Mr. Stock’s system of voice culture rests, primarily, upon the fundamental principles of breathing.
Because individuals differ, no two larynges give out tone exactly alike.
When, then, these fundamentals
are thoroughly and practically understood, fixed method ceases and individual training begins.
Artistic singing is an impossibility without perfect breath control.

Superficial study leads to faults that are diffi-
It is essential, then, that pupils should at once receive knowledge of the voice as a musical instru-
ment, of its complex action in use, of its relation to the breath in singing, and should also be taught to
realize the strong influence which the mind exerts over the singing and speaking voice alike.
The fundamental act of singing is will power, and the singer must so train himself as to dominate
and make subservient to his will the physical forces which at first are more or less in opposition to singing
effort.
_By a right system of training these forces are brought under the control of the mind and eventually

The same principles which train the singer are of equal advantage to the speaking voice.
Mr. Stock extends a cordial invitation to those who are interested in this very important study to
call upon him at his studio, where he will with pleasure explain with thoroughness, his school of voice
culture.
