Re: air support revisited

I ignored the parts of the initial post that didn't quite line up with my definitions of things. Flexion means contraction. If you contract any muscle in the abdominal area other than the diaphragm, you will get a smaller cavity. Also, the abdominals as I see them, will help you do sit-ups, but it is the muscles between the ribs that cause the balancing refered to in Ken's post.

And lastly, though I may have already crossed the line of good taste several posts ago, I thought I may throw out a comment by a prominent conservatory instructor who said (and not that tongue-in-cheek), "Your best rehearsal will be the one in which you 5hit on yourself."

I don't fully agree with that, but it gets to the point of breath support.
