| Abstract | "Yoga, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Pilates, Body Mapping... These techniques all promote optimum vocal performance through mind-body awareness, but where should a singer begin? So You Want to Sing with Awareness welcomes singers into all of these methods, allowing them to explore each option's history and application to singing and determine which methods may best meet their needs as performers. With this unique volume in the So You Want to Sing series, editor Matthew Hoch brings together renowned expert practitioners to explore mind-body awareness systems and introduce cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience and motor learning. Carefully curated for singers' unique needs, the book also includes essential discussions of anatomy and physiology and vocal health."--Publisher's description. |
