Download or read book Modern Singing Methods Their Use and Abuse written by John Franklin Botume and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Singing Methods, Their Use and Abuse The most important word in the vocabulary of Modem singing teachers is the word "Method." Every teacher now-a-days has his own peculiar method. Any pupil who has enjoyed six months, or even six hours, of instruction, can talk about his "Method" with as much mysterious self-satisfaction as if he had discovered the Key which was bound to unlock every enigma of vocal training. It is an interesting and, perhaps, amusing fact, that these methods are innumerable. It is also to be noticed that each one is different from every other. True: - All teachers agree, that, out of this crowd of ways for reaching vocal salvation, only one is the true and Catholic path, and all the rest are heresies. When, however, they come to the question of which path is the true one, they differ most emphatically, each teacher going his own way and regarding all others with righteous scorn. The beginner in the art of singing finds a difficulty in picking out the true faith when all the prophets are equally noisy and equally vituperative; so he often spends years seeking for the right teacher, staying with each master only long enough to upset what the previous one had taught him, and, too often, coming at last to the conclusion that his own unaided good sense is the best teacher, and all singing masters are either theorists or humbugs. This conclusion is a lame and impotent one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Modern Singing Methods 1885 Expanded Edition written by John Franklin Botume and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-25 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.F. Botume was perhaps the first published vocal pedagogue to bridge the substantial gap between the “old Italian” and “modern” schools of voice training. Examining the strengths and weaknesses of the various modern “methods” of singing, Botume shows how scientifically-backed understanding and techniques can be integrated with the traditional bel canto method to prepare professional singers for today's unique vocal challenges. In this groundbreaking work, Botume also reveals the core principles upon which the “old Italian school” method rested and how their reintroduction today could revitalize modern singing. “Probably the best summary of the old Italian method offered by any modern teacher is contained in a little booklet by J. Frank Botume, entitled Modern Singing Methods. […] This sums up beautifully the external aspects of the old Italian method, and of modern methods as well.” David Taylor, Psychology of Singing

Father has given Jancsi permission to be in charge of his own herd, and Kate has begun to think about going to dances. Jancsi hardly even recognizes Kate when she appears at Peter and Mari’s wedding wearing nearly as many petticoats as the older girls wear. And Jancsi himself, astride his prized horse, doesn’t seem to Kate to be quite so boyish anymore. Then, when Hungary must send troops to fight in the Great War and Jancsi’s father is called to battle, the two cousins must grow up all the sooner in order to take care of the farm and all the relatives, Russian soldiers, and German war orphans who take refuge there. “A spontaneous, lively tale”—The New York Times

Download or read book Venanzio Rauzzini and the Birth of a New Style in English Singing written by Brianna E. Robertson-Kirkland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the eighteenth century, the one-to-one singing lesson has been the most common method of delivery. The scenario allows the teacher to familiarise and individualise the lesson to suit the needs of their student; however, it can also lead to speculation about what is taught. More troubling is the heightened risk of gossip and rumour with the private space generating speculation about the student–teacher relationship. Venanzio Rauzzini (1746–1810), an Italian castrato living in England who became a highly sought-after singing master, was particularly susceptible since his students tended to be women, whose moral character was under more scrutiny than their male counterparts. Even so in 1792, The Bath Chronicle proclaimed the Italian castrato: 'the father of a new style in English singing'. Branding Rauzzini as a founder of an English style was not an error, but indicative of deep-seated anxieties about the Italian invasion on England’s musical culture. This book places teaching at the centre of the socio-historical narrative and provides unique insight into musical culture. Using a microhistory approach, this study is the first to focus in on the impact of teaching and casts new light on issues of celebrity culture, gender and nationalism in Georgian England.
