Rehearsal tracks for educational purposes
These exercises should be sung in full voice until the head notes are reached. Otherwise the voice will not develop. The head notes must be sung pianissimo – not by closing the throat, or by holding back the tone, but by using less breath.
In rapid scale passages, the middle notes that lead up to the head notes should be sung more softly, so that there may be no break in the even tone of the scale.
All scales must be divided into rhythmic groups of notes;- the first note of each group being accented very lightly. This accent must not be a jerk; neither must it be caused by an increased expenditure of breath. It should be a mental, rather than a physical, accent.
Do not change the vowel, either in ascending or descending the scale, and do not allow the mouth to open more widely when you reach the head notes. This is very important.
