Breathe at the Right Spot

When we sing or say a poem, we need air! The best place to breathe is at the end of a line.

Try: 'Row, row, row your boat' (breathe) 'gently down the stream.

' If you breathed after 'row your,' it would sound broken.

Taking a breath at the end of a line keeps the words in tidy groups and makes your voice sound strong.
