Breathing training in the vocal education system

Abstract

This article raises the problem of physiological aspects of vocal education. The author comes to the conclusion that in order to create sounds when singing, energy is needed, which is provided by a pulmonary wind tunnel. The breathing process involves inhaling and exhaling, where muscles fight resistance. Inhaling expands the chest, and exhaling compresses the ribs. When the oxygen level is insufficient, inhalation occurs. Air enters the lungs, being absorbed by the vessels. Exhalation occurs when the pressure in the lungs is higher than atmospheric. Breathing is important for the renewal of air and voice. Breathing exercises begin in the womb to strengthen the lungs. Respiratory diseases are a problem for premature babies. Breathing improves voice and vocal technique. Air flow regulation and proper use of abilities help to avoid injuries to the vocal cords. The inhalation is done through the expansion of the chest, the diaphragm is responsible for inhaling. Shallow inhalation restricts the use of the upper part of the lungs and prevents the production of sounds. Sharp sounds occur due to the tension of the neck and larynx. The control of the exhalation rate is important for a high-quality voice. It is important for the teacher to help the vocalist use a minimum of air to develop vocal abilities. At rest, exhalation is a passive movement. The chest and lungs return to position due to elasticity. When using a voice or a loud inhalation, the pressure increases and air enters the colon. With the right exercises, you can achieve a beautiful voice. The role of the teacher is to transfer knowledge about proper muscle contraction and the organization of respiratory mechanics. The mental and physical condition of a person affects breathing. It is recommended to use breathing as an element of therapy. A good breathing technique is essential for vocal mastery. It is necessary to pay attention to the breath and the body. It is recommended to use abdominal or costal-diaphragmatic breathing to achieve a satisfactory state of airflow and mobilization of sound volume.
