Telfer, Nancy: Singing High Pitches With Ease (Book)

Be the first to review this product

Strategies and solutions for conductors, conductors-in-training & voice teachers.

Lots of great ideas, arranged in a "strategy/warm-up activity/rehearsal activity" format for each concept. There are a lot of words here, so it's not something that you can quickly glance at before a rehearsal and put into practice right away before absorbing the goals and the strategies for achieving them, but it's a great resource to have on hand for conductors and voice teachers. (80 pp., softcover)
