Practical exercises
- Inhale, as explained above: push the air first towards the abdomen and then towards the chest. Try again holding the air on the abdominal muscles and counting to 20, then gently expel the air. Repeat 5-6 times.
- Inhale and then exhale making a hiss, as long as possible, and increase its intensity.
- Inhale, then exhale slowly (counting to 25). Repeat and gradually increase to 50.
- Hum with the mouth closed (on fifth intervals of a scale).
Please Note: Between inhaling and sound attack don’t hold the air. Only in the first exercise, you have to intentionally hold it to focus on air pushing.
