The Correct Way of Breathing and Singing
Today our Conductor taught
us
To breathe
correctly:
We should breathe with our
diaphragms right below our rib cages, not with our lungs.
When breathe in the diaphragm
should be expanded while breathe out the diaphragm should be shrunk.
To stand properly while
singing:
The standing posture: one
foot is a little bit in front of the other with 2 feet shoulder width apart.
Knees are not locked. Arms hang down loosely in a relaxing way.
Our Assistant Conductor,
Milton Liu, taught us
How to hold the breath as
long as possible.
He also practiced singing
with a forward tone for us by imagining the sound travels to the target on
the blackboard with a hyperbolical path.
So, many volunteers came
to the front and gave their talent shows.
Everybody recited a poem
first and then sang a few verses of a song.
After that our Conductor
gave very helpful advice to correct their way of speaking and singing.
Our conductor said that
singing actually is the extension of speaking.
Therefore, we are supposed
to have same tones in singing and speaking but with different pitches in
singing.
