Do we know if the general "rule" of many of the era of the numerous pop singers Dr. Hanson mentions took voice lessons, or were they naturals? I seem to think I read that Frank Sinatra took lessons for a while when he was first starting out. Not knowing much about recent pedagogical history,one assumes Classical training was the only training. But my question would be, did those pop singers, in their quest to better themselves, encounter a "bias" against crossing over--were they going against the grain as realistic pop or jazz singers if they took Classical lessons? I suppose these days, with so many more "methods" from which to choose, ie Seth Riggs, that the value of what a Classical teacher offers seems to be qualified and narrowed by those who would focus on "making it" in the pop world today....???
