Hi Wim,
It's funny that you say this - when I first read "Structure of Singing", I was under that impression too... When I read back on those paragraphs now, I see that I was just being paranoid.
I have a countertenor friend who has worked with him on a number of occasions and apparently, Mr. Miller enjoys working with the countertenor voice *as long as* it is a voice with full closure during phonation. When there is full closure, the countertenor voice can be worked on just like any other bel canto voice. Otherwise, it's just like the "hoot" most people think of when they hear the word falsetto.
Tako Oda, Countertenor
