MONSERRAT CABALLE _: MASTER CLASSE ------- POR RITA AMODEI .

**** *** +++++ ++++++ The great Montserat Caballé demonstrates the proper breathing coordination for singing in the end of the video. Notice that she has the students lay on their backs and breathe in while lifting the weight up and keeping it there. That is to try and engage the inspiratory muscles and keep them engaged the whole time they are singing. As Rosa Ponselle stated, "Always push out with the stomach and abdomen during the whole phrase, *not* in." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
