Pronunciation In Singing
It is impossible to emphasise too strongly the importance of clear pronunciation in singing. The English, as a rule, pronounce indistinctly. "We carry on our talk," says Mr. H. Deacon, "in mere smudges of sound," a graphic and true way of putting ...
Registers Of The Voice
The subject of vocal registers is a difficult one--difficult to understand and, when understood, difficult to make intelligible to others. In fact, it is so difficult that some people get rid of it by calmly asserting that there are no registers. ...
Schools For Choristers
Music is now recognised as one of the professions, taking its place by the side of Law, Medicine, and Divinity. Parents who have boys to start in life look for avenues of entrance to these various occupations. And there can be no doubt that to be ...

The Physiology And Psychology Of Voice-production
Above this chapter I might well have placed the following lines which George Eliot wrote above Chapter XXXI. of "Middlemarch." How will you know the pitch of that great bell, Too large for you to stir? Let but a flute Play 'neath the fine...
The Special Difficulties Of Agricultural Districts
My object is to help those whose difficulties are greatest; who, so far from being able to pick out boys of musical talent and fine voice, are obliged to accept the material that offers, often of the poorest musical description. The country boy is...

The coup de glotte, translated as "stroke of the glottis," refers to the manner in which a note should be attacked. This matter of attack already has been covered by inference many times in the course of this book. For, as the effectiveness of voc...
