I remember reading an article of John Large's many years ago in the Journal of Research in Singing where he addressed the idea that singing requires both muscle (vocalis, cricothyroid, etc) and breath (ala Bernoulli). I like to think that a balanced approach is necessary. Seems like introducing moth these concepts at the beginning might be appropriate to avoid the "breathy" and "constipated" sounds. Just a thought... David Grogan ETBU Music Marshall, Texas ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 2:47 PM Subject: Re: [vocalist-temporary] Re: BREATH SUPPORT - Linda
Linda, I used to look at breathing first also, and lay people on the floor with books on their stomachs etc...............but heres the deal. What good is it to fill your tire up with air if there is a gaping hole in the tube? Same deal with singing. Adduction of the cords has to be addressed FIRST, and then you can accurately deal with breathing. Patch the hole and then fill with air............ Happy singing, The Voice Project Mary Beth Felker
