What Every Singer Needs to Know About the Body
Author: Melissa Malde, D.M.A., Kurt-Alexander Zeller, D.M.A, MaryJean Allen, M.M.

The second edition includes: updated and expanded content, new images and exercises on breathing, updated chapter on physical expression, new material about visual focus and facial expressions, many updates and extensions in response to reader feedback, and a useful glossary. How well do you know your body? Well, the "here's how" and "what's wh... more »at" of your vocal instrument your entire body, not just the larynx are contained succinctly, clearly, and simply in this practical new book. What Every Singer Needs to Know About the Body gives singers and their teachers a Body Mapping resource from anatomy and physiology to body awareness that helps them discover and correct misconceptions about the way their bodies are built and the way they function. In doing so, it provides maps with detailed descriptions of the structures and movement used in breathing, phonation, resonance, articulation and gesture illuminated with numerous illustrations and supported by many exploratory exercises. Because the structures and movements inherent in the vocal instrument are the same for every singer, they apply equally to every kind of singing. Differences in style result from differences in the choice of movement. Understanding and mapping the structures and movements used in singing provides the technical foundation for all singers. The purpose of this book is to provide singers with that foundation. This book does not espouse a single method or attempt to teach singing techniques. Rather, it describes the movements of singing with accuracy and detail so that singers may experiment on their own and communicate with each other more effectively. This has never been done before and it is a substantial contribution to music education in general and the education of singers in particular. In one author s words, "This book is needed because singers deserve to know the truth about their bodies. There are many pedagogy books that present the anatomy and physiology without helping singers find its practical application. There are books that take a holistic approach without sufficient anatomical and physiological detail. What Every Singer Needs to Know About the Body will strike a balance, giving singers the information they need and the tools to embody it so that they can use the whole body for creative vocal expression. It will de-mystify the process of singing, opening up a world of artistic choice. The first edition of his title is also available in a Japanese translation. "
