Review
Baldy s writing style is instantly warm; initial impressions of this book are akin to working with a familiar mentor in a lesson or masterclass situation. This approachable writing style enables the reader to absorb the ideas and techniques that Baldy so clearly advocates... Vocal research is an ever increasing and often confusing field. This volume stands out from the wealth of available material for its ease of reading and strong introduction to vocal physiology... --The Singer
Colin Baldy has been clear and concise and throughout he speaks directly to the reader and provides examples wherever he can. As an introduction, The Student Voice has some useful information and provocative points for further discussion and research particularly for the enquiring student. The section, Repertoire with Purpose, could be useful to novice teachers and, again, thought provoking for the more experienced. --Newsletter of the British Voice Association
Singers at all levels of proficiency will find The Student Voice useful. The book contains an overview of the voice, how it works, how to keep it healthy, and advice on singing optimally. The premise that production is based upon the response to text will instruct neophytes and remind experienced singers that singing is both emotional and physical. Baldy is unflaggingly realistic, yet unfailing optimistic. The latter is apparent from the first sentence of the book: Singing is easy, the author proclaims, and in an orderly fashion, Baldy provides the means to make it so. Students will find this book encouraging, engaging, and enlightening. --Journal of Singing

Product Description
With a Foreword by Sir Thomas Allen. This book is written for students of singing. Whilst primarily designed for undergraduate and graduate level students, it will also be of use to mature singers and to those already in the singing profession, who simply want to keep their technique and knowledge alive. Over a successful career as a singing teacher for more than a quarter of a century, Colin Baldy has been frustrated by the lack of suitable reading materials aimed specifically at the student of the singing voice. He hopes that this book will be a useful resource, not only to students, but also to their teachers who undoubtedly receive frequent requests for such a book. The book includes a certain amount of physiology, enough but not too much, with suggested exercises and methods for developing the correct use of that physiology. It suggests a suitable repertoire to run alongside the exercises, and contains a large amount of trouble-shooting advice. The author s intention is to encourage the singing student and to assist them in avoiding common pitfalls. It is also hoped that the book may help singers to identify vocal problems which they may already have developed.

Brilliant book,
This review is from: The Student Voice: An Introduction to Developing the Singing Voice (Paperback)
A fantastic, well written book by Colin Baldy. I recommend this to any young singer who is interested in learning more about the development of the voice and the essentials required for training and nurturing that voice. I picked a copy of this book up when I sung in a masterclass with Colin and it has provided me with great advice ever since.

A thoughtful and valuable book,
By discerningreader (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Student Voice: An Introduction to Developing the Singing Voice (Paperback)
One of the best books, of many, that I have come across on the subject of singing.It provides excellent practical advice on technique, repertoire, care of the voice and, most importantly, the mindset of the successful classical singer. The author presents a clear and readable description of the vocal mechanism and the physicality of singing. He provides the reader with encouragement and guidance, while at the same time being clear about the performing standards that should apply when singing for others. There are many books already available with exercises of the opera stars, the scales sung by Caruso etc. However, the author here is giving an insight into how the modern professional singer thinks, and the approach that aspiring singers should take as they build their voice and career. An excellent guide for teachers and students alike and a valuable addition to any singer's library.

A must-have for singers,
By the second Mrs de Winter (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Student Voice: An Introduction to Developing the Singing Voice (Paperback)
This is an immensely clear, scientific but readable singing tutor which will be invaluable for singers at all levels. Basically, what the author advises will work if you put it into practice, and you'll find yourself making a better sound very quickly. He's obviously passionate about his subject, too, so that the book when you read it is a lovely mixture of the down-to-earth and the inspirational. Highly recommended.
