I'm just getting back into my singing again now, but i'm finding i'm having trouble with octave jumps (G to the G an octave above etc in pieces of music). I feel like the first note is too 'heavy' (for want of a better word) and it makes the second note an octave higher difficult to get. The first note sounds so stable it makes the jump sound odd. (I'm not sure i'm making this too clear
) Do I need to make the first note 'lighter' somehow? This is especially annoying when the piece demands a 'floating'-sounding top note. Any ideas for exercises I can get on with until I manage to get to see my singing teacher?
