George Peckham's Vocal Master Class

Описание: George Peckham, born in 1900, was one of the greatest vocal teachers of the Twentieth Century. He learned to sing in the 1920's from some of the finest European master teachers from the 1800's, who learned to sing long before the microphone was invented. This rare footage of George is preserved in this half hour video compilation of some of his essential teaching philosophies, now long-lost to the ages except for this video and his surviving students, who were lucky enough to learn from him. His students included Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart, jazz singer Ernestine Anderson, and songstress Judy Collins. George was one of the last teachers who learned from the Opera greats of the 19th century, and his humorous style of teaching and wisdom passed down through the ages are a Godsend for those students who are confused by the modern proliferation of techniques that have gone so far afield from the original pedagogy. Watch, listen, and learn from a Master Teacher now long gone from this world. This is the way professional singers learned to fill a hall long before the invention of the microphone and sound systems. "Let your breath be your friend, not your enemy." God Bless and Keep You, George.
