Declamation lessons I have given to singers and instrumentalists

For too many years I have been wanting to make my teaching sheets available on this site.
Here there are, in chronological order:

•  Pages prepared circa 1995 for singers at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore and for the singers of Ryan Brown's Opera Lafayette
•  Pages distributed to the singers I was coaching for Lully's Thésée sponsored by the Ambronnay Academy of Baroque Music, directed by William Christie, 1998
•  Pages distributed to singers and instrumentalists for a lecture at Oberlin Conservatory, 2005

All three presentations summarize – each it a slightly different way – the points I make in my Harmonic Orator (Pendragon Press, 2001)

Note: although the scanned pages can be read online, they generally do not print on a single page. If you want to print a specific page, I suggest that you right-click on the illustration, chose the option "Save Picture As...", and save it to a file on your computer (for example, "My Pictures").
