Excerpt from Five Years of Vocal Study Under Fernando Michelena
My Five years of vocal study under the late Fernando Michelena, may be described in brief, as five years of earnest but extremely pleasant work; five years which meant more to my health and education, than any other study or association. I now realize more than ever, the value of those all too brief years; in fact, to be exact, it lacked about one month of being five years; for I took my first lesson on April 7, 1916, and continued until the time of Michelena"s death, which occurred on March 4, 1921; having taken my last lesson a few days before his untimely and sudden passing. I will add here, that Fernando Michelena was my first and last teacher; for prior to taking lessons from him, I had merely investigated the method of another teacher who happened to live in my home town, very quickly seeing, untutored though I was, that she lacked the requisites of a finished vocalist. Immediately I gave up all thought of taking lessons from her, and began my first instruction, wholly untrained, with the master Michelena.
