Voice and Speech Review

One may easily pick up this book and go directly to a chapter of interest, but one of the revelatory insights of reading it start-to-finish is how often concepts overlap and reinforce one another across these varied modalities. As a teacher, it’s a reminder of how many influences and experiences are drawn upon every day in an attempt to assist students. So You Want to Sing with Awareness is recommended for teachers looking to infuse their studio teaching with fresh ideas, and for the singer who is ready to delve into self-examination as a path of vocal discovery.

So You Want to Sing with Awareness is a wonderfully thorough text covering many aspects of mindful voice teaching and study. Each chapter is written by high-level specialists in our field and supported by great visual images. This volume is an incredible resource for teachers of singing, students, and professional singers looking to enhance their understanding of the mind-body-voice connection. I look forward to using this volume to support my teaching and ongoing integration of mind-body work in the studio and classroom.

Sincerest praise for this in-depth study on body awareness methods for singers. This should be required reading for all students of vocal performance and pedagogy. As a long-time yogi, I can attest to the immeasurable benefits my practice has brought not only to the physical aspects of my vocal technique, but also the mental focus that has been so valuable to me in my career both onstage and off. This is a must read for the singer who wishes for a long and healthy career!
