Summary:

The 19th-century Italian singing teacher Giovanni Battista Lamperti wrote the following about the primary requirement for the singer: ""'Know thyself' applies to [the] singer more than to other professions, because to sing well, body, soul and mind are tuned together."" This tuning together of body, mind, and soul is the essence of yoga. The practices of yoga can be used as tools to develop, maintain, and greatly enhance the art of singing in all its facets - physical technique, breath control, mental focus, musical flow, expressive communication, and radiant performance.
