There are so many sides to it and conditions confronting it that a book could and should be written which would, as far as possible, exhaust the subject. Let us first consider the accompanist, and, because so many more women than men aim to succeed in this field, we will designate her as she. http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/accompanying-singers.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/accompanying-singers.html Vocalists Some awakenings are gradual. The dream of success has not been a troubled dream, but a season of repose interspersed with moments of self-sacrificing effort. The gifts, however, were so abundant that even such efforts gave a respectable harvest of tone and encouragement, and a future with brilliant prospects was... http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/the-awakening.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/the-awakening.html Vocalists The principal varieties of tone-connection in singing may be classified as follows: Legato, Portamento, Marcato, and Staccato. The term Legato is from the Italian legare, to bind, and indicates a tone-connection where the pitch of one tone begins directly at the close of the previous tone without any break of... http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/the-technic-of-vocal-expression-no-iii-tone-connection.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/the-technic-of-vocal-expression-no-iii-tone-connection.html Vocalists Because of the intimate relations of poetry and vocal music there is much light to be cast from verses upon tunes, and from tunes upon verses. As soon as we begin to set words in order, into feet, lines, and stanzas, the question of collocation, the place for separation, and... http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/study-in-phrasing-i.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/study-in-phrasing-i.html Vocalists This question was asked me some time ago by a pupil who for years had been singing with a very tightly constricted throat, so much so, that the quality was very harsh and poor, and there was very little power. I answered this question, and will give the readers of... http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/why-am-i-so-stupid.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/why-am-i-so-stupid.html Vocalists http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/operatic-voices.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/operatic-voices.html Vocalists Prof. E. W. Scripture contributes an article entitled "How the Voice Looks" to a recent number of the Century. Professor Scripture is director of the Psychological Laboratory of Yale University, and if his views are accepted there promises to be a revolution in vocal teaching.

Hermann Ritter is known throughout Europe as a wonderful lecturer on musical history, yet it must be said that he spends three-fourths of the lesson-hour in relating apparently irrelevant stories that seemingly have little bearing on the subject. http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/true-meaning-and-value-of-creative-work.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/true-meaning-and-value-of-creative-work.html Teaching W. S. B. MATHEWS. Every experienced teacher necessarily formulates in some interior part of his mind certain elements which he thinks pieces ought to have or not have for pupils in the early stages of learning. Yet it is rare that he is able to state precisely what are the... http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/essential-characteristics-of-teaching-pieces-for-the-lower-grades.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/essential-characteristics-of-teaching-pieces-for-the-lower-grades.html Teaching The composer is worse off than any other branch. If he writes the highest and best, he cannot publish, and he must teach or sing low to get a living. The music now published, however, is much better than was the case in the past, and there has been a great awakening and extraordinary change in the last fifteen years. http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/sir-alexander-campbell-mackenzie-and-the-royal-academy-of-music-london.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/sir-alexander-campbell-mackenzie-and-the-royal-academy-of-music-london.html Interviews It can hardly be said that the clubs are getting ready for work, for as yet those who give the most active work and thought to the welfare of these organizations are resting up for the coming season. The growth of the musical-club fad, if so beneficial a function may be termed a fad, is nothing short of remarkable. http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/music-clubs-and-their-pitfalls.html http://etudemagazine.com/etude/1902/09/music-clubs-and-their-pitfalls.html Woman's Work In Music Edited by FANNY MORRIS SMITH Once a very good New England woman was heard to thank her Creator that He had placed all the great rivers beside the great towns.
