Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. J.F. Botume was perhaps the first published vocal pedagogue to bridge the substantial gap between the "old Italian" and "modern" schools of voice training. Examining the strengths and weaknesses of the various modern "methods" of singing, Botume shows how scientifically-backed understanding and techniques can be integrated with the traditional bel canto method to prepare professional singers for today's unique vocal challenges. In this groundbreaking work, Botume also reveals the core principles upon which the "old Italian school" method rested and how their reintroduction today could revitalize modern singing.
