Product Description
An understanding of how the singing voice functions should be a prerequisite for all those who wish to teach singing. And fundamental to any safe and efficient teaching method is the recognition that the singing voice is a functional unit. Consequently, this second edition, like the first, describes the anatomy and physiology of breathing and phonation and examines the acoustical laws necessary for an understanding of resonation. It is designed primarily as a textbook for college vocal pedagogy courses. The updated edition includes more detailed illustrations and an expansion of the appendix on vocal misuse and abuse, including data on subglottic air pressure/air flow ratios, the phonatory mode known as belting, and the aging voice, especially as it is affected by hormonal changes in the body. With extensive bibliography.

 Excellent vocal technique book. December 27, 2008
This is an excellent and thorough book on vocal technique. Very well-written. Very erudite and informative. And, it's an interesting read. No gimmickry here, just solid, science-based information.
Excellent overview of vocal mechanism September 22, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book gives a comprehensive look at all the physiological aspects of singing, including the mechanisms of breathing, phonation, and resonance. It also addresses posture, anatomy of the larynx, and other related topics. It is a great book for anyone planning to teach any type of singing. I also recommend McKinney's Diagnoses and Corrections of Vocal Faults as a companion book.
 A Fabulous and READABLE Reference for a Music Student! November 4, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am not a singer. In fact, I'm the one on the other side of the microphone in front of the mix board. As a part of a audio term paper, I found this book amazing. After pouring over books which made me quickly revert to 10 from 38, Ms. Doscher's book was a breath of fresh air. Amazingly readable and comprehendable!
Thank you!

Doscher does an excellent job of organizing the pedagogy of the voice into a comprehensive, easy to read format. This book is a must for anyone starting out in vocal pedagogy, and an excellent reference to have in the studio.
