Lesson I The Diatonic Scate In this st Lesson, Signor Vaceai has not grouped the letters of the Italian syllable according to the correct rules of spelling, but in such a fashion that the pupil may per - ceive,at the very first glance, how his voice should dwell on the vowels, exclusively,to the extreme value of the note or notes they influence, and how with a swift and immediate a ticulation of the consonants he should attack the following syllable. This will greatly f cilitite him in acquiring what the Italians call the Canto legato (Chant lig) — though, of course, we need hardly say that here the teacher's example and oral explanation is better than all written precept.
