This masterclass attempts to shed some light on the objective of vocal technique: that it is not an end in itself, but rather serves an aesthetic, expressive-formal ideal, and that it must function efficiently and economically in the use of resources. Based on practical examples and an ongoing dialogue with students, we will break down these elements to see which common places we can demystify and which we can validate.
