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.

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.

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.

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's book cogently explains, chapter by chapter, the art of singing. I especially appreciated her incorporation of the Bernoulli principle and the singer's formant, explained in clear and concise language. Perfect book for any vocal pedagogy class, or for beginning high school or college level private voice teachers. High recommendations.

I received the book in a timely manner and am pleased with the seller. The book has lots of good information for any vocalist wanting to know more about their instrument. I will keep this book even though it was a required text for vocal pedagogy. Thanks
