This textbook describes the practice and teaching of classical and opera singing using a holistic, physiological, and incremental approach that involves the whole person, understanding
individual physiology, and breaking down singing into manageable components of study. Topics include postural alignment, artistry and performance, hearing and singing, and working with the
professional singer. This edition has a new chapter containing an interview with a voice specialist osteopath on manual therapy and voice; rewritten chapters on teaching and learning in the
context of advances in neuroscience and education; updated chapters on the voice and the brain and vocal and respiratory anatomy and physiology; clarifications on the use of the accent method
of breathing; refinements to chapters on breathing and support, phonation, and resonance; and online access to videos. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
