VOICE CULTURE
MME. BAYERLEE Cracher of Singing
Telephone Morningside 3665 502 East 113th Street, New York
1. Is a specialist in voice · placing as well as in interpretation; she has, moreover, a thorough knowledge of the human throat.
2. She possesses the rare gift of the "absolute pitch," a gift which can- not be overvalued in a teacher of singing. Not only is her own in- tonation exquisitely pure, but her fine, sensitive ear allows her to de- velop purity of intonation and beauty of tone in her pupils.
3. She plays a virtuoso accompani- ment.
4. She has a broad culture outside of music, having studied painting, his- tory, literature, and especially lan- guages: German, English, French, Italian.
5. She has restored many a voice which "seemed hopelessly injured by abuse, and developed voices where other teachers failed to find any.
