Mike:.with so little feel for
the most crucial muscles at work in the larynx, i believe it is a daunting
task to relate function to execution for the sake of developing a new skill.
instead, i prefer to take things a student can already do with their voice
(which are usually things that are not, at first, associated with singing)
and alter these actions until they are usable in singing.
we know many teachers and singers will relate everyday sounds to
singing (yawning, door squeaks, etc.). what i haven't seen, on the part of
voice scientists, is a study of these ordinary, everyday sounds as they
relate to singing. with this type of information, i believe it would be
far
easier to implement objective knowledge in the teaching of voice.<
That's another example of a top-down strategy in singing lessons.
