talcito,
I have had great success incorporating a “singing sound” into my playing. You may enjoy several threads that I posted at TH that provide suggestions to some specific books and CDs. The first post is called
Don’t Drop the Ashtray and discusses Italian Songs and Arias.
The second post was in a topic called
Most Beautiful Melody? and focuses on the Concones studies of Rochut.
I hope these ideas will help you with your project. It’s really fun to explore some new literature, and these sound models are just fantastic. You might also want to find some Renee Fleming and Jussi Bjorling CDs when your are listening to the Italian Songs and Arias.
In addition to Wilmer’s suggestion about the Kinkaidiana book, get the
Marcel Tabuteau Lesson’s CD. You will be amazed at how these “phrasing” ideas spring to life when you actually hear Tabuteau describe his “dancing numbers” and then demonstrates them on his oboe.
Thanks Wilmer for gently guiding me to these marvelous Philadelphia musicians!!
Good luck!
