The Influence of Song on Mind and Body. An Address given to the Vocal Therapy Society at Lady St. Helier's

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

It is now two years since Armistice Day, and I then delivered a short address on vocal therapy and the manner in which it originated at the Maudsley Hospital in small beginnings. It was then energetically supported by Lady Carnarvon, and a society was founded for the purpose of providing teachers for instruction of soldiers and ex-service men in breathing and singing, as well as in the treatment of speech disabilities, under medical direction and supervision. I was fortunate in securing such excellent teachers as Miss Oswald, Miss Bush and Miss Dredge, who, with genuine enthusiasm, successively carried out vocal therapy at the Maudsley Hospital.
