Myron Myers - Basso cantante

The technique I teach derives from a long line of European teachers, and features a rigorous abdominal and thoracic breath, low larynx, firm adduction, portamento and clear vowels. For details, please visit www.myronmyersbass.com and click on "Elizabeth Fleming: Inheritor of the Bel Canto Tradition," a physiological analysis of the most complete technique with which I came into contact. It will help you, too.
