On my mind

Proper breath support and breath management is the true foundation for world-class singing.  Many singers who come to me state that breath is simply not talked about enough or at all in their voice lessons.  I like to use the term breath management which covers inhalation, exhalation, support, correct subglottic breath pressure to name a few.  You may think you take in enough air or that your support technique is good enough but I’d like to challenge you to think about this most important aspect of great singing in a different way.  Start thinking about breath support and consider how well you could explain it to a singer that came to you looking for expert advice.   Would you get tongue-tied?  Would you feel confident in your explanation without confusing the young singer?   See yourself as the teacher and give it a try.  More to come on this very important subject!
