Using English as her starting point, the author introduces the International Phonetic Alphabet-the standard for pronunciation used by singers-and applies its symbols to the three languages essential to a study of vocal literature-German, Fre nch and Italian. The book is dedicated to a simplified grammatical approach which will ultimately enable all musicians to read treatises and journals, translate song texts, perform with understanding, and command the basic language skills of conversation.
