There are so many thing to talk about in this journal, and some topics that we will return to numerous times is apoggio, bel canto, chiaroscuro and diaphragm. We will touch all of these topics through several videos, explanations and links, but I want to start out this journal with a series of 5 videos where the tenor Edward L. Johnson (1923-2008) discusses singing technique, what parts of the body we use (and don't use) for singing, how breathing works and how resonance works.
These short videos are a fantastic "introduction" to the mechanisms of singing. When I say "introduction", I don't mean to say that this is for beginners only. It was useful for me to see it, and it can be useful for many professional singers to see it. I call it an "introduction" because he covers a lot of topics and information in a very short time, and in an eminent way. It is clear, thought-through, understandable and clear.
Lets start here! These videos are highly recommended both for beginners and professionals, for students and for teachers!
