martti,

i'd be curious to know at what pitch your larynx rides up. does it
ride up at the beginning of singing regardless of pitch? does it ride up
gradually as you increase pitch or, does it suddenly jump up at a certain
pitch?

how do you know your larynx being high is a problem? there are various
schools of thought on the subject. although, i find the more i know about
sls the more i like it, the estill aproach says a higher larynx is a must for
higher notes.

the problem with methods, including sls, is they tend to try to have an
explaination for everything that becomes a standard. what you feel while
saying or singing 'mmmmmmmmmmm' is of little consequence. it is what you do
that is important. your perceptions of what happens is going to be in
relation to your personal experiences. for example: broccoli is broccoli
whether one person says it tastes clean and fresh and another says it tastes
like wood.

if you decide that your raising larynx is bad, i would suggest you
figure out when and, more importantly, why it raises (or, more to the point,
why you raise it). it could simply be a misconception on your part.

mike
