-Voice lessons have not come up to my expectations of what they should be. I thought Professor Rosman's methods, goals, and repertoire would be predictable, conservative and stuffy. I didn't think those methods, goals and repertoire would be startling, different and thoroughly unconventional. I knew Rosman's methods were unusual at my first lesson when I first began taking them in September of 1990. I knew that when he asked me to pretend that I could only make grunts and that I had no control of my jaw muscles. Another time I knew his methods were unusual when I had to say "Unique New York" as I sang scales. At one lesson I even had to sing all my songs with "brr" as my only word. But Rosman's goals for me were not for all intents and purposes to make me sound like an opera singer. Rosman wanted me to enjoy singing. He taught this way due to the fact that he wanted me to learn good technique. Good technique included learning to support my voice with good air flow, and to sing the words as I would speak them. Because I wanted to sound like a torch singer with a big band, he didn't make me sing opera or art songs. In my opinion, however, the Italian and French songs he had me sing greatly helped to stretch my voice's range and build my repertoire. Voice lessons have thus not come up to my expectations by virtue of the fact that they were not what I expected, but unexpectedly fun.
