The Right Way to Sing

by Linda Marquart

For everyone who has wanted to be a better singer, here is the step-by-step program to singing like a pro. Amateur and fledgling professional singers, beginning and advanced music students, choral conductors, music teachers, voice coaches, and others will find tips to proper breathing, resonance, and interpretation�based on sound physiological principles.

Starting with the basics and continuing to advanced techniques, this book covers vocal categories, the most common terms used in singing, how range and resonance play their part in categorizing individual voices, and much more. A thorough discussion is provided on the role of vowels and consonants, revealing how to produce a flowing sound while making each word understood. A special chapter on vocal technique covers the details of posture, breath control, placement, and color. Singers will find a variety of vocal exercises and special tips for sight reading, learning music, and recognizing different musical forms.

Also included are suggestions for further study and the process of finding a singing teacher, as well as answers to a variety of questions that are frequently asked of singing teachers by their students.

Reviews

�Linda Marquart�s approach is refreshingly direct and her text well written, free from intimidating jargon. She does a particularly good job of writing in a manner that should appeal to a wide range of aspiring vocalists, whether their interest is in classical or popular disciplines.�
�Choir & Organ

�This excellent book takes a positive, yet pragmatic approach to matters both anatomical and technical. Marquart succeeds in putting into words many of the concepts that singing teachers and choir directors demonstrate vocally, but can be so hard to describe on the page.�
�The Church Music Quarterly, the official publication of the Royal School of Church Music
