It is most likely way too much breath pressure for singing, but I was interested in getting one for myself and trying it again, with the possibility of using it for my students who don't use nearly enough breath energy. >>
That sounds much like the device I was given to work with after I had intestinal surgery. It was to strengthen my chopped up stomach muscles and get the respiratory system operating again. It's very efficient.
