Have you seen the Venus de Milo? She is very expressive, and she has no arms.

The time is once again approaching for conservatory auditions and juries, so I thought I'd share this video tutorial I recently posted to the Voice Studio Group on Musical Exchange with some essential guidelines for preparing art songs.
Young singers spend a great deal of time polishing their repertoire and technique, but it's also important for them to learn how to collaborate effectively with a pianist in performance and how to use movement and facial expression to enhance, rather than distract from, their musical delivery. In this video, pianist Eric Sedgwick, tenor Giovanni Pinto and I provide some tips.
Musical Exchange is Carnegie Hall's educational social media site. Our mission is to provide musical resources to young musicians aged 13 to 25 worldwide. If that's you, please sign up and participate! Registration is free, and you'll find lots of like-minded peers around the site. If not, please help me get the word out and encourage the young singers and instrumentalists in your life to join.
