Synopsis

The Vocal Coach Approach (When Practice Makes Perfect) by Susan Ashbaker joins a short, but distinguished list of books that should be considered essential for all who instruct and guide young performers of Opera and Art Song. It goes without saying that young singers can benefit greatly from listening to professionals who offer their experience and knowledge of performance traditions and communicate the information in an organized, logical manner. But good coaches who understand voices and vocal technique and have extensive knowledge of repertoire are very hard to find. Books written by professional voice coaches who can also share expertise in the intricacies of the business aspects of Classical Singing are fewer still. In this book, Susan helps young singers work toward a synthesis of music, text, and style, utilizing all three of these components to fully enliven a character, a story line, and/or an event. Many young singers will never enjoy the benefits of working in person with a coach like Susan—one who has conducted operas, played piano reductions of opera scores, coached and accompanied for art song recitals, directed young artists’ programs, and run entire opera companies. Drawn from a long and highly successful and productive career, Susan has skillfully distilled her knowledge into this handy toolbox for singers. The techniques and insights she shares will guide singers and their teachers as they tackle challenges of style, diction, and phrasing, and work toward a form of vocal expression that more faithfully reveals the intentions of both composer and poet. The Vocal Coach Approach (When Practice Makes Perfect) should be required reading for anyone wishing to be involved in the development of the next generation of great singers. --Christopher Arneson, Director of Voice Pedagogy, Westminster Choir College at Rider University (International customers are urged to visit the Inside View Press website and order electrionic editions, which have NO delivery issues.
