Vocal pedagogy in Italy: the relevance of the research topic

this research article explores and substantiates the relevance of research into aspects of the Italian vocal school. The authors emphasize the insufficient meaningful use of the methodological potential of the Italian vocal school and the neglect of certain traditions, including the bel canto school. The issue of the need to study extensive material to develop the necessary methodological system for teaching professional vocal mastery based on the Italian vocal school is raised. This includes: the history of the Italian vocal school; past teaching aids on vocal mastery (Giuseppe Aprile, Luigi Lablache, Gioachino Rossini, Franz Abt, etc.); works of outstanding 20th-century scientists in the field of acoustics and physiology of the singers' voice (D.L. Aspelund, V.A. Bagadurov, L.B. Dmitriev, V.P. Morozov, L.D. Rabotnov, G.P. Stulova, R. Yusson, V.I. Yushmanov, and others); analysis of the performance practices of famous world vocalists of the 20th century (Carlo Bergonzi, Claudia Muzio, Luigi Ottorino, Luciano Pavarotti, Maria Callas, Montserrat Caball?, Tito Gobbi, Enrico Caruso, and many others).
