Hi @FrankLapalice!

I've not come across this piece before: I like it!

I don't know how much information is out there for free viewing, but I'd really encourage you to sign up for the course. The cost is no more than probably 4-6 lessons with a singing teacher, for which you get a year's access, and hundreds of hours of instruction. More importantly, it means we can then provide you with advice directed at the exercises, to help you improve.

There's opportunities to work on your support, pitch, going into the passagio, and vowel modifications for starters.

Remember: Ken's training is based on Bel Canto, which is the classical method of singing, and would be perfect for this style of music. Certainly I'm planning to include this type of song in my repertoire!

Hope we can welcome you on board!

Good advice, @charlie_v

As far as the piece, practice it with only the vowels, no consonants until you have the melody down cold. Then make sure you're singing all vowels correctly then go from there.
