Product Description
'Lois Alba is a master teacher,...I have never seen a vocal instructor who got such remarkable results in such a short time' - Irene Dalis, General Director, Opera San Jose. Achieving a successful singing career, especially in opera, can seem almost impossible to many singers because of fear of high notes, lack of projection, and confusion on how to express the music unhampered by technical preoccupation. Master Teacher and accomplished opera singer Lois Alba is aware of these pitfalls. She knows the best teaching involves an acute sense of the art form based on sound, intuition and imagery. The focus comes from the mind. It is interpreted through the ear and the body. When the body and mind come together harmoniously the result is beautiful sound. In this clear and legible guide, Lois Alba shares her formidable experience, voice training insight, and philosophical wisdom about the creative nature of singing. She works to de-program the singer as to the many myths about singing recurring themes that flood vocal studios and ultimately damage voices. "Vocal Rescue" is an amalgamation of many precepts from a large library of rare treatises and the concepts outlined come from the fine art of vocal mastery known as bel canto. The text provides a seven step system that demystifies the secrets to beautiful singing, and promises to take all singers to a new level of technical proficiency and expression. Recorded illustrations on CD/DVD demonstrate the vocal principles with lessons and vocalises for singers in all voice ranges to follow.

Life-changing
1 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
Before I met Lois Alba, I was just another singer in a very competitive business. Ms. Alba and her teaching technique have made my singing what it is today. I am able to use my voice for a wide range of operatic roles because I have been given the correct tools. I feel confident and secure knowing that I have vocal stamina, I can phrase lines via a sound use of the various languages, and I have the facility to sing with abandon and from the heart. Thank you, Lois, for this book which is a must-have for any singer at any level and for your huge contribution to my career.

The best gift any singer could receive...

Format:Hardcover
Lois Alba's book has been a godsend to me and my singing career and is responsible for taking my voice to "the next level." I will be forever grateful to Ms. Alba for distilling into this easy to read and entertaining volume the knowledge and technique she gained through her illustrious international opera career and decades of study with the world's most eminent vocal teachers and coaches. It is truly a goldmine of practical wisdom for singers of any level.

The book is magnificent !!!
9 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
I believe all singers should read it. This book contains everything a singer should know about good, healthy singing and polished artistry. It is the most intelligent book I have ever read about the art of singing. It not only offers guidance in vocal study from Signora Alba, but also includes words of wisdom and vocal exercises used by some of the greatest singers in the world. I found this book the best guide in my vocal studies and I strongly recommend it to every singer.
