Subject:  Re: [vocalist-temporary] Book: Steps to Singing


I recommend Clifton Ware's book -- can't think of the title now. I've used
Stanton, and don't care for several of the chapters which are about "why we
choose to sing" and other psychological questions which i found the students
did not want to deal with -- most of them just want to learn how to sing and
to start into it right away without that type of delving. Ware's chapters on
anatomy and physiology are excellent, as well; there are several good
exercises (not that you wouldn't have plenty of your own) and the chapter on
vowels and consonants is also excellent IMHO.
