Voice/Breathing/Speech Lessons
by Paul Kroeger 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

Paul Kroeger continues to offer voice and breathing lessons to advanced singers as well as to those less-advanced. The old saying: " If you don't breathe, you don't sing" can be understood at, say, a casual level, but there is a much deeper meaning to that, too. And it applies to speech mode as well. If you are still running out of air during certain phrases, come and see me. If you are beginning to run short of air because you are getting older or THINK that is why, come and see me. If you are still not able to get ALL of your breath during the "Catch" breath, come and see me. Most of us are holding our breath MOST of the time and think we aren't; that also reduces your range. You lose your high notes first, you know! Most of what limits us is due to what we don't know about breathing. Give me a chance to help you make improvements. Respond to this email or call me at 216-741-4762 and leave a message. Former students: try me; I no longer teach the way I once did.
