Honestly, although I have read Miller and Vennard and do have a very good
idea of physics and acoustics, the one misconception I'd held for
years was that the front wall of the abdomen needed to remain steady
in appoggio, rather than the side walls. When I watched him breathe
and work with people on keeping the sides steady and readjusted my way
of thinking, everything else became easier, especially movement over
passagio points.
Other than that, what Sharon said about cameraderie and a whole week
of focusing on nothing but beautiful singing was also fantastic. :)
