Sarah Gee SS Ch 3

 Breathing is essential to good singing, as well as, to life in general. As we do in speech, we should let our air come and go as it pleases. No holding or pushing. Smith does not like the use of the word support when referring to having constant, free flowing air.
Key Concepts:
Holding or pushing air is not allowed for good, natural breathing.
Key Words:
Free flowing air
Inhalation
Exhalation
Pooching
Proper alignment.
Release
Support
Connections:

When I just let my air come out singing with only a vowel my breath go a long way. When I hold on to air I just tend to strain my voice and not sustain the breath as long as I could before. I really need to work on having a constant free release of air. Especially on melismas.
