Part 2/6:
The lesson commences with a warm-up, designed to get the students comfortable with making sounds. The instructor invites participants to find a cozy space and join in humming along to piano chords. The belief is that a relaxed state of mind is essential for effective vocal practice, and as they push through the warm-up, students gradually ease into the lesson, encouraged to engage their voices fully.
The Magical "Bubble" Exercise
The crux of effective singing often revolves around proper breath control, and the instructor emphasizes this with the “bubble” exercise. This technique addresses many vocal problems faced by beginners. It’s a simple yet unique method: blowing bubbles encourages students to manage their breath while maintaining a balanced vocal cord function.
