Continuing my series on relating 'Sound to the Anatomy' when training. I'm dealing with Pitch this week.
1. Generally, the #pitch of a note relates to the anatomy in 2 ways: The position of the Larynx in the Throat & The Air Pressure in the Thorax.
2. For example, you can see the #Larynx rising in the Throat as the #pitch rises by using a siren, and lowering as the #pitch lowers.
3. 2 very general rules: 1.The Larynx is higher in the throat on high notes & lower on low notes & 2. Higher notes require greater air pressure.
4. If a singer has trouble attaining high notes, it may be that the larynx is not sufficiently high &/or there is not sufficient air pressure.
5. A discrepancy in the air pressure normally means the Breath Support System is not working hard enough. Note: The importance of Support!
