Vocal Strain Tuition:

During this session I was taught how to properly sing without forcing my throat into painful submission. My music teachers both instructed  me to open my mouth wider when singing and while inhaling, to gain as much breath as possible before singing. They demonstrated this by placing a clipboard on my stomach and tasked me with having to raise the board while breathing in as to ensure I breath in to a more suitable extent. This was vital as it helped me in my previous attempts at large interval leaps during certain performances.
