Week 2: Body Support

1. Singing is so healthy for your well-being. It stimulates your brain-centred pineal gland releasing happy endorphins into your bloodstream.
2. It is absolutely essential to know the difference between BREATHING & SUPPORT muscles. For example, we MUST not support with the Diaphragm!
3. 2 main elements of good POSTURE for Singing: 1. A Long Spine & 2. Breadth across the Upper Chest. Vital for the function of breath support.
4. Be clear on the action/purpose of your Diaphragm & the Muscles of Support. This is one of the biggest confusions in the Teaching of Singing!
5. Clarity of how Muscles function is paramount to healthy & good quality Singing. Know correct levels of EFFORT.
