🔶We started bumping elbows, then moved to social distancing and thankfully finished the practical side of the “Buteyko Practitioner Training Course” before the lockdown curtain fell. Thank you Mim Beim and Patrick McKeown for your expert guidance and tuition. In these times more than ever “Breathe through your mouth as much as you eat through your nose” Pictured here with Mim. 🔶: 我们开始碰肘,然后转向社交疏散,幸好在封城之前前帷幕落,完成了“ Buteyko 从业人员培训课程”。感谢Mim Beim和Patrick McKeown提供的专家指导。“通过嘴呼吸和通过鼻子吃东西一样”与Mim的合照🔶

🔶Touching on some finer points of Diaphragmatic Breathing with my trusty lunch box during a lecture at the Australian institute of music. Understanding the Vagus nerve and the facets of the autonomic nervous system & how to work with rather than against them places you on the front foot in any performance situation. 🔶: 在澳大利亚音乐学院的一次演讲中,我利用我的午餐演示了一些有关隔膜呼吸的细节。了解维加斯神经和自主神经系统的各个方面并与之合作,而不是你身处表演环境时与之对抗🔶

Sing China 2017
The crew from the popular Chinese TV show “Sing!China” came to AIM Sydney recently and held their Overseas Director meetings for the contest, putting over 50 hopeful contestants through their paces over two days. “Sing!China” day 2 saw a select group of 22 work with Jason de Wilde (Head of Audio - AIM), who engineered the recording session at AIMs studios. David McLeod warmed up the singers. David is a Bi Linqual vocal coach at AIM and responsible for bringing “Sing! China” to the campus with the help of good friend Ming Tong.
Ming and David met at AIM whilst doing post graduate study 5 years ago and have collaborated on several projects since.
One of David’s students at AIM is YU, Huimeng Janet. Janet is form Beijing and iscurrently studying her bachelor degree majoring in voice with the contemporary department. Janet made it through to the recording session. We wish her good luck in the contest.
The whole operation was an exciting couple of days for AIM and ran very smoothly thanks to the organizational help Emily Shirley, Hannah Brouggy and Sophie Haylen along with AIM studio assistants Jessica Ford and Mingzhang Ai.
