To Sing or To Breathe?

WHICH comes FIRST?

Singing is not all imagery-based vocal exercises. Body awareness is equally important if the student is going to be able to progress at a reasonable rate. To teach singing without first having the student understand their body as an instrument is to promote bad habits.

Imagery and standard vocal pedagogy techniques alone do not solve body issues with students. Most if not all need more specific techniques for body release apart from the techniques required for the act of singing.

The whole body is an instrument and the instrument has be properly tuned. When students can’t produce vibrato, have tongue tension that limits their progress, have body tension that sacrifices sound quality, etc. their teachers will tell me they are frustrated.

With the limited amount of time available in a lesson teachers must focus on the whole instrument as it applies to the music. Given good body release techniques your students’ singing will improve quickly, your reputation and results will be evident and your career will flourish.

Diaphragm training is one body awareness and development technique that works.

Will you be the huffing fan, or the crooner on the stage?
Diaphragm Target Training, or DTT, includes instruction and knowledge about tension release in areas of the body. Using these techniques we have been able to accelerate the singing success of thousands of students.

When the singer learns the proper release of the body and diaphragm training, apart from the act of singing, your application of good vocal instruction speeds up their progress geometrically. So, consider in your next lesson spending the first 15 minutes teaching your students body awareness.
