Abstract This collection of essays represents more than half a century of continuous refinement of the author's teaching methods. The founders of bel canto singing understood through their observations that the principles of voice training were in direct conformity with Nature's laws. They recognized that the vocal organs, like all organic systems, interact with their environment on an ecological plane. As a result, the voice can be developed in response to specifically arranged patterns of pitch, intensity, and vowel.
