Summary/Abstract: Singing being nothing more than words that communicate and sounds that move, singers are distinguished from instrumentalists by having to respond to a particular challenge, that of singing words, that is, vocals are given a specific pitch and sustained according to the rhythmic demands of the music. While vowels are the carriers of vocal tone, consonants suspend it, but word meaning, timing, and rhythm cannot be communicated and conveyed accurately if the consonants are not well articulated. Great pedagogues of the 19th century and especially of the last century, analyzed all aspects of articulation, its correct education and formulated solutions to possible questions or stages of vocal education.
