Book Description
This outstanding volume is well-known for its simplicity, inclusiveness, and integrity to the fundamentals of the art of singing. The late Royal Stanton an experienced teacher; the founder of Schola Cantorum, a symphonic choir of 150 voices; and a composer and arranger of many nationally published pieces wrote with the flair to engage and hold the interest of newcomers venturing into the organized process of singing. His nine-step format provides students the opportunity to build on their voice-training achievements. Singing is more than endless exercises and technical devices, and Stanton s methods have proven effective in guiding beginning students from their initial tentative approaches to phonation, to the outer edges of performance and the rudiments of interpretation. Learning the joys of controlled singing in a friendly environment encourages beginners to think of singing as a natural, peer-approved activity.

Book Description
A sequential sight-singing curriculum for all choirs. Each of the six units (containing four lessons each) clearly introduces new music reading concepts, reinforces those concepts with several rhythm and pitch exercises, motivates students with helpful hints and challenge exercises, and concludes with fun-filled review games and "Evaluating Your Performance" questions. The helpful "Getting Ready" pages (which precede each unit) are filled with music fundamentals, and for choirs who have never read music before, an optional "Before We Begin" chapter opens the book. And it's all a neatly laid out publication and a perfect fit for your students. From whole notes to sixteenth-note patterns, seconds to sevenths, key signatures, dynamics, articulations, and tempo markings; it's all here, and it's all logically ordered to insure student success! Spend just a few minutes a day with this book and your choir, too, will learn to "Sing at First Sight!"

Book Description
Sing! 16 Singing Lessons to Teach Your Students - Teacher's Edition provides basic instruction to start a student on a program to improve their voice. Based on the professional teaching methods developed by Jane Edgren at the Vocal Fitness Training studio, this curriculum is an introduction to vocal training and develops basic skills in breathing, articulation, tone, and resonance. It is a program that offers teachers and students a foundation upon which to build further singing study. The teaching plan presented in this Teacher's Edition uses a model of 16 thirty-minute weekly lessons to instruct the student fully in the basic vocal technique to develop the low, middle and medium high range, with an emphasis on vocal fitness. Sing! Teacher's Edition also offers 12-months of free online access to over 100 vocal exercise audio tracks and 30 instructional videos, using the special code printed on the copyright page. Similar in design to piano methods, it introduces vocal exercise in a progressive manner with step-by-step instructions. This specially designed curriculum for the voice teacher or vocal coach guides them through the teaching of the lessons, includes easy to understand vocal science explanations, and 12 worksheets to reinforce the student's learning. Lesson Plans. Each weekly lesson plan spells out the material you will cover with your student, including assignments and reading in the Student Edition of Sing! for the following week. The lesson plans themselves include introductory and/or background information about that week's content and the tools necessary to convey the concepts to your student successfully. Vocal Exercises. The curriculum covers eight basic vocal exercises on nine common vowels. Most exercises use a simple five note descending scale to cover a reasonable section of the vocal range. Forty Practice Plans. Each Practice Plan contains four or more exercise tracks and presents a week's worth of practicing for your student. They are assigned based on the material covered in the Lesson Plan. Additionally, each lesson has corresponding Practice Plans so your students don't have to figure out what to practice on their own. Each Practice Plan has a daily interactive playlist they can use with their smart phone, tablet or computer through the VocalFitnessStudio.com website. Demonstration Videos. Instructional videos help to reinforce the written instructions, and give a more in-depth view on the proper execution of the vocal exercises. Teaching Tips. Helpful hints and background information to assist you with your presentation of the material in your studio. Support for Student Learning. Similar to piano teaching methods, additional resources are available for your students which will support their learning and practicing. The Sing! Voice Student's Edition: Vocal Theory and Exercise Instructions book contains the material presented in the lessons, the vocal exercise instructions, and 12-months of online access to the vocal exercise audio tracks, instructional videos and student worksheets at the VocalFitnessStudio.com website.

Book Description
There are about ten books in the world on stage performance training. Most of them are in English, but there are a few in Spanish. There are none in Russian, although the father of modern theater, Konstantin Stanislavski, was born in Russia. In singing, regardless of genre and style, the element of stage performance is missing. There is no normal training for communicating with the audience. It is accepted by most vocal pedagogues that it is enough to sing the notes correctly, but there is much more to do. For singers who study opera and operetta, it is essential to stretch the limits of performance, and that is why they also study acting. For everyone else, this is not necessary, because they have other tasks on stage. They must learn to self-regulate, not to wait for directional instructions. This book is valuable in that it teaches singers to direct their own stage performance. Representing the author’s conclusions based on careful analysis of a number of successful and unsuccessful stage performances of numerous singers of different stature, it gives them the basic knowledge and guidance on how to approach and develop their show from one song to one concert. It teaches singers how to be more successful on stage, how to be more charismatic and how to manage their audience the way they want.
