During the past decades, Dynamics of the singing voice has successfully been
established as a reference text for teachers of singing, singers, choral
conductors and organists, speech and voice therapists, laryngologists and other
health professionals, psychologists and those in linguistics. It discusses the
physiological, psychological, musical and emotional aspects of the voice,
particularly as they relate to singing but also to speaking. The book provides
a greater understanding of how the voice works and the many factors involved in
singing as well as an objective discussion of singing without reference to
specific techniques. In this fifth edition, the author has now updated and
rearranged the content. Furthermore she has added a new chapter on vocal
pedagogic aspects in order to meet the requirements of the art of singing of
the 21st century. Thus this new book provides the reader with the established
concepts in combination with the latest knowledge about modern approaches to
the singing voice.
