Stability balls are effective in the choral classroom for helping students to develop good posture and breathing. In order to sit on the ball, one must sit up straight and use their core muscles to balance. This use of the core also helps students with their breath control and tone production. Students with the wiggles will love these stability balls! Stability balls helps optimize student attention by allowing them to bounce, shift, and adjust when their body needs it. This will help students focus because movement helps to increase circulation of oxygen to the brain.
