This foundational exercise strengthens coordination between the soft palate and tongue using the phrase “sinnnnngggggg-nga-nga-nga-nga-nga” on a descending 5–5–4–3–2–1 pattern. It builds awareness of nasal resonance, encourages soft palate lift, and promotes agile tongue articulation—great for singers working to clarify tone, improve diction, and develop smooth transitions in the middle to lower range.
