Melocchi vs LoMonaco: Comparing Two Operatic Singing Techniques

In today's video, we're diving deep into a fascinating comparison between two operatic singing techniques: the LoMonaco method and the Melocchi technique. As a dedicated practitioner and teacher of the Melocchi method, I'll share insights from my own experience while also exploring the LoMonaco technique through research and feedback from my students who have previously trained in it.
We'll cover three key differences between these approaches:
1. Breath Control: Why "releasing the breath" in the LoMonaco method might be problematic compared to the Melocchi approach of "singing on the breath."
2. Falsetto Training: The use of falsetto in the LoMonaco method versus full voice training in the Melocchi technique.
3. Lowering the Larynx: Active laryngeal muscle training in the Melocchi method versus the LoMonaco method's focus on tongue and jaw positioning.
