Answered by Madame Marchesi: A Department Devoted to the Questions of Vocal Students, Part 1

Abstract

Throughout 1907–1908, the Ladies Home Journal published a series of articles in which people could send questions to voice teacher Mathilde Marchesi to be answered in print. These articles are a rare glimpse at first person, uninterpreted pedagogical information. To the author’s knowledge, this collection of articles has not been republished in its entirety. The author will do so in a three-part article series within the Journal of Singing column “Provenance,” of which this is the first installment.
