What it teaches

Some vowels let the voice move more easily. Try three, at three easy heights. Tiny slurs, jaw still, never pushed.

oo, oh, ah. One on each note

Low to high. All in your comfortable range

Easy. If it tightens, sing softer

What you sing

  1. "oo", a little below your note.
  2. "oh", on your note.
  3. "ah", a little above.

Singing safely

Never force a wave or shake it from your jaw or throat: vibrato grows by itself from an easy note, sung softly.
