50 Leçons Op.9: Medium Voice

These lessons transcend typical vocalise work because they read like genuine vocal music rather than exercises. Concone's melodic invention keeps singers engaged while building the specific technical demands your students need at the intermediate stage.

The Concone leçons balance classical restraint with genuine musicality. Each lesson unfolds as a miniature song, combining flowing melodic lines with harmonic language that feels substantial and grounded, never trivial.

Medium voice students moving beyond basic technique into more demanding vocalise work, including those preparing for applied voice study or serious vocal performance. This collection serves intermediate to early advanced singers who benefit from structured melodic vocalises that develop legit tone and line without the complexity of art song literature.

• Work through the collection in sequence, allowing each lesson to build on the technical foundation of the previous one.
• Shape each phrase with intent rather than drilling mechanically; Concone's melodies reward musical interpretation even within a technical framework.
• Pay close attention to the piano part, which often contains harmonic movement or contrapuntal interest that supports vocal phrasing.
• Use these as audition or recital repertoire for students ready to demonstrate sustained vocal control and musical maturity.

Assign these individually as supplementary repertoire throughout the year rather than as a single recital piece. A student might perform one or two Concone lessons in a studio class or undergraduate jury to demonstrate technical preparation alongside art song programming.

• Extended legit singing in the medium vocal range
• Sustained phrasing over 8 to 16 bar phrases
• Dynamic control and messa di voce
• Melodic confidence without text-based emotional anchors
• Collaborative listening with piano accompaniment
• Intonation consistency across a range of harmonic contexts
