- W1566452846 abstract "In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century there was considerable concern about managing the perceived 'Australian twang and slang' of school children. There was a focus on vocal health with detailed advice and instructions for breathing and vocal exercises provided in the South Australian Education Gazette. Singing was advocated as a form of 'health-giving exercise' for children. The physical benefits of singing were added to the arguments for the inclusion of music in schooling. Local experts published texts on vocal health and vocal pedagogy. There were lecturers of both elocution and singing at the University of Adelaide and the Adelaide Teachers' College. There was a determined effort to improve the vocal tone and enunciation of teacher trainees. These practices were in line with the Tonic Solfa approach that formed the basis of the South Australian school music curriculum until the 1950s. In The Standard Course, Curwen cited Nauenberg: 'The natural voice is merely the raw material which has to be elaborated into an instrument of art' and continued to state: 'Everyone should seek to have a cultivated voice.' In Australia, the 'raw material' was often considered very raw indeed and greatly in need of cultivation. This desire to change the speaking tone of children was part of an enforced standardisation of school language that advantaged some social classes and regional groups over others. Eventually this desire to suppress Australian dialects faded, possibly as we began to perceive ourselves as Australians rather than a dominion of the British Empire. This paper will explore past practices, rationales, advocacies and underlying understandings of a facet of school music: vocal health, singing tone and elocution. Some of these ideas remain current." @default.
