Brooke's SS Chapter 9 Summary

Brooke's SS Chapter 9 Summary-
This chapter is 6th Inventions called Getting High. It makes your voice assume a "high level of clean phonation, free flowing air, tonal balance, spontaneity, and flexibility."It helps us learn to let our muscles adjust all the time. "The goal in getting high is to train the voice to  naturally and instinctively modulate between the extremes of chiaro and oscuro" We want our voice to be balanced, but if it is balanced the sensations we feel will not always be the same. The exercise is an 11 tone scale sung on seventeen notes. starting in the lower range we ascend eleven notes then descend  on a dominant seventh chord, arriving finally on the original pitch where we began.

 Mixing head chest and head voice is a phrase that he does not like. It makes people try to manufacture the sound instead of letting it freely flow out. We need to feel like we have a transmission we don't want to push the voice but just let it change naturally.
