Herein lies all of the notes I have taken in class and in recital hour/masterclass.
Pedagogy notes
19 January 2022
Appoggio
breath support, etc.
there are different points of support used depending
ideal mechanics for the abdominal region- pg 24
sternum stays high (find a moderately high position)
“a noble posture”
area between sternum and umbilicus expands laterally (don’t focus too much on this)
little to no sensation in pectorals
pg 28 - easy breath makes for longer singing. not big breath
whatever is most efficient for you is what works.

more breath support
take the kind of breath you need for the emotion of the phrase you’re about to sing
