[MusicTlk] VoiceBox Physiology For Blind Singer

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello Rick,
I know what you mean. My singing teacher has a tactile model of the
throat which can be taken apart. It's easy to understand how the
different parts work together when you can play with them, as it were.
Maybe you could get to a medical shop and brows? These products are
expensive bo buy. It may give you a better perspective.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
