Care and Training of the Voice:
The human voice is an extremely delicate instrument and must be guided with care by a
person trained in its nuances and subtleties. Only through consistent and vigilant
training with experienced direction can the voice grow in range, color, quality and volume
over a period of months and years.
It is very important that each student be regular in his/her attendance. Consistency is a
vital part of progress made by the student.
Practice is also an important part of vocal development. Two or three, five to ten minute
periods a day for beginning students, is recommended. |
