Practice

Initial position

Engage in this breathing gymnastics in a standing position, sitting, you can and lying( for those who can not get up), while it is important to keep your head and back straight.

To begin the lesson is best with a warm-up, which can also be used as a separate gymnastics:

Technology

1. We take a full breath in through the nose for 3 to 5 seconds, first we inflate the ball like a stomach, then continue to inhale the chest, expandingher and increasing in volume.
2. Exhalation through the mouth is prolonged, longer than the inspiration in 2 - 3 times, can be accompanied by a whispering of the long syllable "Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah."For example, if the breath was 3 seconds, then exhale, or "Ha-ah-ah-ah" 6-9 seconds, etc.

We repeat this 5 - 10 times.

• Next: inhale as well, and exhale, same smooth and lasting, but through tightly compressed lips: from the lungs, the air is expelled as if by itself, but at the same time, with the help of light tension of the muscles of the chest.

We repeat 5 - 10 times.

Sound component

The same, the main sound gymnastics, leaving the warm-up, repeats it with only one difference: on exhalation, instead of whispering the syllable "Ha" we are already singing the sounds of the letters of our native Russian language:

1. Group of vowels:u, u, u, u, u.
2. Consonant sounds: ж, з, р, с, ф, ш, щ.
3. Separate sound: guttural NG, as in the word "Ganges".After inhaling through the nose, exhaling, when singing this sound, also occurs through the nose, the mouth is closed, and the tip of the tongue touches the sky.

Note

At the beginning of the session, sounds are pronounced within 5 to 7 seconds, then they reach up to 20 seconds or more, this improves and fixes the skill of smoothness and the duration of exhalation. With every repetition, try to achieve the beauty and purity of the sound you sing, its strength, intensity and duration. Sounds should be sung with pleasure, from the heart, enjoying yourself and the sound you sing, as if dissolving in it, becoming this sound, merging with it. Enjoy vibrating your vocal cords and chest.

The number of repetitions of each sound is determined for yourself, it can be 1 - 2 times or more, at your discretion. The main thing is that these 10 - 15 minutes of gymnastics were for you a joy.
