When we elicit pitch we shouldn't be trying to control the outcome. " the singer's only protection against failure is thorough preparation." We have to relax the muscles in order to elicit pitch, the larynx must be low in a relaxed position. Start making the sound in descending scales, this helps the sound remain free ad the larynx low. Eventually you must learn how to sing ascending scales with the same freeness that you have with descending scales. Do not increase breath pressure when doing ascending scales. Let airflow do the work.
KEY CONCEPT: we can't force the outcome of our sound/pitch. You have to prepare and trust in you preparation without modifying what you do.
KEY CONNECTION: this is something I think about all the time, I feel like I try so hard to trust in what I have worked on in lessons, technique, etc. And most of the time I think I am doing it right, but then I end up finding out I was doing tons of things wrong.
