reminder: Loose and sloppy speech does not mean a collapsed chest or slumping posture.
➢ TO DO 3.5 Dropping lower jaw, 1-5-4-3-2-1
This exercise is designed to persuade the lower jaw to drop—taking the tongue with it—as one
goes from a lower pitch to a higher pitch. Accept on faith, for the moment, the need for more
space in the mouth at higher frequencies (pitches) as one of the acoustic laws upon which good
functioning of the voice depends.
Note that this is the first TO DO exercise to use a particular pitch pattern with musical
notation. If you are not a music reader, but have access to a piano or guitar, Appendix IV (tucked

Not being heard across the classroom
Stan and Lara both spoke with
habitually closed mouths, although
neither of them actually locked their
jaws with tightly clenched muscles.
Mumbling through closed teeth,
however, they were both continually
asked to repeat themselves, even
when in a relatively small classroom.
During one term of a voice technique class, they each discovered
that they could, by paying attention,
actually open their mouths for
singing, and then everything went
better for speaking too. Listeners no
longer said “Huh?” to either one of
them every time they spoke.
Begin the exercise silently. From your TM joint, gently draw the fingers of both hands down
and slightly forward across the cheeks and lower jaw, persuading your jaw to drop with the
fingers. This gentle massage adds the weight of the hands to your mental intention. Then sing

from the groove or notch where it fits into the skull—the TM joint.
Appendix I at the back of this book.6
The TM joint will be mobile only if the muscles that attach the lower jaw to the skull are
elastic and not overly constricted. The most important means of enabling the lower jaw to drop
down is the force of gravity, and we want to be able to take advantage of that force. Return to
Figure 3.2a and identify on yourself the pairs of muscles that operate the lower jaw. The masseter and the underlying medial pterygoid work to close the jaw, as does the temporalis. There is
only one set of muscles that helps gravity lower the jaw. It is the lateral pterygoid, and it does its
work from a rather surprising horizontal position, lying across the cheek, almost perpendicular
to the vertical muscle pairs.
Sing: [A] ___________________________________________
Allow your hands to draw your jaw slightly downward just as the upward leap in pitch is made,
i.e., between the first and second notes. This exercise can be done with any vowel. Each vowel
retains its own individual interior shape and slightly increases in size for the higher pitch.
A friendly variation: Find a partner, place your finger tips lightly on the partner’s TM joint or
mandible (lower jaw bone), and have your partner do the same for you. Sing together the [A]

Get acquainted with these muscles that affect the freedom of the TM joint. Open and close your
mouth, saying “blah, blah, blah;” and as you “blah,” you should feel some movement at the TM
joint in front of each ear. Then clench your teeth and bite hard on your back molars, alternately
biting and releasing, and with your fingertips you will feel the large masseter muscles which lie
on the surface of the jaw bones. The clenching masseter muscles interfere with good vocal use if
they remain overly contracted. Now feel the temporalis muscles with your palms as you alternately
clench and release your teeth. If any of these pairs of jaw muscles is under a constant state of

Each can be a check to see if any movement takes place in the other’s TM joint. After making the
upward leap, allow the lower jaw and tongue to gradually return to their starting places as you
sing the descending notes of the exercise.
As a contrast, repeat the exercise, again with the [A] vowel and refuse to allow your jaw to
Grant and Amy are both professional
storytellers who use their singing
as well as speaking voices to mesmerize the audiences. In conversation, both speak habitually with
closed mouths, yet neither actually
locks the jaw shut. They each were
able to release the lower jaw with
easy guidance—but the habit said:
“Hold it tightly shut.” The challenge
was for them each to remember not
to constrict the jaw when there was
no external reminder.

Smoothing out a large “break” Rebecca, a composer of Jewish
liturgical music as well as a veteran
folk-music performer, came for
Alexander and voice lessons. She
brought with her a fear of unpredictable and “sticky” higher notes;
and she also had a noticeable discrepancy in tone quality between
the lower and higher parts of
her range. After a few months of
lessons, she learned to quit “overdriving” her singing voice—meaning
she quit using so much muscle
power with excess breath pressure.
(Interestingly, she spoke very softly).
She began to remember more consistently to open up her internal
vocal tract (throat and mouth), with
the result that higher notes came
more easily and didn’t seem so
high. With these technical skills as
a foundation—always within the
context of Alexander thinking—she
was able to sing a seamless scale
throughout a much wider range,
because she learned to let her vocal
folds find their natural adjustments
per pitch. Technical vocal work
without the companion Alexander
skills would not have been sufficient
to allow so much change in so short
a time.
Choose your own vowel or use the open-mouth hum.
If you look at the triangle image of TO DO 3.27 while singing an ascending full scale (musical
pattern 3.28a), you feed useful information into the larynx via the nervous system’s messengers.
Continue to watch the picture as you sing the descending scale, telling the vocal folds that they
must gradually become thicker and must relax into a state of less tension for the lower pitches.

3.26b, Scale degrees 1 and 8

Now apply the triangle picture to the arpeggio of pattern 3.28b, a vocalise that uses only the
four selected scale degrees—1, 3, 5 and 8. Sing any vowel or use the [ŋ] if you prefer.
The triangle image
  
To review: Every frequency between our highest and lowest notes requires a gradual shift in
the ratio between mass and tension. Greater mass means a thicker vertical dimension of the
vocal folds; and it may also mean greater horizontal depth from the glottis into the body
of the vocal fold. Less mass means that the vocal folds are thinned out by the fine-tuning
muscles within the larynx. These concepts led the Italian bel canto teachers to use the triangle as an image that could reinforce the thinking necessary for the desired vocal fold
adjustment.
Illustrated by Jaye Schlesinger

voice and the alexander technique
As you look at the two-dimensional image of the triangle, you will see the gradually thinnedout bands, which in this picture represent the gradually adjusting mass of the vocal folds. You can
adapt the triangle image for any vocalise pattern, simply by choosing the necessary scale degrees
out of the eight that are represented in the full picture of Figure 3.13.
The triangle image can usefully represent the element of mass of the vocal folds;
however, there is no representation of tension in this picture. It seems that merely thinking
(in the “mind’s ear”) the desired frequency is sufficient to set the proper tension for most
singers—one of the many miracles of music!

Ichthyo: The Architecture of Fish
BOOK DESIGN
2008
Originally created to preserve a record of scientific samples dating from the 19th
century, the National Museum of Natural History’s X-rays of its fish specimens
provide a glimpse into more than biological architecture. The radiographic
images convey a level of detail reminiscent of fine engravings and reveal the
hidden wonders of the creatures of the deep.
Format: 9.5 x 8”
Copublished by Chronicle and the Smithsonian Institution
$35.00 U.S.
When looking at nature close up, we
begin to see structures of unexpected
beauty.
ICHTHYO
Nowhere is this truer than in the X-rays created at the
Smithsonian Institution—home to the world’s largest
collection of ichthyological specimens. Originally created
to preserve the record of older fish specimens, and as
a way of studying the skeletal structure of life in the sea
without dissection, these black-and-white radiographic
images become extraordinary works of art in their
own right.
The complex and delicate bone structures exposed in
the fish X-rays convey a level of detail reminiscent of fine
engravings, and at the same time reveal the wonderful
biological architecture inherent in these creatures.
