Brower's literary style is both accessible and authoritative, interweaving personal anecdotes and historical references that ground her recommendations in the practices of celebrated vocalists from various musical traditions. This book stands as a testament to the era's burgeoning interest in the voice as an instrument, particularly during the early 20th century when vocal pedagogy began to evolve into a formal discipline. Harriette Brower, a renowned voice teacher and author, draws from her extensive experience in music and pedagogy to craft this comprehensive guide.
