Hi, I'm new to the list and have been just reading quietly in the
background. I was very concerned about Matthew's email RE: Breathing
Techniques. As a singer teacher, I find it a shame that you have had such
disheartening experiences with singing teachers. Michelle had some great
suggestions for you to which I would like to add one. A couple of years ago
I attended a Master Class run by a Singing Teacher in conjunction with a
Kinesiologist (I think my spelling may be incorrect). This was an extremely
enlightening session for me and I began to realise what a HUGE part our
minds play in developing physical habits - performance anxiety habits for
example. Perhaps working with a Kinesiologist would help you to unlock some
of the blockages you have experienced whilst trying to develop sound
breathing techniques, and help you to develop the confidence to try again.

Kind regards,

Katrina
