Myer is a practical study on vocal training written in the early 20th century. The book explores the principles of voice production, emphasizing the importance of natural bodily movements and emotional energy in achieving artistic singing. Myer critiques previous singing methods, advocating for a holistic approach that aligns with nature's laws and enhances the singer's physical, mental, and emotional faculties.  The opening of the book introduces readers to Myer's motivation and perspective on vocal art, outlining the evolution of singing techniques from the Old Italian School through the Dark Ages to the modern pursuit of a natural approach. He asserts that previous methods have often relied on artificial practices, hindering vocal freedom and expression. Myer stresses the significance of flexible movements, self-expression, and the development of emotional energy—a concept he describes as the "singer's sensation." This foundation sets the stage for his systematic approach to vocal training, which the following chapters will delve into further.
