Your method is not as homespun as you may think! In one of the most recent issues of the NATS Jounral of Singing, there was the SECOND article about the benefits of using an ordinary drinking straw to practice good phonation. (Can't find my copy -- can anyone help with this reference?) This is one of my favorite teaching tools, in private lessons, choruses and speech class. It helps them understand support like nothing else I know of.
