• Do you run out of breath too quickly so that you can't sustain your notes or phrases properly?

• Do you find you can't fill up with breath quickly enough between lines?

• Are you breathing too shallowly and you don't know how to fix that?

• Do you want to get absolutely clear on how to 'breathe with the diaphragm'?

Are these breathing issues detracting from your enjoyment of singing and making it a bit of a battle? Or is it disappointing and frustrating not to be able to just sing with ease and flow?

Well, I know how you feel. I've been there myself. But , there's no need to struggle any longer with these problems. There's no doubt about it, Breathing for Singing is actually quite an art, but the good news is I can help you activate it fully, easily and correctly with my tried- and -tested methods.

I'm Selena Mara and I have been studying, working with, and practicing highly respected approaches to the art of breathing for singing since the year 2000. I have been teaching singers of all levels to re-activate their breathing in the optimum way for great singing, for 7 years now, and I have many clients who have been delighted by the transformations I have helped them achieve.

• Know what's natural and what's not-so-natural in Breathing for Singing;

• Have experienced, and know how to activate, the correct, natural way to breathe in, so you can always replenish your breath easily, fully, and at the right moments in a song;

• Have experienced, and know how to, sustain your breath for the full length of notes and phrases, so your singing keeps its strength going all the way.

• Know how to breathe well, in a way that serves your health, and recognise what exactly was hindering you before;

• Be able to step into the spacious posture that is so critical to enabling your optimum breathing pattern.

• Understand this business of 'breathing with the diaphragm'.

• Know how to allow your breathing to beautifully serve your singing, and facilitate greater vocal power, ease and freedom than ever before.

We'll be creating a fun and energising experience, involving movement,  singing, a selection of enjoyable but powerful exercises; feedback and guidance, posture work, all in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

You'll learn, experience and implement the breathing techniques; and you'll encounter transformations in each session, which will grow as you put the methods into practice over the 4 weeks.

Will it work for me?

You can trust that this will work for you since it is based on current scientific anatomy and a holistic approach, and NOT on archaic and counterproductive vocal training methods ( which are all too prevalent in books and on the internet).

When and where is it?

The course will take place at The Singing Space at my home in Dartington, Devon; OR via video call from the comfort of your home. It consists of  4 x 1 hour-long sessions, scheduled at times that are mutually convenient to you and me. Weekly intervals are ideal, but fortnightly is ok too.

So, don't stay mired in poor breathing, running out of breath before your phrase finishes or noisily gasping for a top-up breath at an unsuitable moment; Don't live with a shallow breathing habit, it doesn't have to be that way!

Come and have fun and fix this once and for all, so your singing can be smooth and easily flowing, supported by your breath rather than battling with it.

I look forward to meeting you!
