METHODOLOGY OF CORRECT BREATHING AND ITS CORRECT USE IN THE ACADEMIC SINGING CLASS" AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSIC AND ART SCHOOL

Abstract

Singing has a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional growth and is strongly tied to the development of basic mental processes and physical processes. In this perspective, voice training with the goal of using the voice appropriately and efficiently is believed to be required in general music education, and breathing and vocal exercises have a particular importance for high and quality sound production in this process. With this in mind, the purpose of this study was to learn how Turkish music teachers felt about employing voice and breathing exercises while singing in contexts related to general music education.
