EXERCISES FOR DEVELOPING THE BREATHING OF A FUTURE VOCALIST

Аннотация

The first exercise involves crossing your arms behind your head and pressing down on it to stretch the sternocleidomastoid process. The second exercise involves gradually bending your torso while exhaling, touching your head to the floor with your hands, and then slowly straightening it out. The third exercise involves stretching and yawning to relax your larynx. The fourth exercise involves controlling your breathing: inhale through your nose, hold your breath, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. After each exercise, the singer can feel the body relaxing and stress being relieved. The text also notes that relaxation is beneficial, but that it is necessary to avoid excessiverelaxation. The main goal of relaxationis to quickly relax and lower your heart rate to use your voice in favorable conditions. Then, two exercises are described to prepareyour abdominal muscles and develop your breathing. Kеywоrds:vocal education, physiology, anatomy, voice, breathing, singing, exercises. INTRОDUСTIОN Creating a specific breathing exercise system for prospective vocalists is important for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that singers start their vocal training on the right foot by establishing good habits and technique from the start. This eliminates the need for subsequent corrections or re-training, saving both time and effort. Secondly, a systematic approach to breathing exercises creates a structured foundation for vocalists to follow. This allows them to gradually progress and develop breath control over time, building a solid vocal foundation. The system can include a variety of exercises such as diaphragmatic breathing, breathing support exercises, and techniques for maintaining the flow of breath while singing. Additionally, a comprehensive breathing system for vocalists takes into account the uniqueness of each singer’s voice and provides customized exercises and recommendations. Every singer has different needs and challenges when it comes to breathing, andaone-size-fits-all approach maynot be effective. MАTЕRIАLSАND MЕTHОDS Breathing tables for singers were compiled by G.A. Alchevsky (Alchevsky, 2014). E.B. Kvernadze developed her own methodology for developing basic vocal breathing (Kvernadze, 2017), O.P. Leurda developed a methodology for setting vocal breathing (Leurda, 2019), N.V. Pavlova developed a methodology for developing breathing as a speech-voice instrument (Pavlova, 2021), N.G. Savina developed a vocal education methodology (Savina, 2014). The anatomical and physiological foundations of vocal performance are presented in the work of T.Yu. Vladimirova, L.A. Baryshevskaya and S.N.Chemidronov (Anatomy, 2018). The problems of vocal hygiene of singers were raised by M.M. Kizin (Kizin, 2021). In the works of O.G. Lobanova examines the problem of the relationship between correct breathing and singing (Lobanova, 2019), and O. Yu. Pererva (Pererva, 2019) and A. Yu. Nikulina (Nikulina, 2017) focus ontheissues of developing singing breathing during solo singing [1-6]. By tailoring exercises to the individual voice, singers can specifically address their specific weaknesses and improve their breathing control. Additionally, a well-designed breathing system can be integrated into an overall vocal training program, ensuring that breathing exercises are https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue3,2025 190 performed regularly and consistently. Consistency is key when it comes to developing any skill, andbreathing exercises are noexception. By incorporating breathing-focused exercises into daily vocal training, singers cangradually improvetheirbreathing control andmake ita natural part of theirsinging technique. On this basis, it can be said that the relevance of developing a breathing exercise system for a future vocalist is due to the fact that the development of the respiratory system for future vocalistsis ofparamount importance [2]. Breathing exercises increase lung capacity, improve pitch control, and allow for the expression of emotions. A systematic approach to breathing development ensures that singers start their training on the right track and will steadily progress over time. By tailoring exercises to individual voices and incorporating them into regular practice, singers can improve their vocal abilitiesand achieve impressiveperformances. Thus, creating a special system for breathing exercises is an important aspect of vocal training andshould beapriority for bothbeginnersingers and vocal coaches.

Those offered in the framework of this studydeserve tobe simpleand effective. 1. You need to cross your arms behind your head and press it down slightly but constantly; the chest should remain straight and the shoulders should be lowered. In about twenty seconds, you will be able to stretch one of the main auxiliary muscles, the sternocleidomastoid process. The
