How to Sing

Lehman’s How to Sing is a rare collection of first-hand singing knowledge by the premier expert of the early twentieth century. She presents precisely detailed descriptions on everything from tongue placement to breathing, and provides detailed diagrams to further convey physical sensations. Her convictions on the state of singing quality and the work ethics needed to attain a level of true competency are found in nearly every exercise. Lehman imposes the necessity of such devotion upon each of her students, recommending that no artist should consider singing in public before an intense three year study.
