Singers must know and understand the anatomic and physiologic functions connected with the speaking and singing process in order to feel in control of the process, says Bickel. Based on that
premise, she presents a textbook use in voice lessons or a voice class at the college or university level, though parts of it might be suitable for very dedicated high school students. Her
topics include the anatomy of the singer’s instrument: design and function, establishing correct posture for singing, an introduction to articulation and lyric diction for singers, keeping your
voice healthy, and beyond vocal technique: becoming an artistic performer. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
