27th February 2015, Singing Presentations.

In this lesson we were given the task of presenting a small presentation in groups of five about the voice. We had to include some information about the 'Larynx', 'Dyaphgm', 'Lungs' and warms ups that can help your singing. We started off our presentation with a diagram which identifys the different parts of the body that are involved in singing and speach. 

This is the diagram that we made:

We had a powerpoint prepared that went into detail about all of the parts. Such as that the Larynx is oftern known as the voice box and is involved in prosesses like breathing, sounds from the mouth. The Larynx is placed there mainly to stop food and liquid as you swallow, from going into the lungs, as you breahte in it opens up to let air in. The Diafragm is a sheet of muscle under the lungs, and contracts and exspands as you breathe, to let more air into the lungs, in order to let you hold longer, bigger notes when singing. To make our presentation interactive we did a demonstration of a vocal exercise to help breathe control, we made everyone hold a note, on a short breathe, then repeated this but with a deep breathe at the start, we evaluated the difference in length that we could hold the notes by havong a deeper breahte.
