“There is nothing in the tone world so beautiful as the male or female head voice when properly produced, and there is nothing so excruciatingly distressing as the same voice when badly produced.”
Important advice for teachers of voice, with emphasis on the importance of registration as the bedrock of vocal training.
“The author is a teacher of singing in Chicago, and author of several books on the voice. This one was written to fill a demand for help by his pupils who are now themselves teaching.” -Quarterly Bulletin of the Providence Public Library, Volumes 16-17, January 1918

BIBLIOGRAPHY
“The ability to use the full power of the upper voice when occasion demands is necessary and right, but merely to be able to sing high and loud means nothing. All that is required for that is a strong physique and determination. Such voice building requires but little time and no musical sense whatsoever; but to be able to sing the upper register with power, emotional intensity, musical quality and ease, is the result of long and careful work under the ear of a teacher whose sense of tone quality is so refined that it will detect instantly the slightest degree of resistance and not allow it to continue.”
““It is the mentality of the individual, not the body that is musical or unmusical”

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intricacies of voice training, delving into the challenges and triumphs of developing a beautiful singing voice. The author, a passionate voice teacher, offers a unique perspective on the subject, drawing from years of experience and a deep understanding of the human voice. He challenges the prevailing notions of voice placement and argues for a more holistic approach that prioritizes the mental and musical aspects of singing. This approach resonates with the historical lineage of Italian bel canto, a revered tradition that emphasized the beauty of tone and a mastery of technique. However, the author presents a fresh perspective, suggesting that a true understanding of voice training begins with a refined musical ear and a focus on creating a clear tone concept, or mental picture, of the desired sound. This book dispels common misconceptions about the mechanics of voice production and offers practical advice for cultivating a rich, resonant, and expressive voice. The author emphasizes the importance of a free and relaxed throat, a crucial element in achieving effortless and beautiful vocal production. He also addresses the complexities of developing the head voice, the upper register that often poses the greatest challenge for singers, and provides a detailed methodology for achieving a full, vibrant, and flexible head voice. This insightful book offers a roadmap for singers and teachers alike, revealing the secrets to unlocking the full potential of the human voice.
