Abstract
SINGING is without question an art, but there should be at least an element of science in the training of singers. The technique employed is very difficult to discover from conversation with teachers of singing. The difficulty is partly due to- lack of common vocabulary, and too often also the same words are used by singers and scientists with quite different meanings.
