3 core principles for Singing relating to 3 specific areas of the body: 1. Breath Support System. 2. Making Sound & 3. Modifying Sound
1. The Voice shouldn't be turned on & off like a tap; it must be warmed up expertly in order to function well, as with wind instruments.
2. Singing is a physical activity involving the use of muscles. The singer is a vocal athlete. As in all sport, muscles have to be trained.
3. Effective Vocal Warm-up is totally dependent on getting the muscles of the body woken up before beginning to sing.
4. A grasp of vocal anatomy & an ability to impart that info to their students must be a fundamental requirement for ALL singing teachers.
5. Endless scales & arpeggios without a reason behind every warm-up exercise only serve to tire the voice. Know why you are doing an exercise!
