Book excerpt: The ground-breaking, comprehensively rational and scientific critical analysis of modern methods of singing instruction. Probably the single most useful book on singing ever written, this work is a critical analysis which exposes the shortcomings and failures of modern methods of singing instructions. Having done so, it then proceeds to elaborate on the superceded method, namely bel canto or the so called old Italian method. The author establishes the validity of the latter method by reference to the results it obtained. He convincingly argues that the decline in the quality of singers can be arrested only by a return to the bel canto method. A peculiar gap exists between the accepted theoretical basis of instruction in singing and the actual methods of vocal teachers. Part I of this work contains a review of modern methods. In Part II a critical analysis is offered of certain theories of the vocal action which receive much attention in practical instruction. Part III contains a summary of all present knowledge of the voice. In Part IV the information about the vocal action obtained from the two sources is combined -the scientific knowledge of mechanical processes, and the empirical knowledge derived from attentive listening to voices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Expression in Singing: Including Thirty-One Exercises for Voice Culture I, theodore drury, feel that no higher compliment could be paid me than Mr. Howard's request to write a preface to this work, and I start with full knowledge of my inability to do justice to the writings of so great a master and genius. Books on voice culture are no more a novelty. I am certain, however, that in this, Mr. Howard has written a work of the greatest interest and benefit to students of vocal culture. That he is the foremost scientist living, on the voice - or for that matter that has ever lived - there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of anyone who has given the subject serious study. Mr. Howard has been happily endowed with one of the most aristo cratic lineages. His claim to have exhausted the hitherto little-known science and art of voice production may seem to the reader more reason able if they are given the principal points of his remarkable ancestry. It may seem more probable that he could accomplish so great a task if he had been in a measure prepared for it by his wonderful pedigree. Mr. Howard is the direct descendant of seven lines of kings and emperors, also a descendant through his father of the earliest American colonists, one of whom was a general in the Pequot Indian war. Two of his female ancestors married governors of Massachusetts; his father was wounded in the Mexican War, and he himself served in the Twelfth Massachusetts Regiment during the Civil War. The Southworth genealogy, which can be found in the Lenox Library, begins with Wodin, Emperor of the second century, and leads down to the Earl of Leicester, where the Southworth family name begins.

Download or read book The Psychology of Singing A Rational Method of Voice Culture Based on a Scientific Analysis of All Systems Ancient and Modern written by David C Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PECULIAR gap exists between the accepted theoretical basis of instruction in singing and the actual methods of vocal teachers. Judging by the number of scientific treatises on the voice, the academic observer would be led to believe that a coherent Science of Voice Culture has been evolved. Modern methods of instruction in singing are presumed to embody a system of exact and infallible rules for the management of the voice. Teachers of singing in all the musical centers of Europe and America claim to follow a definite plan in the training of voices, based on established scientific principles. But a practical acquaintance with the modern art of Voice Culture reveals the fact that the laws of tone-production deduced from the scientific investigation of the voice do not furnish a satisfactory basis for a method of training voices. Throughout the entire vocal profession, among singers, teachers, and students alike, there is a general feeling of the insufficiency of present knowledge of the voice. The problem of the correct management of the vocal organs has not been finally and definitely solved. Voice Culture has not been reduced to an exact science. Vocal teachers are not in possession of an infallible method of training voices. Students of singing find great difficulty in learning how to use their voices. Voice Culture is generally recognized as entitled to a position among the exact sciences; but something remains to be done before it can assume that position.

Download or read book Ways of Voice written by Matthew Rahaim and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ways of Voice explores techniques of voice production in North India, from Bollywood to raga music to ghazal to devotional hymns and Sufi song. The voices in play here are not merely given, but achieved. Singers consciously train themselves to cultivate characteristic vocal gaits, sonorities, and poetic attunements; they adopt postures of the vocal apparatus; they build habits of listening, temporality, and social relations. The action in Ways of Voice revolves around several dozen North Indian popular, devotional, classical, and folk singers engaged in projects of vocal striving. Like most singers, they are strategically working on changing, refining, and making their own voices. The book thus highlights the ways in which singers not only "have" voice, but actively acquire, cultivate and contest particular vocal dispositions for particular kinds of listeners. In framing a "Hindustani vocal ecumene" that encompasses a diverse range of classical, popular, and spiritual-devotional musical styles and practices, it offers an expansive look at ways of voice that extend far beyond commonsense boundaries of genre and place. A rich archive of audio and video examples are provided on the online companion site, which can be found at https://www.weslpress.org/readers-companions/.
