83Edward Bromberg as Teacher.
85WHEN one hears Mr. Bromberg sing at a concert, one admires his sympathetic voice, artistic singing and good method, but when one listens to some of his advanced pupils you decide that he is not less successful as teacher. He seems to impart his knowledge to his pupils with surprising success. The first thing which impresses you is the correct and natural tone production, without any effort whatever. Mr. Bromberg may be justly called a specialist in this line, for he accomplishes wonderful results in tone placing.
87About two weeks ago one of Mr. Bromberg's artist pupils, F. S. Fairchild, who is the soloist of the Church of the Puritans (Harlem), sang at a musicale and scored a success. Mr. Fairchild is one of the coming bassos, and has studied with Mr. Bromberg for the last two years. He possesses a wonderfully smooth, even and sympathetic bass voice. His first song was the aria "Honor and Arms," from Händel's "Samson"; it called out enthusiastic applause, and he had to reply with "All Through the Night." In the second part of the program he sang Cowen's "For a Dream's Sake," and had to respond with Mildenberg's "Violet" and Hawley's "My Little Love."
89Mr. Bromberg has a number of other artist pupils; there is the well-known and successful concert and church singer, Miss Emma Dambman, with her glorious contralto voice who is with Mr. Bromberg, and speaks with enthusiasm of his teaching; Miss W. Newcomb, from Virginia, with a promising, clear and sympathetic lyric soprano voice; Miss May Pasman, who has a sonorous, rich and sympathetic alto voice; Arthur Caville, a tenor of fine range and sweet quality, who is doing good work, and many others whose names would occupy quite a space.
