      Hi, wow someone else is really interested in singing!! I love it!! 🙂
      I do lots of singing and Science is important in understanding this.

      For example, you may have been taught about breathing properly and controlling your voice – this is to do with breathing very deeply, filling the whole chest space and being able to control a slow exhale whilst singing. This all comes from an understanding of human anatomy.

      Also if you do stretches before warming up this can increase oxygen to the muscles you might be using whilst singing and help them to work better.

      Keep up the singing! Did you know that it is associated with good health? Scientists have shown that singing is associated with lower blood pressure, lower stress hormones, lower heart rate!
