I think it makes more sense to teach the ideal first, so that students have a
real understanding of pure, well produced vowels and how those ARE the true
essense of the voice.. Once they have that, then the adjustments of the vowels
seem to take care of themselves within their various contexts. This works in
the teaching of speech, as well as the teaching of singing.
