things from Mr.. Haslam's book are
these:
"A genius IS sometimes eccentric,- but
eccentricity IL not genius"
Vocal students should hear as many
good singers as possible, but actually
initiate none"
Joy Is q great tonic, and acts on the
vocal cords and mucous membranes as
does m astringent. a brilliant and clear
quality OF voice Is the result. Grief or
fear. on the other hand. being depressing
emotiong. lower the vitality, and the
debilitatlng influence communicates to
the voice a dun and somber character" !"
AN artistic singer will use his most
powerful tones. az a painter employs his
most VIVID colors-sparingly."
Perseverance II allied to ability, caa
accomplish much"
When the type OF voice and the natu-
raj temperament OF the singer do not ac-
cord--as sometimes happens-he would be
unwise not 70 adhere to the work for
which his vocal means. not his prefer
ence, are best adapted"
(All good vocal teachers impress this
point on their Students and alas. too
often the advice is disregarded--and
therein lies the chief cause OF many
broken-down singers, and unemployed
artists" today.
We ofttimes hear singer make this re-
mark: "Well. IL / can't tell how 1 sing,
" can't hear my own voice, what's the
use Of studying2' The following remark
OF Mr.. HalIam will show that he has met
such people, for he says ''The singer
combines In himself both instrument and
performer: therefore he rarely, ~ ever
hears himself quite as does an
other person. Until possessed OF the
ripened judgment gained by experience
he would do well TO be guided in this
matter by one who, to the knowledge
required, adds taste and discernment." 8"
Here is good counsel: Never show
the public what you cannot do"
.
When Earth's last concert is over, and
49,, subscriptions have ceased 70 be,
When the oldest artist can listen, and
the youngest critic can see
We shall rest. and faith. we shall need
,-,,, lille down for an aeon or two,
TIL the Master OF All Good Workmen
shall set us TO work anew.
And those that were good shall be happy.
they shall sing for well-filled
They shall be in the best condition. and
Ihey shau find great souls to sing for,
Moses, and David. and John;
Ahey shal Mork Tor an age at prac-
tiee, and never be tired nor yawn.
And only the Master shall praise US. and
only the Master shall blame:
Ana no one shall work for money and
no one shall work for fame:
But each for the JOY OF the working,
and each, in his separate star
Shall sing the Thing as he sees 1t for
the God OF Things as They Are.
