Book Description
In this innovative book, Theodore Dimon, EdD, shows how each part of the vocal organ (breathing, larynx, throat, and so on) works as part of a larger musculoskeletal system that is often interfered with, and how identifying this larger system and understanding in a practical way how it works allows a person to train and improve the voice, whether speaking or singing. Traditional vocal training methods, says Dimon, cannot be effective without restoring the functioning of the musculature that supports the voice. Enhanced with over 50 detailed full-color illustrations, the book discusses the fallacy of traditional breathing exercises and explains that the key to efficient breathing lies in the expansive support of the trunk and rib cage. Investigating the elements needed to produce a strong supported tone, Dimon describes the importance of voice “placement,” or directing the sound to a part of the body in order to produce a fully rounded, resonant tone. He identifies harmful patterns of speech and singing, and offers helpful methods for reestablishing the natural function of the vocal mechanism. Individual chapters cover elements of the whispered “ah,” producing a pure sung tone, vocal registers, the suspensory muscles of the larynx, and more.

Book Description
Singing the Body Electric explores the relationship between the human voice and technology, offering startling insights into the ways in which technological mediation affects our understanding of the voice, and more generally, the human body. From the phonautograph to magnetic tape and now to digital sampling, Miriama Young visits particular musical and literary works that define a century-and-a-half of recorded sound. She discusses the way in which the human voice is captured, transformed or synthesised through technology. This includes the sampled voice, the mechanical voice, the technologically modified voice, the pliable voice of the digital era, and the phenomenon by which humans mimic the sounding traits of the machine. The book draws from key electro-vocal works spanning a range of genres - from Luciano Berio's Thema: Omaggio a Joyce to Radiohead, from Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room, to Björk, and from Pierre Henry's Variations on a Door and a Sigh to Christian Marclay's Maria Callas. In essence, this book transcends time and musical style to reflect on the way in which the machine transforms our experience of the voice. The chapters are interpolated by conversations with five composers who work creatively with the voice and technology: Trevor Wishart, Katharine Norman, Paul Lansky, Eduardo Miranda and Bora Yoon. This book is an interdisciplinary enterprise that combines music aesthetics and musical analysis with literature and philosophy.

Book Description
The Singing Body - A Vocalist's Companion is testimony to the fact that singing is a highly complicated act of coordination. Every single part of the body plays an important role in the act of singing, and those parts which don't function properly can hinder it. Being fully aware of one's physical functioning is an essential tool in intensifying the constructive role that the body plays. The work begins with posture, the necessary physical warm-up, widening the repertoire of movement, relaxing and strengthening muscles, breathing exercises, relaxation and the sense of balance-all of which enhance the singer's abilities. Thereafter, the book addresses topics such as movement and presence on the stage before an audience. Physical action during singing is, in essence, individual but Iris Goren's work is often conducted in a master-class, ensuring every singer gets individual attention as well as the opportunity to perform before the class.There are suggestions for diagnosing specific problems encountered by singers as they work on specific pieces. This is a highly-focused approach which works with each individual singer or performer in his/her own right. It also includes line drawings which give a very precise visual representation of the concepts and exercises proposed in the text, thus facilitating their use and understanding. There are also some specific innovations: the combination of body-work with the physical act of singing, which characterizes Goren's work with singers; and sections such as "Sensing and action according to body weight" and "Observation, listening and touch" provide diagnostic tools for understanding the problems of singers which occur during performance.The book is organized into chapters which introduce fundamental concepts, such as breathing, posture and assessment, each of which is subdivided into specific topics within the principle of the chapter. For example: Chapter 1, Posture and Stance, includes sections on grounding, physical warm-up, muscle tone, and more. Information and exercises come together to demonstrate the technique proposed and ensure fullest possible comprehension of the work.The Singing Body is distinctive in that it is not based on a particular theory of body-work (like Alexander, or Feldenkrais), but rather encompasses several decades of intensive experience of working with a multi-disciplinary approach. It takes the most important elements from a range of theories and techniques which have been found to be most relevant to this work with singers. Other writers have separated body-work from singing; but it is precisely by combining the two and working in this way that singers are helped to work correctly on the individual body and voice.

Book Description
Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.
