It's time to record "Simsonic ping" and Synchronised Breathing for posterity.....!!
Having witnessed the demonstration of breathing exercises I've developed over a period of years as the means of surviving severe lung damage sustained in a fire accident, by a couple of senior amateur tenors, who have attended a few breathing sessions and have put videos on You Tube, without any consultation with me, their version of what they think I intend to achieve by synchronisation in two of the most complex physiological functions of my breathing routine. To say they make 'a pigs ear' of each one would be an understatement - it is obvious to all my experienced professional singers that they haven't a clue as to how the simplest move is executed, and their efforts could result in physical injury to the general public - scary to think that a osteopath, Peter Saunders, one of the ill -advised, self styled breathing guru's - has no professional integrity or common sense! My breathing routine is not a primary school P.T. workout, but much more spiritually conceived. The original embarrassing video on You Tube was removed, but another is now on view - on the pretext that it will be of benefit to a wider audience, especially opera singers.....hmmm, not if anyone tries to emulate these guys who are not physically co-ordinated, and old enough to know better !! True, many very fine creative artists are enjoying success worldwide in professional music and theatre circles using this breathing method - but they have all studied my "Art of Breathing" for years, and none of them has attempted to explain the process 'on line'.... Methinks the time has come for Rosalind Plowright, one of my most brilliant breathers, and I to put the whole routine on to d.v.d., I continue writing my promised book, and publish "Anna's Breathing Bible" as one of my extremely inspirational singers has named it ...A friend has taken me to task and told me that "your breathing must live on after you, this should be your life project'.....and so it shall be.... I promise...don't forget Dear Reader.....k..p b.......g ....
