This second edition of Esther Salaman's acclaimed book comes with added ideas and exercises. The message though is still the same: singing at all stages and the personality behind the voice - the aspirations, fears and courage we need to explore our invisible instrument. The book covers every aspect of voice production and the author's appreciation of the Bel Cantists underlies all her work. She gives a detailed plan for vocal health, as well as technical exercises in the form of musical examples. Singers of all ages, teachers and choir trainers will find it immensley helpful. The book included an analysis of Schubert's 'An die Musik'.

Foreword by: Mark Elder
