Patrice-Exercise 1- "mmm, ng, ah"

 "mmm, ng, ah"

This exercise is to help lift the soft pallet and open up a student's voice into that classical sound. Remaining on one note the entire time, have the begin humming. Slowly have the student move to a "ng" sound, opening the mouth. Then have the student open to a "ah", focusing on surrounding themselves with their sound. This practice should be slow and focused on the sound, no tempo is necessary. After the student finishes with the "ah", have them ascend by half steps.
