      Vocal Physiology And The Teaching Of Singing - David D. Slater

      VOCAL PHYSIOLOGY

      AND THE

      TEACHING of SINGING.

      A Complete Guide to Teachers, Students

      AND

      CANDIDATES

      For the A.R.C.M., L.R.A.M.,

      AND

      ALL SIMILAR EXAMINATIONS.

      BY

      DAVID D. SLATER, A.R.C.M.

      ONE SHILLING & SIXPENCE, NET.

      LONDON:

      J. H. LARWAY,

      14, WELLS STREET, OXFORD STREET, W.

      PREFACE.

      WHILE the primary object of this little book is to assist and guide Students in preparing for the A.R.C.M., L.R.A.M., and all similar examinations, it is hoped that it may also prove useful to Teachers and Students of singing generally.

      The book is divided into three parts:—

      PART I. is a short, but comprehensive treatise on Vocal Physiology.

      There are already many excellent books on this subject, some of which may be read by Students with great profit, but in these pages the Author has endeavoured to set forth the main facts, avoiding unnecessary matter, yet covering all the ground required for examination and practical purposes.

      PART II. is designed to assist the Candidate in the Paper Work of his examination.

      It must be remembered, however, that the paper work in the examinations of the various colleges varies more or less, and the Candidate must study the syllabus of the particular examination for which he is entering, so that he may know, precisely, what is required of him.

      PART III. is devoted to the Oral Examination.

      In it the Candidate is instructed in the method of procedure adopted in the examination room. Thereafter, all the most important points connected with voice production are thoroughly dealt with, including the commonest faults, and the remedies for them.

      On comparing the syllabus of the Royal College (A.R.C.M.) with that of the Royal Academy, (L.R.A.M.) it will be found in the latter, that Candidates must sing a Recitative, a portion of a Cantabile Movement, and a portion of a Florid Movement, selected by themselves from the lists given, while in the former this is not required. Apart from this, the oral examinations for these diplomas are very similar.

      The main subjects on which questions will be asked are stated in the syllabi, but it must be clearly understood that there are many questions attached to each subject, and that the very answering of these, will, or may, give rise to side questions. These side questions will depend largely on the answers given by the Candidate to the leading questions, hence the necessity for a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the whole subject.

      Many of the points which have been dealt with in Part III. may never be touched upon, but there is not one of them but should be known and thoroughly understood by every teacher of singing. Then, again, any of these questions might be given for treatment in the paper-work examination.

      Candidates are strongly advised to obtain the assistance of a good Coach. Many excellent teachers of singing make a speciality of this work, and will instruct candidates, either personally or by correspondence.

      The Author begs to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. S. W. Churchill, L.R.A.M., A.R.C.M., a specialist on these Examinations, for much valuable information.
