Being Alive

I chose this song for my singing class (Stagebridge) here in Oakland and I wanted something that would challenge me. I certainly got that! Sondheim isnt easy to sing because he has a tendency to change keys in the middle of a song but, I worked hard, learned the lyrics, felt the lyrics and was able to finally perform the song well enough to receive a standing ovation. But, I couldnt have done so without the music sheets I received from Music Notes. I was able to choose the proper key in which to sing, for the piano accompaniment and the full set of lyrics. Amazing!

Get it! Know your key.

So it is the full song from the show, so it modulates half way through. If you want a solo version, this is probably not the best way to go unless you are sure of your keys, otherwise, good version.
