Why Is Cornelius L. Reid Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Cornelius Lawrence Reid , was a well-known vocal pedagogue in New York City, specialist in the bel canto technique, and author of books on bel canto. Life Childhood As a boy of nine Reid became a chorister in the choir of Trinity Church, New York. This time of regular singing in a good choir at a young age had a profound influence on him: "Retrospectively, one of the great advantages of the training given the choirboys of Trinity Church at that time was that the technique of tone production was never a matter for discussion. To the contrary, we were simply encouraged to sing musically and to pronounce the words distinctly. Singing itself was the object of study, not the mechanics of singing. Looking back over the many decades I have been teaching singing, this has been a continuing emphasis, the purpose being to communicate through the act of singing itself."
