William C. Brown Company Publishers:
“In a world of political, economic and personal chaos, music is not a luxury but a necessity, not simply because it is the “universal language,” but because it is the persistent focus of man’s intelligence, aspiration and good will. Music is an excellent insurance for any young person.”
“No student ever wastes her time in a voice culture class, even though she never becomes a soloist. She is sure to carry away with her a stronger, more serviceable body as a result of her serious study of singing, for the physical requirements necessary for good tone production are conducive to good health. The student is taught correct posture, abdominal development, chest development, and breath control.”
“Singing fortifies health, widens culture, refines the intelligence, enriches the imagination makes for happiness and endows life with an added zest.”
