Giovanni Battista Lamperti was born in 1839 in Milan to Italian
singing teacher Francesco Lamperti. He was a chorister at the great
cathedral and studied voice and piano at the conservatory. A
student and later accompanist for his father at the conservatory,
Giovanni knew better than anyone else the method his father taught
(which he claimed descended from the great castrato-teacher Antonio
Bernacchi). Appropriating it for teaching his own students,
Giovanni also began teaching voice at the Milan conservatory and
then for 20 years in Dresden, followed by Berlin. His preferred
teaching arrangement was having three or four students present at
each lesson: each would get their turn while the others observed
and learned thereby. He was said to be a strict, exacting
instructor not given to flattery, but who enthusiastically praised
his students upon exceptional achievement. Many of Giovanni's
students became international opera stars including Irene
Abendroth, Marcella Sembrich, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, Paul Bulss,
Roberto Stagno, David Bispham and Franz Nachbaur. "The Technics of
Bel Canto" is the only book that Giovanni ever wrote on his method.
