Her er, på engelsk, nogle notater jeg skrev til mine online elever.

Breathing Exercizes.
To make a sound, you need air. We use the air we exhale
to make the vocal cords vibrate, when making sounds.
The first problem you might ask is: - how much air?
the golden rule is: as little air as possible.
It shouldn't be a chore to sing, you
don't need to exert yourself to the point of blood, sweat
and tears. That means, you need to blow just the right amount
of air through your vocal cords to create a relaxed tone.

A good place to start, is with some breathing exercises
which move the everyday, stressful and shallow breathing
to a deeper place like the abdominal region of your stomach
and away from the chest/shoulders area.
A good deep breath should be like an inner-tube all the way
around your stomach and lower back.
To sing with just the right amount of air to create a
beautiful tone is called controlled breathing. The abdomen
is the place above your stomach and just beneath your chest
area. If you place 2 fingers there and cough, you can
feel your abdomen muscles pushing out and almost becoming hard.
At the same time, your ribs expand outwards.

Try lying on your back on the floor with your knees bent
and feet flat on the floor.
Exercise One
Put a big book right under your belly button.
Breath in and focus on the book.
A deep breath will make the book rise and when
breathing out, fall back in place. That is where
deep breathing takes place.
Now, to make sure you are using your stomach muscles
and not your back muscles (which are constantly under
strain)- feel under the small of your back.
In a normal relaxed situation, you should be able
to stick a hand under and feel a "hole" between your
lower back and the floor.
Now try and push the small of your back towards the floor
so that there's no room for your hand.
Notice that it is your stomach muscles that are
holding the small of your back against the floor
and not your back muscles!
This will tone up your lower stomach muscles.
It will also remind you where a deep breath is placed.


Now I'm going to take you through the whole exercise.
1. Lay on your back, knees bent and slightly spread apart.
2. Take a deep breath and feel the book rise up.
3. Hold your breath for a second,
4. Push the small of your back against the floor.
5. Then slightly lift your head, so that you can see
between your knees.
6. Exhale, slowly using the sound Pssst.......
7. Try counting slowly to 25 while exhaling.

When singing, you need to inhale faster than
exhale - Why? because you don't have much time
for a long deep breath when singing - you have just
a split second to breath, before the next long phrase.
Therefore: inhale on 5 counts and exhale on 25 counts.
Easy - yes???
Repeat exercise 5 times.
(note) I know and you know that breathing is an
automatic function, but our breathing can become
very shallow through bad habits and stress.
That's why we should do these exercises daily for a
week or so, and then put them away for a couple weeks.
Just to train and remind ourselves, that breathing
deep relieves stress and places our breathing the right
place!!!


I'll be placing my different singing instructions on different
pages - so you can link to the pages that interest you.
Some of the pages will include:
Resonance
Opening up to the high voice
Support
vowels and consonant placement
Building a bridge between the high and lower voice.
Articulation
jaw placement
and much more - so come back soon.
