In a follow-up to my previous episode on the importance of teaching children to speak well, this episode goes deeply into the history of not only physical culture in schools--but also "vocal culture" in the American K-12 school system. Join me while we take a critical look at the current trends to "amplify" dysfunctional speech during school assemblies and drama productions then reference this to what was taught in 1800s "vocal education."

Reference: "Manual of Physical and Vocal Training, for the Use of Schools and for Private Institutions" by Lewis B. Monroe, Superintendent of Physical and Vocal Culture in the Public Schools of Boston, Mass. (1869)
