Summary/Abstract: The customs of the pedagogical practice, as well as the professional practice, can be talked about indefinitely and is dependent on the school from which the specialist comes, or his professional experiences. It is important to always keep in mind the principles of professional singing, namely, to be able to sing effortless throughout the vocal score and to keep the voice young and beautiful for at least 25 years. Voice broadcasting is a custom that is often based on subjective information, even though it refers to the way in which sound is produced and should be based on scientific information. Breathing, though, less affected by subjectivism, tends to be caught in the whirl of circumstantial information. Similarly, sound support, mouth opening and head position on acute notes have their own, more or less justified, customs. The conclusion that is necessitated following the presentation of some customs ubiquitous in pedagogical singing practice is that the correct translation and motivation based on thorough study of each expression and applying scientifically methods is essential.
