I am a songwriter/producer/vocal instructer from Los Angeles who now lives in Helsinki Finland. I have been using this book and the techniques in it to train the singers I have been producing here in Finland. I've taught the top singers here in Finland, and some of them have had top 10 hits all over Europe. Bob's book has helped them all. Because of the cd and the diagrams, it's so easy to use and understand that even singers with weak English skills are able to grasp and use the technique. It really works!

Contemporary Singing Techniques by Bob Rose is very informative in teaching you to sing. But let's get right to the point first. Knowing this book well and memorizing the key concepts doesn't make you a superb singer, just like knowing what to eat and how to exercise doesn't make you in better shape than you started. It is the practice that counts and makes the most difference. I wanted to learn to sing so I got this book. After finishing it, I noticed it takes a lot of practice, which requires time and energy. So in comparison, it's like losing weight. If you don't have the time to squeeze in 20-30 minutes or practice a day, this book won't help you much. The CD is excellent because it gives you examples of how to perform the key concepts in the book. For the price, it's well worth it since a hour of singing teachers will cost much more. I don't want to discourage you from learning to sing. Anyone can become a better singing if he/she is willing to learn and master the concepts well.

I'm a professional singer, and Bob's book has helped me more than any other kind of previous vocal instruction. His vocal warmup technique has allowed me to improve my stamina, range, and pitch control. I use the book's CD every day to keep my voice in shape. Audiences and friends have noticed a very significant improvement in my singing. I'd like to personally thank Mr. Rose for improving my singing just in time to record my first CD!
