Practical Method of Italian Singing: For High Soprano Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The story goes that Vaccai used to teach the wealthy sons and daughters of Englishmen, and it was well known in that time that only 'fallen' men and women would attempt a life on the stage, and never those deemed noble.It was the method at that time that students such as these would go through years of just learning scales and singing melodies the "Sol-fa" method.Vaccai thought that his students would get bored out of their minds being forced into such a bland routine, so he wrote cantos and short, Italian melodies which were meant to elastize the voice, widen range, and increase the overall beauty of the voice.
Did Vaccai succeed?Most definitely, as evidenced by this book.I recommend it highly to voice teachers with students that are at the advanced amateur level, and for students who are studying independently or those at a slightly lower level but who have adept learning skills.This book will help with arpeggios and runs, and will turn your blushing straight-toner into a coloratura.

Product Description:
Italian composer Nicola Vaccai (1790-1848) was known for his operas in his day, but today is remembered as a master voice teacher. Vaccai composed these exercises for training the classical voice, extending range and increasing agility, breath support, and all other technical issues of singing. The art of singing reached a zenith in Italy in 1800-1840. Vaccai's "Practical Method" has been used by millions of singers since its first publication in Europe in the 19th century. Schirmer released the first American edition in the early 20th century, and it remains a classic for voice study. The method comes in various editions for different voice types, including this one for mezzo-soprano, alto or baritone.
