The big idea [in two parts] last Thursday was: Leaps require intensified support and a lowered jaw. What in the the world does intensified support mean? It simply means that flexible diaphragmatic pushes result in a pressurized breath flow [your text refers to this as the greater speed of the air or intensified air]. Will you sing the upper voice without a pressurized exhalative breath flow? No, it just won't happen.

Dropping the jaw is something that studio trained singers don't have to worry with to the same degree as the amateur choral singer. Why? Because the studio trained singer can create the needed space [opening] inside the mouth; however amateurs will need to think of space in a greater way in terms of dropping the jaw. Remember, failure to do this will result in a pushed sound or an out of tune sound. Mark your choral scores [p. 94] with circles, depending on the kind of jaw needed for the various vowels in the score. You can see as the range climbs, the circles are larger. Good class. See you this afternoon upstairs.
