Reviews

"With the publication of The Vocal Athlete, singers and voice teachers now have access to a remarkable, unprecedented collection of resources. The breadth and comprehensiveness of this two-volume set are remarkable - The phenomenon of the "hybrid singer" has led to the proliferation of a "hybrid teacher" - Early responses suggest that this kind of teacher will find "The Vocal Athlete" to be an incredibly valuable resource, a compendium of some of the best and most current thinking in the field, complemented by a thoughtful review of the scientific literature. - [The companion] workbook and CD provide both teachers and students with the opportunity to explore some of the best practices of the world's top pedagogues..." --Charlie Gilbert, The SAVI Singing Actor (9/8/2014)
