Gymnastics of the Voice for Song and Speech: Also a Method for the Cure of Stuttering and Stammering

Excerpt from Gymnastics of the Voice for Song and Speech: Also a Method for the Cure of Stuttering and Stammering

The rapid sale of the first English edition of my "Gymnastics of the Voice," and the speedy necessity of a second edition, lead me to hope that the book will have as prosperous a career here in my adopted country as in my native land. To do all in my power for this end, I have, in accordance with the desire of my publisher, undertaken a complete change in the arrangement of the text, - the substance of which, however, remains entirely unchanged, - for the purpose of making it more intelligible to the general public and better adapted for use in schools. Furthermore, I have added many new and important exercises - never before in print, and used by me only, in a thirty years' practice of teaching, - together with several fresh illustrations, while some of the old cuts have been replaced by better ones.
