Allan Lindquest's Axiom for Vocal Pedagogy

BASED UPON A PSYCHO-PHYSICAL MENTAL STATE OF CALMNESS, REPOSE, PATIENCE AND CONFIDENCE, AND MOTIVATED BY THE URGE TO SING, THE TRAINING OF THE VOICE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CORPORAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT WHICH MUST BE TRAINED INTO CORRECT FORM AND FUNCTIONING GUIDED BY SENSORY AWARENESS OF:

1. The feeling of correct posture.

2. The feeling of correct breathing reflexes.

3. The feeling of repose in the swallowing complex.

4. The feeling of the opened resonators.

5. The feeling of correct action of the pronouncing mechanism.
