Dear Colin and List:

I don't know if it's the Albany area in particular, but many of my young
students have asthma and associated breathing challenges. Would you share
your warm-up routine with me? I don't know enough about asthma to really
know whether my breathing exercises are asking too much or not enough of my
stduents with asthma.

Thank you,

Laura

(SNIP)Being asthmatic the part that I must
concentrate on longest is my upper chest. Many of my warm up exercises
are to relax this, and allow my intercostals to work in a freer
fashion. The cords may be warmed up, but if everything else is cold you
won't sing well at all."
