Opis

This 50th anniversary edition of Cornelius L. Reid's The Free Voice approaches the teaching of singing in a functional, as opposed to mechanistic, way. Through exercises based on an understanding of the vocal registers and how specific patterns of pitch, intensity, and vowel affect the vocal folds, the singer can develop a well-balanced and coordinated voice and sing without force.

Recenzje

Cornelius Reid's advocacy of vocal health is based on a simple but solid foundation: the play of opposing forces within the vocal mechanism. The Free Voice abounds in probing insights and constructive advice of use to all enterprising singers. A joy to read and re-read!

O autorze

Cornelius L. Reid (1911-2008) began his studies in music at Trinity Church Choir School in New York City as a boy soprano in 1920. His teaching career began as assistant to Dr. Douglas Stanley from 1934 to 1937. From that point on, he developed his own school of functional vocal training based on Italian methods of the pre-scientific era, combined with insights afforded by modern concepts of physiology, acoustics, and psychology.
