and smallest portion of the lungs

8.    the sideward expansion of the lower rib cage and release of abdominal muscles on inhalation and the controlled

release of air by way of maintaining rib expansion while contracting abdominal muscles on the exhalation

9.    the act of singing the text in a manner that allows the listener to hear every aspect of the text clearly and to

understand the context through appropriately stressing of particular syllables

12.  the component of articulation that creates language by clarifying words beyond the mere tone and musical line

13.  the component of articulation that carries the singer’s tone and musical line and affects the perception of timbre

14.  the fifth — non-physiological —system that allows singers to make sounds worthy of the performance by which

the singer brings their personality and psyche into the creation of vocal sounds

18.  the occurrence of two consecutive vowel sounds in one syllable

19.  the pair of muscles between the ribs that coordinate to control the inhalation and exhalation process by expanding and contracting the ribs

20.  the place or passage where the registers naturally shift from heavier to lighter or lighter to heavier

21.  the result of engaging the following in exquisite balance: breath, phonation, resonance, articulation, and psyche

22.  the term referring to vocal registration that uses a less muscular approach to the phonation process, allowing the

vocal folds to be thinner for the production of higher notes

23.  tone color, affected by the manipulation of resonance space and resonators, combined with breath and manner of phonation

(1 point each) (16 points total)

The following questions speak to how practice is related to developing consistent vocal technique…

True or False?      25. Warmups and vocalises can help focus the singer on fundamental technique, which can then be applied to the repertoire.

True or False?      26. Singing straight through the song, especially near the beginning of the learning process, will aid the singer in building strong technique.

True or False?      27. Isolating the challenging section, exploring vocal technique toward successful execution of that challenging section, drilling that section with that technique, and then putting the challenging section back into context will likely make the singer more successful.

True or False?      28. When starting to learn a song, make sure you sing the text with the notes and rhythms, so that you learn the flow of the song from the very beginning.

True or False?      29. It is better to practice fewer days a week and more hours on those days than to practice more days in that week and fewer hours on those days.

The following questions speak to breathing as it pertains to singing…

True or False?      30. Two phrases happen right after each other. In order to breathe between phrases, the singer should borrow time from the end of the first phrase in order to keep the beginning of the next phrase in time.

True or False?      31. You should plan where you will breathe before you start practicing your song and then practice breathing in those spots consistently, so that they become a part of your muscle memory.

True or False?      32. It is a good idea to have extra breaths planned in case you get nervous and start running out of breath in a performance.

True or False?       33. It is okay to breathe in the middle of the word, as long as you do it with confidence.

True or False?       34. The two purposes of the singer’s respiration are to control the inhalation and exhalation process and to imagine, create, and relax into the articulation and resonance space necessary for beautiful tone and “ring” in the voice.

True or False?       35. Under the pressure of performance, your breathing will work better, so you can plan on taking breaths less often.

The following are ways to ensure beautiful tone in singing…

True or False?       36. …allowing the soft palate to rise, along with the back of the tongue.

True or False?       37. …clarifying the consonant with the tip of the tongue.

True or False?       38. …rounding and protruding the lips.

True or False?       39. …opening the oropharynx and creating space between the upper and lower teeth.

True or False?       40. …expanding the ribs on the inhalation.
