Breathing

  • Breathe freely with control over longer phrases, developing an awareness of how the breathing mechanism works whilst maintaining a relaxed and balanced posture

Using vowel sounds, encourage learners to sing long notes whilst maintaining a full tone. This should help them to breathe freely, with control over longer phrases.

Care should be taken not to conserve the breath at the expense of tone.

Ask learners to practise ‘voicing’ exercises, gradually extending the length, e.g. using humming, or a continuous ‘sss’ sound.
