Research On The Practical Singing Of Max Speaker's Coloratura Soprano

Max Spiker, a deceased famous musician, cantor and artistic writer and educationist has written a series of high-ranking vocal etude for both men and women in his whole art life. And these etudes study the sounding principles of the vocal music learners from the angle of body functions and provide the reasonable methods of practicing voice for specific parts. This will make the singers'voice in different characteristics achieve the best way to sing scientifically and orderly. Max Spiker's etudes were designed for advanced learner rather than beginner. The advanced etudes include those designed specially for different vocal parts as tenor, baritone, soprano and mezzo-soprano. And in the soprano etudes, it only emphasizes on the coloratura soprano etudes but no systematical explanations except the practicing music score. At present, there are many coloratura soprano learners in China. However, not many of them can become an outstanding singer. The main reason is that in the researcher of the etudes, the coloratura soprano is still incomplete or has its own style. Moreover, in the process of learning vocal music, on the one hand, the etudes are monotonic; for example, the simplex figure makes the students sing automatically with no difference. Then the etudes couldn't be expressed its flexibility or adapt immediately as encounter other type of figure. On the other hand, because of the character of no words, it's easy to make the learners separate the etudes from the real singing which will cause that the singers couldn't apply techniques meticulously in singing and also can't express the songs completely.This article mainly talks about that Max Spikers'etudes base on its techniques. The key point is to express the emotion and conception of songs by using different kinds of techniques. In the research of his advanced etudes for coloratura soprano, it's easy to find that the practicing way goes step by step and from simple to difficult. This not only increases the practicing difficulty but also improve the learners'singing skills. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to research that systematical organization of the etudes can make the learners train according to the scientific and systematic methods and obtain the beautiful voice. In the end, the writers try to fill out the proper language environment or situations in some of the etudes based on this which make the etudes more affective and shorten the distance between etudes and songs so as to let the learners successfully adapt to it and apply sorts of techniques in coloratura soprano to fully express the conceptions in the songs. Finally, I hope my research could provide some efficient methods to the learners.
