Every music teacher needs this one!
This is not a book that teaches you how to conduct a four-pattern or sequence your rehearsal; it does teach vocal anatomy, vocal health, and pedagogy, and is especially good for the choral director who is a pianist or instrumentalist. It can also be useful for voice teachers and singers. The book contains information on anatomy and physilogy of the voice; medical care of voice disorders; ...
