AH: IF ONLY WE WERE CHILDREN AGAIN. IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, MOST CHILDREN WILL MOVE FROM BELLY LAUGHS TO SCREAMS, TO TEARS, TO YAWNS AND BACK TO BELLY LAUGHS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ADULT SINGERS MUST MIRROR AS THE MUSICAL DYNAMICS SHIFT. AND, IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BREATH AND HOLDING TENSION.
HOW IS IT THAT TODDLERS CAN UNCONSCIOUSLY MAKE THESE SHIFTS AND NOT HOLD TENSION IN THEIR BODIES?
TODDLERS RELEASE TENSION IN THEIR BODIES AS THEY EXERT THEMSELVES. AS A RESULT THEIR DIAPHRAGMS ARE FREE, STRONG, AND RISE HIGHER IN THEIR RIBCAGES THAN ADULTS. THIS FREE DIAPHRAGM ALLOWS PRESCHOOLERS TO RECOVER FROM STRESS MORE EASILY AND PROMOTES MORE OXYGEN IN THE BLOODSTREAM SO THEIR VOICES ARE MORE RESONANT AND CAN PIERCE OUR CALM.
