The human singing voice is a potent and sacred instrument. It has accompanied the most profound moments in human evolution. It brings dignity and ceremony to our rituals. It is the language of the heart.

Each village, tribe or country expresses itself in musical sounds based on the structures and forms of it's inherited traditions. These traditions share a relationship with the animate and inanimate landscape.

Each new generation contributes the music of its childhood, adolescence, love, pain, rebellion and inspiration to collective of song. Michael C. Smith

The soul of a singer demands technique of both voice and breath before it will emerge as tone.

Intense vibration and adequate energy must ever be available.

Overtones are its colours:

Rhythm is its heart-beat:

Resonance its body:

Vowels the forms it assumes:

Consonants are its hands:

Emotion is its blood:

Imagination its ears and eyes:

Thought its feet:

Desire its wings:

Melody its language.

The soul of the singer is the subconscious self. 

It can use the body and mind only after these are disciplined by the conscious self."

Giovanni Battista Lamperti
