It is necessary to open the mouth

no fear of OPEN ng 1t too much because
singing in such - case would cause 30
much inconveniepc>' that 1t could nos
be continued. For Two reasons tne
breath has to be "nur6A wnen sing

Do not acquire an artificial way %
holding the head when singing, but
keep 1t precisely as when speaking, BE-
cause it is essential that an easy a"
natural position should BE- adopted IN
order that pure notes may be produced.
To test the necessity Of this, sing sos-
tanned note, say broad "a" as In IA
Their. (a) with the head In natural po-
sitiop. (b) with the chin pushed out
and (o) with the chin drawn In. En-
deayor to cultivate q pleasant express

course, not In any way pronounced
smile.
Keep the breathing as low down IN
the chest as possible, and, above all
things, never draw breath by raising
the shoulders. This is q very perntcious
habit. because, besides the effect it has
upon the blood vessels Of the throat,
causing invariably distressing nervous
ness, the lower parts Of the lungs, which
are the more flexible. are not sufficient
ly exercised and tho breathing capacity
is diminished.
Do not practice for too long q time in
case the voice should be tired. It is
much better to exercise for, say. ten
minutes several times a day. Never

| cold or any other illness, and above all
things do not, II a certain note cannot

pronounce the words SO that they may
be distinctly heard, because the charms
Of q song are always greatly enhanced
| when the beauties Of music are COM
bined with skillfully written verse. II
is q good plan to frequently recite the
words Of song. putting the requisite
expression into them. because by this
means the sense will be more vividly
before the mind when the attention has
to be bestowed upon both music and
words. Endeavor to acquire an easy
and graceful position when singing in
public and neither grab the sheet q
music as If afraid it will fall nor flnge,
1t nervously, changing the position Of
the hands every few seconds. Lastly,
do not be too anxious to accept enoores
because few things serve to diminish ar
