I teach Vocal Pedagogy and I am so excited to use this book next fall! The writing and illustrations are clear and thorough and I love the holistic approach: taking into account mental/emotional health along with all the other topics. The inclusion of chapters on Alexander Technique, Acupuncture, Yoga for Singers is top-notch. I also appreciate the chapters on CCM techniques and the reports by coaches in the field in both London and New York. What a welcome and refreshing addition to my vocal ped library!
This book covers the basics as well as nuances of voice and singing that are not that well known. Really appreciate the different viewpoints, different authors. Dr. Jahn did a superb job coordinating it all.
Do not let the title fool you ! This text has valuable information for doctors, singers, speech pathologists and any professional that needs to nurture and preserve their speaking voice . With the combination of eastern/western medicine, along with homeopathy, this book in genious. Dr. Jahn is an excellent doctor and this book is truly a spot on example of his unique approach to patient care. The book has collected a variety of treatment ideas from a wide range of professionals , and all chapters are not only interesting but valuable. I learned information not only for the clients I treat as a speech pathologist, but for my own speaking voice when I lecture for other professionals. Highly recommended for a wide audience way beyond the professional singer .
Any questions about health choices we make are included. Anything that will affect singing is detailed, from allergies and ibuprofen to rhinoplasty.
