GHAM DAILY GAZETTE.

Since Herr Behnke's removal from Birmingham to London he has become an
accepted authority on the subject of voice production, and we are glad
to see the results of his studies presented in the useful way in which
they are in this little volume. Earnest and conscientious students of
the vocal art need not be reminded that the production of fine tone is
not the all-in-all of the excellences of singing, but they will
certainly know better how to employ their gifts after mastering the
secrets Herr Behnke reveals.

Opinions of Mrs. Emil Behnke's Pupils.

VOICE TRAINING.

FROM AN OLD PUPIL.

GRESHAM HOTEL, DUBLIN.

DEAR MRS. BEHNKE,--It is indeed regrettable that Mr. Behnke was not
spared to reap to a greater extent the reward of his wonderful work.
You, I know, must have acquired an adequate knowledge of his magnificent
system of teaching to enable you to continue on the same course, and so
perpetuate his memory. This is a source of comfort to your many friends.

FROM A LADY LECTURER.

EDGBASTON, _May 11th, 1893_.

MY DEAR MRS. BEHNKE,--I feel I must write to tell you how much better I
am, and how greatly indebted I am to your treatment.... I can take two
or three meetings a week with ease, thanks to your training, and the
deeper and fuller tone of my voice has been remarked upon by many.

LARNE, IRELAND.

I have no hesitation in saying that, under God, you were the means of
curing my voice.

FROM A CLERGYMAN WHO HAD BROKEN DOWN IN VOICE.

LONDON, _July, 1893_.

My voice gives me no trouble now; it is indeed very much fuller and more
resonant. I can fill my church without the least effort.

FROM A CLERGYMAN WHO HAD SUFFERED FROM "CLERGYMAN'S SORE THROAT."

BRIGHTON, _26th June, 1893_.

DEAR MRS. BEHNKE,--I take this opportunity of thanking you very much for
what you have done for my voice. I shall try to keep up your exercises,
and hope to receive more lessons later on in the year.

FROM A CLERGYMAN WHO STAMMERED, AND WHOSE VOICE WAS WEAK.

"THE PARSONAGE," _Feb. 7th, 1893_.

DEAR MRS. BEHNKE,--I told the Rev. Mr. S. of the great benefit I had
derived from your instruction. He proposes to bring the subject of your
work, and the importance of it to young clergymen, before the Bishop,
with a view to something being done for ordination candidates.

FROM A TEACHER OF SINGING.

SCARBOROUGH, _Jan. 6th, 1894_.

DEAR MRS. BEHNKE,--For some years I have been teach
