Picture the note in your head as a wall you want to see over. Work your way up to it slowly, making sure you are well warmed up. The notes on the way up are steps, helping you to see over that wall.

I'm doing Mozart's Requiem in a months' time.... but soprano. That high Bb is starting to look scary! I can do it fine at home, but not in the choir.... Just nervous about not making it in public. Confidence is half the battle.

I suspect that Christina has has extensive vocal coaching and that is a quarter of the battle too.

Of course, picturing Dave Bryant in a dinner jacket and bow tie singing Berlioz makes it all pointless because I can't stop laughing at the image in my head!
