Basics of Singing

This comprehensive introductory text has helped a generation of non-singers find their voice and thousands of amateur singers sing even better just as it will help you. In Part One, you will learn about principles of voice production, breathing, basic vocal health, learning to read music, how to learn a song, performance techniques, musicianship, and song interpretation. Part Two provides you with an anthology of 60 songs--folk, musical theater, art songs, songs of faith, duets, and rounds (for group performance). A separate CD set is available that includes all the melodies and accompaniments for the song anthology.Jan Schmidt is the author of 'Basics of Singing', published 2007 under ISBN 9780495115311 and ISBN 0495115312.
