It is about time.\u00a0 It was in 1906 that the greatest proponent of \u201cScientific\u201d inquiry into Vocal Pedagogy died.\u00a0 Manuel Garcia Jr. lived for a century in which he played a crucial role as vocal theorist, vocal instructor and author of pedagogical treatises. 2011 seems to me a good year to start talking about the wisdom with which he taught some of the most famous singers of his day, his sisters included, and with which he filled his writings.\u00a0 Christmas Day 2011 seems to be the best day for celebrating all the gifts I have recieved in my life, even if Garcia only makes the cut for top ten.\u00a0 Merry Christmas!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to thank a tenor for\u00a0 the push I needed to get started.\u00a0 I guess it takes a tenor to\u00a0convince a tenor. Many thanks to Mart\u00edn Nusspaumer.\u00a0 Oh, by the way, if you can’t make a connection between 1906 and 2011 then you might not be a tenor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want to pick at the fabric of\u00a0\u00a0confusion that\u00a0I hear\u00a0covering voices everywhere I turn.\u00a0Garcia\u00a0addresses\u00a0this\u00a0problem in his books and I want to talk about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These\u00a0blogs are a starting point from which I\u00a0will say what\u00a0I think needs to be said.\u00a0\u00a0In other words:\u00a0It’s time to\u00a0put up or shut up.\u00a0 I\u00a0insist that technology is useful and should be used to improve\u00a0a singers\u00a0results.\u00a0 I\u00a0used every technical advantage I could\u00a0when I called myself a singer.\u00a0 It’s time to\u00a0start acting as if\u00a0I still believe technology is useful,\u00a0even though\u00a0I’ve changed my trade name from singer to<\/strong> voice teacher.<\/strong><\/p>\n
