YesterdayThe Beatles

“Yesterday,” which is considered a classic Western song.

I’ve performed it many times in a wind ensemble! Since the accompaniment is strings and relatively quiet, you’ll want to listen carefully so the rhythm doesn’t slip.

The song itself is a ballad with a relaxed tempo.

If you calmly follow the lyrics, the English pronunciation shouldn’t be difficult.

Rather than projecting too forcefully, focus on clear vowel sounds so your voice is picked up well by the mic and helps with scoring.

The more carefully you sing, the more your score should improve, so try not to overdo the arrangement!

While classically trained, Italy’s Giorgia Angiuli stands out in the techno scene.

Her appeal lies in a style rooted in melodic techno and house that also carries the songful sensibility of indie pop.

She launched her solo career in earnest in 2013, and her debut album “In A Pink Bubble,” released in 2018, is one of her signature works.

Her hallmark is a live performance in which she improvisationally mixes children’s toy instruments with her own voice.

Since 2013, she has been a resident at Florence’s renowned Tenax, and the skills she honed on the dance floor are nothing short of remarkable.

If you’re seeking dance music that’s organic and bursting with live energy—distinct from a conventional DJ set—you’ll surely be captivated.
