young singer. Some useful hints of general importance to all singers are added.
219. Hackett, Charles. "Turning the Student into an Artist." (An interview.)
Etude, Philadelphia, 1942, Vol. 60, p. 377.
The vocal teacher is not unlike the doctor. His methods of diagnosis and treatment must vary with the individual case. Enunciation and career making are also discussed.
220. Hagara, Evelyn. Vocal Secrets of the Ancients. De Vorss and Company, Los
Angeles, 1940.
An interesting survey of old Italian principles in modern presentation. Lacking in scientific stature.
221. Halbe, Sara. ""Establishing a Routine of Practise." Etude, Philadelphia,
1938, Vol 56, p. 403.
A short daily lesson is ideal for beginners. A typical home practice routine is described.
222. Hall, Bernice. "Breathing and Breath, Their Natural Acquisition and
Control." Etude, Philadelphia, 1935, Vol. 53, p. 480.
Theory and practice are intelligibly discussed.
223.---------"Headtones and Mixtures." Etude, Philadelphia, 1936, Vol. 54, p.
244.
An attempt is made to explain vocal resonance with the use of five vocalises and a colorful but confusing terminology. Empirical assumptions abound.
224.---------MHow the Head Tones Grow." Etude, Philadelphia, 1934, Vol. 52,
p. 486.
Two exerdses for developing the head register are recommended. The discussion is vague and the terminology too elusive for practical comprehension.
225.---------"Mental Attitude a Vital Part of Vocal Teaching." Musician, New
York, September, 1935, Vol. 40, p. 7.
The honest teacher will foster psychological as well as technical approaches to singing. Questions should not be evaded in the lesson period, for every student has a right to expect a scientific understanding of the voice as part of his training.
226. *---------*rWbafs Wrong with Voice Teaching?" Musician, New York,
December, 1936, Vol. 41, p. 193.
Professional teaching requirements and general teaching faults are briefly discussed. Methodology is not considered.
227. Hall, John Walter and Brown, Ralph M. What Every Singer Should Know.
Vocal Science Publishing Company, Youngstown, Ohio, 1928.
A few teaching hints compactly presented. Merely opinions with no foundation in fact.
228. Harper, Ralph M. The Voice Governor, Give It a Chance. E. C. Sdiirmer,
Boston, 1940.
A form of diaphragmatic control is the voice governor. This and several novel ideas regarding vocal resonance are the main contributions. |
