phragm. A man on the football
field may be hit hard enough on the
chest (the lungs) to knock him
down, but it would not knock the
breath out of him; but, just short
arm him at the abiding place of the
diaphragm and he is out for five
minutes. He had the breath knocked
out of him, they tell you; vet the
blow did not hit his lungs at all
but it did hit the piston that moves
up and down, day and night, silently
inhaling and eXhaling. However the
muscle is strong and so resumes
normal activity.
Controller of Breath
The diaphragm then, we see, is
the controller of breath, but not the
storehouse of breath. The physical
activity in singing extends from the
collar bone circle down to the dia-
lragm. There should be no con-
scious physical activity above the
collar bone. We will call the dia-
phragm the bottom floor of the lung
box. 1t is a movable floor The
singer must learn to control it's
movements. When a deep breath is
taken in, the floor is flattened out.
This causes the expansion at the
waist line. When a tone is COM
menced the diaphragm's tendency is
to come up at its regular speed of
respirating so here is where the sing
er needs control, to make it rise in
accordance with whatever pressure
is needed against the lungs to eX-
pei the tone. AS the diaphragm
rises the waist line contracts.
Organ builders have discovered that
by using as much air pressure for a
soft the as for a big tone, that the
tone is purer and carries further.
This truth has been known to many
vocalists and teachers for q long
time. The muscles or border to
which the diaphragm is attached,
are really the controllers of the
breathing muscle, and it is in the
strengthening and firmer control of
these muscles that we control the
diaphragm.
Another thing-in learning to
breathe for singing-do not pull in
breath. Let the breath go ink
pand the body at the waist line,
keeping in mind the back muscles
and ribs, and breath will fill in all
the empty places. 1t is not how
much breath you take in, but how
much you control that counts. At
first you will feel some fatigue
around the waist line, Dut IL won
kill you. In a week you will begin
to feel the real breath support, and
my, what an appetite you'll have.
Breath control means voice control.
A beautiful phrase well expressed is
not possible without voice control.
Staccato exercises will assist Won
derfully in gaining breath control,
because staccato work employs and
the right muscles of the
body.
When the idea of diaphragmic
control is gained. there will be
feeling of ffrmness at the waist line:
a feeling of controlled lifting from
below against the lungs, furnishing
a firm steady stream of we'll con-
trolled breath; the tone will be even
and pure in quality, and from this
stage to the neXt-which means
automatically or uncon-
a very natural and easy
process. In the struggle to learn
there will be effort and overeffort,
but out of it all comes the physical
control that enables you to do what
the artistic mind commands.

WAR GIVES MUSIC
ADDED STRENGTH
Experiences of Battle Nav
Give Modern Composers
Inspiration

An interesting problem to consid-
er these times is the one as to
whether the close of the war will
have any effect on the subsequent
productions of the world. Previous
to the world struggle and right on
up to the present time, the criticism
against modern compositions was
the. one of mediocrity, that attention
was paid to form rather than to
meaning. This was the lament heard
everywhere. Modern music lacked
strength. lacked virility and power,
was weak and without backbone, and
consisted merely of a technicality
perfect grouping of melodies.
Music An Expression
Many, in finding excuses for this,
said that the fault lay not in the
music. primarily, but in the age in
Whlch 1T was being written. The
music was only an expression of the
nIe or the people. The ideals of the
world had changed. Industrial sue
cess, political prominence, economic
enterprise. had taken the place of the
spirit OF adventure, the love of ro-
nance and the desire for emotional
expression of former days. Efficiency
mad become the password of every
thing and was leaving it's mark on
the arts.
With the coming of the war, how
ever, the world with a bound, re-
yerted to the life of it's earlier years
CIVILIZATION was forgotten; human
endeavor was forgotten; and the ap-
parently extinct but long dormant
instincts of primeval self-preserva-
tion and self-defence were awakened
in the hearts of millions of men.
These things which before had form
ed part of the stories of adventure
in a boys life were now given to him
In grim reality. Adventure, ro-
nance, conquest, all were given him
in measure never before equalled.
What all this will mean to the
world of music, time will prove. But,
If the fault before lay in the dullness
of the life the composer saw about
him, he now has ample vividness of
colr and variety to make up for it.
There is q struggle, there is fear,
there is hope and ambition, there are
all the innumeFable ideals and emo
tons that have given inspiration to
his predecessors, and all in startling
magnitude. Our music needs new
strength and the war ought to prove
the channel from which that
strength will come
