Master Words: Manuel Garcia

I try to awaken your intelligence, so that you may be able to criticize your own singing as severely as I do. I want you to listen to your voice and use your brains. If you find a difficulty, do not shirk it. Make up your mind to master it. So many singers give up what they find hard. They think they are better off by leaving it, and turning their attention to other things which come more easily. Do not be like them.
— Manuel Garcia (1905-1906) "How Garcia Helped Singers"
