Bordogni - Melodious Etudes #1

These simple etudes are songs without words. Written by Marco Bordogni as vocal exercises for his students they give us an opportunity to imitate a beautiful singing voice in what is called bel canto style. I find it very helpful to actually sing these first (where my vocal skills permit) and also to use them for mouthpiece buzzing practice. These songs give me a chance to develop a sense of line, shape, direction, pacing and to let my natural voice come through. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
