Where do you breath from when singing?

   Where do you take a breath from when singing? This is one of the very first questions I ask my students. Some answer their nose and others say their mouths. I always ask..... "why?" I get some great answers and some really interesting answers. To cut to the chase, the answer is YOUR MOUTH. The opening to your mouth is much larger than two little nostrils therefore, you can take in more air faster.
