Product Description
A compilation of essays written by renowned singing teachers as their testament to their great singing instructor, whose research and interpretations have given birth to a new era of vocal pedagogy known as Functional Voice Training. The essays explain the four basic principles with which he works: the two-register theory, the necessity for pure vowels, the use of rhythm to encourage the muscles to react spontaneously, and the choice of dynamic.

5 out of 5 stars Pichardo's Review   March 4, 2003
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Subject- BEL CANTO Principles and Practices- Author- Cornelius Reid
Mr.Reid, as difficult as it is to write down the Bel Canto Structure of Singing, has done an excellent job of attempting to get it on paper, as close to the real thing as I have ever read. The book is also very interesting in its writing and is enjoyable and fairly easy to read. I say this, being one of many who say they teach this method, and one of the very few, who actually knows and understands what Bel Canto is in singing. In his other, later writings on this subject, while there are truths in these works, Mr. Reid does somewhat stray from the purity of this method, perhaps in an attempt to not be so heartily disagreed with, as most singing/voice teachers, the majority as it were, have not a clue to what he was writing about. I strongly suggest that this book, for reference, be in everbody's musical library.

Thank you,

Luis Pichardo
