Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Beginning Singer's Guide is a vocal pedagogy with four practical uses. First, it can be used as a collateral text for studio voice lessons. The teacher can conserve time by assigning relevant reading in the book instead of making lengthy expositions during the lesson. Second, it can be used as a primary text for undergraduate vocal pedagogy classes. Many schools offer a vocal pedagogy class whose enrollment includes singers and future choral conductors. A special chapter for the future choral conductor containing methods and other aids should meet the need for an all-in-one text for this class. Third, it can be used as a practical guide for new voice teachers. A special chapter containing methods for new voice teachers and studio administration will be very useful to the new teacher of voice. Fourth, the book explores subjects not usually covered in music pedagogy books, such as notes on working with a pianist, improving memory, common acting terms, subtexting, and methods for alleviating performance anxiety. These important, yet often disregarded areas, further complement a singer's talent and skill. The author does not espouse any particular 'method' of singing; instead, he applies a universal, scientific approach with the firm belief that singing can be enhanced through further musical knowledge. The sequence of the book follows the natural sequence of learning to sing. The book is rounded out with line art of the vocal mechanism, musical examples, tables outlining the musculature of singing, practical forms, information for the beginning teacher, and a bibliography.

This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). Many of young women who come to Terri Brinegar for vocal lessons aspire to be a professional R&B and pop singer. Often, they know little of what is actually involved, how hard the work is, and how important it is to be a good musician and bandleader. Many may have entered the competitive world of music blindly, with very little guidance to aid them along the way. This book and its accompanying audio present Terri's unique approach to vocal technique, musicianship, gigging, working with a band, stage performance techniques, and much more. In Vocal and Stage Essentials for the Aspiring Female R&B Singer Brinegar shares with her extensive stage experience, her success as a bandleader to some of the greatest musicians in the world, her skills as a musician and songwriter, her training in classical voice, and her years as a vocal coach. Brinegar believes a strong foundation of vocal technique is necessity to success in any style of singing. She is probably one of the few teachers with both a classical background and years of stage experience singing blues and R&B. While there are many books on technique, few, if any, have been written with Brinegar's broad and comprehensive take on the contemporary music industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I think the knowledge presented in the text is hugely important for teachers of singing. In the shadow of ignorance, superstition and misunderstanding rage. Some singers do quite well even if their thinking about the voice is completely nuts but teachers need to understand each other in order to profit from exchange of experience and ideas'. Johan Sundberg The knowledge in this clearly presented text is important for teachers and students of singing and set out in a most imaginative way. The figures are beautiful and simply delightful to look at. Learners can acquire and revise knowledge in multiple and often playful ways. In the shadow of all the mystery and guesswork regarding the structure and function of the vocal instrument, the approach of this book, written from a singer's perspective, with scientific and anatomical accuracy, is a much-needed educational tool. As a manual it offers a universal approach to an understanding of the larynx that will enable pedagogues to engage in a robust and open exchange of experience and ideas with their students. This is an excellent, comprehensive approach that has been written specifically to help singers understand their instrument as the book builds through from basic, colour-coded anatomy to function.
