Kentucky chapter is actually closer for us than the Indiana chapter, and I thought the event was refreshingly well run. It was great to judge with my first voice teacher, Dr. Noemi Lugo, to run into Eric DeForrest, who was a student at SUNY-Fredonia when I had my first college teaching jon, and to meet Cynthia Lawrence and other new Kentucky NATS colleagues.

Weekly YFS begins at UE

This morning I began weekly Yoga for Singers at the University of Evansville. Studying for midterms kept some students away but we had a lovely restorative flow. Maybe next week senior Kayla will bring her seeing-eye dog Oreo to join us in Up and Down Dog.
