The diaphragm is not a strictly involuntary muscle, I'll give you that. But we don't exactly have control over it, and I hate it when I hear people who instruct a student to try to control it. It leads to them doing odd things with abdominal, chest, back and shoulder muscles. I also hate the idea that you should think of your belly button going out towards your back which I've heard far too often. I mean, what is that? What is it supposed to achieve?!

A quick Google search brings up this extremely illuminating post:

I think that's one to email your students!
