An absolute must,
By Agnes (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical Voice (Paperback)
A real treat. Clear, incisive, broad-based approach to the distinct but interconnected acts of singing and teaching, with factual information on (for example) anatomy and function, the teaching relationship, posture and breath, interspersed with well chosen case studies, written by probably the most well-respected singing teacher in Britain and quite possibly further afield. A modern approach which offers new insights into singing traditions, backed up with an excellent section of exercises, all of which I have used and which work. Lessons with Janice are hard to come by - she has a long list of professionals on her books. Not as good as a lesson, but the next best thing. If you only buy one book on singing this year, this should be it. Highly recommended.

Excellent read,

This review is from: Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical Voice (Paperback)
There's a little bit of everything in this book- it's a brilliant. It's written by a woman who is held in high esteem amongst singers and teachers alike. It covers anatomy and physiology and the practical application of vocal techniques. Although it's written for classical singers some of the dysfunctional vocal habits discussed are as applicable to contemporary singers as they are to classical.
This book is probably more suited to those individuals who already have an understanding of the mechanics of the voice.

A Fantastic Manual for Anyone Interested in Singing,
By
This review is from: Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical Voice (Paperback)
This book will give you a really good grounding in vocal technique. It is easy to read - particularly the chapters by Janice herself and I use it as a reference book very frequently in my work as a singing teacher and singer. Janice's book was extremely long awaited and has certainly not disappointed! The exercises section at the back is particularly useful but it is a book that I dip into at least once a week and always provides me with food for thought and inspiration.
