Table of Contents
THIS book is not for the purpose of instruction in singing, as singing is an art which cannot be taught from book or correspondence. Neither is it a technical treatise on the voice, but instead I aim through the medium of my book to have a heart-to-heart
talk with the beginner, and with those who contemplate the study of voice culture.
Books abounding in technical terms are valueless to a beginner, and the finished artist does not need such a book. There are many valuable books published, but very few which are written in a manner simple enough for the beginner to grasp. I wish to give all the valuable hints
and helps
that it has taken years of experience to gather, covering all the questions that are absolutely necessary to know, making it brief, simple and understandable.
MADAME LILLIAN NORDICA
Who is carrying out her plans of establishing a conservatory of music and festival house for operatic performances, at Neal, N.J. Mme. Nordica says: "I am confident that there is a crying need in this country for this sort of musical establishment. Present conditions make it impossible to enable the public to enjoy opera in English or to hear the singing of that great host of talented Americans who are forced to address their efforts to European audiences.
IS IT WORTH MY WHILE TO HAVE MY VOICE CULTIVATED?
Table of Contents
THE first question which arises with all those who possess an average singing voice is, Will it pay me to study voice culture?
The answer may be found in the following:
If you possess a good voice, do not hesitate a moment to cultivate it, regarding it as the most beautiful gift granted you by Heaven.
—Schumann.
But,
says the applicant, I must make my own living. Have I enough material to cultivate and be able to realize returns?
This depends entirely on yourself and what your ambitions are.
There is a great field in music, and if you have ear, voice, and talent, STUDY. And, if in addition to these you have ambition, determination and application, you are sure of success. What your field of operation will be, whether church, concert or opera, time will decide.
The power to win is yours—determine to succeed and you cannot fail.
In order to make a success of anything, you must give it your undivided attention, and while doing so, your aim must be fixed constantly on the goal which you desire to attain. Rome was not built in one day, neither can the elementary training of a voice be accomplished in a year.
If you are in good health, you must never allow the warm days of summer to be an obstacle to your practice. Can you imagine the successful banker, rising young doctor, lawyer or actor stopping their work because of a warm day? There may be some who do, but they are not the ones who are successful. When you hear a great singer, think of the obstacles she must have overcome in reaching her position of excellence. Never doubt yourself or your ability, but say that what determination and application have done for others can be done for me.
You must have confidence in yourself if you want others to have confidence in you.
Never lose your temper. Adeline Patti was asked how she preserved her charm long after the springtime of youth deserts the average woman. She replied, I keep my temper.
Don't expect to grasp, assimilate and
