Bel Canto

Because I have nothing better to do...

Ok, you can stop laughing now.

Because ever since I took that opera course, I've been exploring my own musicality and musical interests, I've decided to try some singing lessons. I enjoy singing, and particularly am interested in operatic singing.

As fortune had it, I spotted a classified ad in the Georgia Straight for Gary Zeller, who teaches Bel Canto, which literally translated is Italian for "beautiful singing" in the operatic style. Since the kinds of things I like singing best are parts of the repertoire of the Comedian Harmonists, Ensemble Six, and various opera arias, I thought I would try it out.

The best part is the lessons are reasonably priced, and Gary lives withing a short walk from my house.

I'll post more next week after my first lesson.
