Excerpt from How to Breathe, Speak and SingThe collection of vocal exercises with piano accompaniment at the conclusion of this volume, together with Chapter VIII, which deals with the Old Italian Method, will be found of more interest to the vocalist than to the student of the speaking voice, though the latter is strongly advised to bear in mind the dictum of Morell Mackenzie, which appears at the head of Chapter I, and to resolutely pursue his studies in the direction of vocal technique.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
