I've almost completed an annotated vocal pedagogy bibliography in HTML format. I can send it to you if you want(I'm a 44 year old baritone with very limited pedagogical experience, however). Our prof. uses The Structure of Singing by Richard Miller, which I can recommend. In my searching I have discovered a few books which stand out: Dynamics of the Singing Voice by Meribeth Bunch doesn't have vocal exercises, but it has very clear illustrations of vocal anatomy and descriptions of phenomena; Training tenor voices, by R. Miller, is good not just for tenors, particularily since it interprets sonagrams nicely - the recent Training soprano voices goes even further in this respect. Every book I've ever read about singing has something I can disagree with, so I would advise: don't look for perfection, nor set up any authority as the final one. john
