Our next exercise will stretch the back of the throat and the larynx. As we talked about earlier, the larynx is right around here. What's really important when you sing, is that the muscles in the back of your throat get strengthened. Now remember you want to feel like you may be swallowing an egg as you open up the back of your throat. Or right when you, you know at the beginning of a yawn. Jeff's going to do an exercise now where he's going to start at the bottom and then he's going to go up five notes and come back down. Ah A Ah. Ooh. Ah A Ah. Ooh. Ah A Ah. Ooh. Ah A Ah. Ooh. Ah A Ah. Ooh. Good. Notice that Jeff's throat stays open in the back and that we don't go too far again. We go slightly up, slightly down. You don't want to do this exercise too much. You want to do it just for a couple of minutes to stretch the back of the throat. When you start working out the instrument too much, you risk over tiring it. And then you're defeating the purpose of learning the exercise.
