This ISBN has been out of print since 1994......,
By Insight (Midwest) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: International Phonetic Alphabet for Singers: A Manual for English and Foreign Language Diction (Paperback)
ISBN 1934477060 is the current IN PRINT edition. While NO CONTENT has changed I continue to see music professors specify the Caldwell/PST ISBN while the bookstores actually stock the Pacific Isle Publishing edition, ISBN 1934477060. Those unfortunate students who search online for the PST book ISBN pay from $70 to $250 for a well-used book out of print since 1994, both PST and Caldwell Publishing having gone out of business and the author now contracted with Pacific Isle Publishing.
There is NO Teacher's edition. Both editions are instructional handbooks. More information to support this is provided by the author which can be found at Amazon URL http://www.amazon.com/Diction-Singers-Concise-Reference-Pronunciation/dp/1877761516/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219380455&sr=8-1

4.0 out of 5 stars
A very good way to introduce IPA to young singers,
By Holly Ann Pelletteri (Monticello, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Phonetic Alphabet for Singers: A Manual for English and Foreign Language Diction (Paperback)
I absolutely love this book. It is by far the best publication I have found to teach young singers the basics of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). I found it very easy to understand and their are excellent charts for easy references. Although there are a few ocassional exceptions to rules that could be more easily explained, the basics are taught well. It receives my highest recommendation as a vocal instructor.

A Very Helpful Book for Singers!,
By Kate (WV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Phonetic Alphabet for Singers: A Manual for English and Foreign Language Diction (Paperback)
This book provides the reader/singer with exersises that will help them with diction, communication, pronounciation, and other techniques needed to be an expert singer. If you want to learn the "rules" of singing correctly--here's a good way to start!
