Book Reviews of Training Tenor Voices
Book Review: A must-read for any tenor
Summary: 5 Stars
The late Richard Miller proves that he is one of the world's foremost experts on the tenor voice. Rather than spewing out subjective information and old wives tales about singing, it condenses singing tenor into specific quantities of scientific and anatomical variables that is quite easy to follow for anyone with a basic background in vocal and laryngeal structure. It then goes on to give excercises, and backs up this knowledge with good, practical information that will directly apply to singing and dramatically improve any tenor singer. It lists the common tenor problems, how they are fixed, and discusses specific problems within each subcategory of tenor voice (leggiero, lyrico, spinto, dramatic). A great tool for teachers and students alike, this book gives cold hard facts and solutions to singing tenor.
Summary of Training Tenor Voices
Performance demands on the tenor exceed those of every other vocal category, often necessitating more vocal stamina and greater dramatic subtlety. Moreover, teaching the several categories of the tenor voice presents teachers of singing with a series of problems not encountered with any other voice type. The tenor voice remains, in short, a mystery to most audiences and teachers alike. Training Tenor Voices presents a unique combination of historical and pedagogical information on how tenors sing. Designed as a practical program for singers, teachers, and voice professionals, the book places emphasis on the special nature of the tenor voice and the proper physiological functioning that leads to the establishment of vocal proficiency. It supplies practical information on instruction for each category of the tenor voice; recommends the kinds of literature to sing and to avoid; and provides an effective system for voice building, including registration factors, techniques for breath coordination, vowel modification ("covering"), resonance balancing, range extension, the development of vocal agility, and maintaining the high tessitura and sostenuto. The book also includes dozens of technical exercises; numerous anatomical illustrations; musical examples; the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols; unique spectrographic analyses of such famous tenors as Jussi Bjoerling, Franco Corelli, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti; a glossary of terms; and a bibliography.Instruments & Performers Books
