A tenor (of course) with a geeky love for music theory and analysis, I started this blog three years ago to try and bridge the gap between vocal performing and theoretical analysis by showing that the two are simply not as different as one might think. I hope you enjoy my insight into great works of vocal music, but more importantly I hope you add some great ideas to the discussion!
