Dear Lloyd,
Thank you so much for your acknowledgement of this. It is so affirming to
hear it from another pedagogue (besides my own beloved teacher).

I lost all of my undergrad pedagogy books in a house fire EXCEPT the Vennard
("Singing: The Mechanism and the Technic"), which I was lending to a student
of mine at the time. Do you have suggested passages in there that I could
access that would explain the larger voice/heavy mechanism relationship? Or
do you have any other suggested sources?
Thanks again for your comments and congratulations.
