ANATOMY & FUNCTION
STUDENTS ARE INVITED TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE VOICE AND SURROUNDING ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES. THE EDUCATION PUTS INTO LAYMAN'S TERMS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VOICE, THE BODY, AND BREATH.
BREATH INTAKE
EXPLORING THE CURRENT QUALITY OF ONE'S BREATH IS KEY TO WARMING UP THE BODY AND VOICE. THROUGH VISUALIZATIONS AND KEEN AWARENESS, STUDENTS DEEPEN THEIR MIND-BODY RELATIONSHIP THROUGH BREATH.
ZONES OF PRESSURE
HEALTHY PHONATION OCCURS THROUGH PROPER MANAGEMENT OF BREATH PRESSURE IN RELATIONSHIP TO KEY ANATOMICAL REGIONS. STUDENTS WILL EXPLORE BREATH PRACTICES THROUGH EACH ZONE OF RESPIRATION.
PHONATION & MOVEMENT
THE PINNACLE LEARNING OBJECTIVE IN VOCAL WARM-UPS IS TO INTEGRATE PHONATION AND REFINED MOVEMENT PATTERNS WITH DYNAMIC BREATHING. IMPROVING THE MOVEMENT COMPETENCY BETWEEN EACH RESPIRATORY ZONE AND SUPPORTED BREATH PRESSURE ENSURES THE VOCAL FOLDS ARE AWAKE, PLIABLE, AND PRIMED FOR INJURY PREVENTION AND LONG-TERM VOCAL HEALTH.
