(Francis Edward) 1858 The Child-Voice in Singing Treated from a physiological and a practical standpoint and especially adapted to schools and boy choirs Produced by Louise Hope, Nada Prodanovic, David Newman, David Edwards and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Child-Voice in Singing" by Francis E. Howard is a guidebook on vocal training written in the late 19th century. The text focuses on the physiological aspects of children's singing voices, providing insights and teaching methods specifically tailored for schools and boy choirs. Howard aims to establish a scientific foundation for proper vocal technique in children, advocating for soft singing and the appropriate use of the head-voice. The opening of the work presents a preface that emphasizes the common misperception that children's voices are inherently rough and harsh. Howard argues against this notion, asserting that children's voices can be trained to produce soft, beautiful tones if they are appropriately managed. He discusses the physiological differences between child and adult voices and sets the stage for the following chapters, which will delve into the mechanics of singing and provide practical guidance for educators. Overall, the initial portion serves as a strong introduction to the importance of proper vocal training in childhood, establishing the author's expertise and intentions for the work.
