Vocal Music The Glottis Moderate Sense "

"Glottic moderate feeling"in vocality singing is a highly standard singing skill of traditional Italian bel canto, which as well as"opening the throat"and"singing on the breath"are all regarded as precondition-prerequisite to acquire nice sound. In the whole movement of singing phonation, throat, pharynx and glottic state stand in the centre area. The glottic state has a direct impact on other states in the singing movement. As early as 19th century the famous vocality educationist Garc-a had made some important researches on the glottic in singing, whose theory became the important theoretic foundation for later generations to study glottic state. It has already been more than one hundred years since the introduction of bel canto. Unfortunately people did not have enough cognition about glottic state in singing yet, which contributed to the complicated situation of a variety of sayings and ambiguous definitions in the teaching of vocality and had a negative effect on the progress and the rate of success of the teaching of vocality in our country.Based on this condition, this article, beginning with the historical fact, gives a brief elaboration on the historical background and origin of"glottic moderate feeling". Besides, by using the related knowledge of physiology, anatomy, it deeply analyses the theoretic truth of"Glottic moderate feeling"in vocality singing:"glottic moderate feeling"is a kilter when glottic moves passively under the impact of exhaling breath.
