 Re: chest breathing and hyperventilation in the upper register

I appreciate the fact that some of the metaphorical descriptions of breathing and the functions of the diaphragm can be helpful. But I also feel that a solid visual of exactly what is happening can be a bit more helpful........

Your body is no more sophisticated than this plastic bottle model. Your diaphragm does nothing more than the red balloon (it is a bell shaped muscle whose only job is to increase the volume of the chest cavity when it contracts). Your abdominal muscles can be thought of as the hand of the demonstrator as he helps push the red balloon even further into the bottle (squeezing even more out of the lungs). We use the diaphragm and abdominals in conjunction to regulate the FLOW of air when we play (or swim or whatever).



hope this helps
