Well, having attended a Miller workshop, I have to disagree. Now, when I
READ of appoggio, it sounded rigid to me. However, once I saw it in
practical application, it felt much freer and easier than what I had been
doing (pulling in on lower abs). I felt as though I had abandoned any
concept of pulling and pushing altogether, and my singing has improved,
particularly my releases. Consequently, my teaching changed and students who
had been doing okay suddenly blossomed.
