let's think about this for a minute...


I was sitting in masterclass on monday afternoon, and I zoned out and started thinking about 'the voice'.
As an instrument, there isn't really a true model of how it works. Every other instrument involves some kind of mechanics, maneuvered by one's hands, or feet (via pedals), etc.
The voice is created by the movement of 2 delicate membranes in the larynx, moved by air...the body is the resonator.

It's a very natural action or movement, but as a musician, it's kind of tricky when you try and compare your learning the voice to a brass player's learning the trumpet or trombone...

Hmmm.

Singers unite...eeeeeeeeeee...
