Abstract How would you like to talk with Melba, Farrar, Plancon, Bispham, or many of the other great singers who performed during the "Golden age" at the turn of the century, and ask them how they developed their technique? This book simply and explicitly presents the procedures for training the voice. A considerable portion is devoted to establishing a scientific basis for the exercises included.
