Teachers argue over the best method, and students often move from teacher to teacher in search of the ultimate vocal style.
Technique is only one aspect of the singer's art, however.
Considerations of musical and performance style, career development, and long-term vocal health are also vital to the successful singer. This exciting new collection of essays is the first book to look at the art of singing in its totality. Written in a direct, non-technical style, On the Art of Singing is a comprehensive manual that deals with all aspects of singing, from the physiology and acoustics of the singing voice to career building. Written by a master singer and instructor well known for his work on the scientific aspects of singing, On the Art of Singing is essential reading for everyone involved in singing of the art and technique of the voice. Everything presented in this book is excellent, thoroughly researched and practised material.
