A Systematic Approach to Voice: The Art of Studio Application 1st Edition

So full of useful info!

Bought this for my Vocal Pedagogy class. This book is a nice read and informative for my course.

Dr. Ragan has written a comprehensive pedagogy book for voice teachers of all styles. She outlines a voice science informed approach for voice training that is well written and easy to follow. This book includes numerous exercises and suggestions to augment each chapter. A must have resource for voice teachers !!!Marci Rosenberg, Speech Pathologist/ Voice & Singing Specialist, co-author of The Vocal Athlete

This is a very good and thorough guide to the nuts and bolts of vocal pedagogy. Very helpful vocalises and exercises along with succinct but sufficient anatomical explanations. I would give the book 5 stars but it suffers from repeated identity politic phrases that muddle the authors intent at times. Other than that it is superb.

This is a fabulous book in the tradition of Richard Miller's The Structure of Singing, but with inclusion of CCM techniques and discussion. Dr. Ragan fills the book with topic-by-topic description of aspects of singing with generous vocal and physical exercises to apply in the studio. A perfect resource for new voice teachers, and for those of us who are experienced and wish to implement fresh new ideas in our studios. I loved her concise, detailed writing style and her well-organized vocal exercise ideas. She recommends some interesting and useful props for breath work and resonance, as well. I have already recommended this book to my former students who have graduated and are out teaching others. A worthy volume that should become a new classic!
