6 Steps For Healthy Song Learning - Step 4: Say “Ah!”

After going through our new song selection on a buzz or hum, we should have established a good foundation for our breath management throughout each phrase of the song. The next step is to sing the melody on a single open vowel sound like ah [a] or oh [o]. The goal is to continue the same breath support we used for the buzz but now we can focus on the space we need in the mouth throughout the song. Singing on an open vowel can help make sure we are learning the song with relaxed jaw and tongue.
