In other words, perfect technique does not exist. And technique must be individualized in order to meet the needs of the singer. The differences in our physical structures and the wide variety in how we experience our bodies means that technique must be adjusted in order to fit the individual mold. For this reason I teach my students from a viewpoint of the sound emitted, building and beautifying the vowels and tone that the singer produces, rarely mentioning the physical apparatus that creates the sound. If the student produces a free, rich, and beautiful sound, then his physical apparatus functions freely and properly.
Form follows function.
Also important in discussing technique is the realization that technique is a living, dynamic experience, not capable of being frozen into the form of words on a page. One cannot learn technique from reading about it any more than one can learn to ride a bicycle by reading about it. It is a dynamic existential experience, full of wonder and creativity.
