[musictlk] breathing and singing

[Linda Mentink]

Kelsey,

Bend over at the waste, and let your hands dangle in front of you. 
Breathe in that position until you know how it feels. Then, gradually 
straighten up, still breathing. When you're standing straight up, 
keep your shoulders dropped. Put one hand on your chest and the other 
on your abdomen. The chest should be fairly quiet, still; the abdomen 
should go out when you inhale and in when you exhale.
