The teaching of breathing for musicians and speakers often relies on images that sometimes refer to vague notions, which can lead to a conceptualized transmission. La Fabrique du son breaks free from this to offer a clear and accessible practical guide on the breathing at the origin of sound production.
Written by Catherine Foissac-Delvaux, licensed physiotherapist (D.E), osteopath (D.O.), graduate of the European Association of Arts-Music Medicine, and musician, this 100-page spiral-bound notebook illustrated in color is intended for wind instrument musicians, singers, speakers, as well as anyone concerned with learning better breathing and ventilation.
Enriched with charming sketches and drawings in a humorous tone, it provides simple anatomical and physiological keys to understand the most effective breathing for expression. Supported by refined graphics and precise vocabulary, La Fabrique du son strives to explore the diaphragm muscle at the heart of sound production.
Through a series of practical exercises to be adapted to one’s needs and desired results, this work gathers everything an artist needs to enhance their performance as well as essential tools for everyone.
