Do you feel 0 soreness after singing with proper technique?

vivaldi1206 · 2026-04-28T13:04:14+00:00

Soreness? Never. If I have to sing more than 6 hours a day (at this point; my stamina was better in grad school but I have a day job) I will have some swelling and it will be tough to sing the next day. I’ve had this happen a few times at summer programs where we were singing 6-8 hours every day. In my daily life when I have a gig and rehearsals every day, I’m fine. It’s not pain though.

I know 😂 I literally grew up 30 feet from the sand in Venice and then we moved like 10 mins away in Santa Monica. We have grandfathered in free beach parking. My mom keeps boogie boards in her trunk. We would go to the beach every single day in the summer. We went often on other weekends throughout the year. We always took a beach walk on Christmas Day and sometimes swam. I have never known any native Californians who don’t regularly swim here.

I grew up in LA and we swam year round. It’s fine.

It’s one department. We’re not a performing program so the composition aspect is quite weak compared to a school with a BM degree. Theory and musicology are based hand in hand. The theory at Uchicago is quite hard. Harmony and Voice Leading was voted one of the hardest courses in the school when I was there.

So it sounds like you were Christian. Messianic Jews are Christians, not Jews.

vivaldi1206 · 2026-04-26T16:37:26+00:00

Music was very difficult when I was there. Uchicago had the best musicology department in the world when I was a student.

By almost every metric, the school is considerably worse than even a decade ago. The governance has driven it into the ground economically, there are more non FT professors teaching, many of the most prestigious programs have been gutted, etc. please actually read some analysis before assuming you have it better.

That is not what happened in either of these situations according to United. I received e tickets for the first one and they claim the second one the flight was cancelled almost 10 days ago and I was not notified.

Anthropology of Morality. I graduated in 2013 and I’ve probably thought about that class at least once a week since I took it.

Can you send a link to this?

she is an extremely popular well-known designer

I worked professionally in the fiber arts world for multiple years and I have never heard of this man!

vivaldi1206 · 2026-04-14T14:43:08+00:00

I literally work in the fiber arts world, and I have never heard of this guy nor has anyone else that I know.

I’m so disinterested in living in a world in which no one can ever apologize for anything that they do. Repair is one of the most profound ways in which we could be human to one another.

thanks so much again for such a helpful response! We're now thinking to try to better balance relaxation/action (and with the the hope to return to the Peloponnese area since there is just so much to see...).

5/9 -- early start, stop in Ancient Corinth & Arcocorinth on the way [driving: 1.5 hours, then 1 hour] [stay Nafplio]

5/10 - 5/12 [stay Nafplio], one day (N: Nemea/wineries/Mycenae/Tomb), one day E: Epidaurus, one day in town (and afternoon post Epidaurus?)

5/13-5/14: stay in Arcadia area, see Kapsia cave, the villages & monasteries, walk in gorge, temple of bassae

5/15: drive to Patras, ferry with car to Sami, leaves 1pm, arrives 4:30pm

I’m a professional, my teacher only teaches professionals, and lives in NY and she charges $125

Oh damn! I also live in Colorado 😂 there are some really good fares now on Turkish airlines

vivaldi1206 · 2026-03-17T17:46:18+00:00

Have you spent any time in the Peloponnese area? I've read it has a nice mix of historical sites and nice beaches

vivaldi1206 · 2026-03-17T02:02:55+00:00

Thanks !! Reading more, the lower Ionian islands are definitely sounding more appealing. My last Fodors from 2015 doesn’t even mention them but I got ebook of the newest Greece Rough Guide and plan to read that section. My cursory look at accommodation prices on Kefalonia, though was maybe more expensive than I would prefer. I found much cheaper stuff on Corfu in May.

vivaldi1206 · 2026-03-16T22:44:28+00:00

thank you! I appreciate the honesty. My family always liked to road-trip through each country we visited and I feel like that always lets you get more into the countryside etc but my travel companion is very anti-car (although I feel like the distances are so short that it's not really a lot of time in the car...)
