Just as singers must understand the physical functions of voice in order to become musically proficient and artistically mature, teachers too\u003cbr\u003eneed to have a similar mastery of these ideas - and the ability to explain them to their students - in order to effectively guide their musical and artistic growth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith this singer-instructor relationship in mind, Richard and Ann Alderson's \u003cem\u003eA New Handbook for Singers and Teachers \u003c\/em\u003epresents a fresh, detailed guide about how to sing and how to teach singing. It systematically explores all aspects of the vocal technique - respiration, phonation, resonance, and\u003cbr\u003earticulation - with each chapter containing exercises aimed at applying and teaching these principles. Beyond basic vocal anatomy and singing fundamentals, the handbook also covers such understudied topics as the young voice, the changing voice, and the aging voice, along with helpful chapters for\u003cbr\u003eteachers about how to organize vocal lessons and training plans. Thoughtfully and comprehensively crafted by two authors with decades of singing and teaching experience between them, \u003cem\u003eA New Handbook for Singers and Teachers\u003c\/em\u003e will prove an invaluable resource for singers and teachers at all stages of\u003cbr\u003etheir vocal and pedagogical careers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Richard Alderson, \u003c\/strong\u003eprofessor emeritus of voice and opera, served thirty years in the School of Music of Northwestern University.
