Life in Shades of F-Major: On slowing down

>> Thursday, August 7, 2008

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Kay Dennison August 7, 2008 at 4:15 PM: I wish I could slow down.
Kathy Handyside August 9, 2008 at 2:33 PM: I just love this picture! Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and this picture tells everything about why I go into nature.

Nettl: I have a question. Is your blog called "Life in Shades of F-Major" because F-Major is your favorite key for singing? Just curious!
Lynette August 9, 2008 at 10:30 PM: There are a few reasons:

1. Yes, it is my favorite singing key. It rests well in my voice.

2. It's the key of Susanna's aria from Act IV of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro", 'Deh vieni non tardar'.

3. It's a very calming and soothing key.
Kathy Handyside August 10, 2008 at 6:42 PM: That's neat! When I took Ear Training 101 in music, I discovered that my best singing key is A-major. It's a very comfortable key for me, as I have such a short singing range.
