Anthony Jahn, MD, internationally-acclaimed for his work as an
"opera doctor" with some of the most prestigious opera companies in
the world, offers a thorough and comprehensible guidebook on all
aspects of health and disease that affect the voice. A vital tool
for singers, voice instructors, and choral directors without formal
medical training, The Singer's Guide to Complete Health empowers
vocal performers to take charge of their own minds and bodies.
Along with a full range of experts, Jahn provides advice about the
various health disorders that affect professional well-being as
well as remedies to the most important and common health problems
that singers face in their careers. Jahn has invited a diverse
group of health care specialists and music professionals to share
their expertise and tips with singers and instructions. The
chapters cover a broad range of topics, including psychological
well-being, age-related changes, travel, diet, and exercise,
accompanied by easy-to-follow illustrations, diagrams and charts.
Each chapter provides a clear explanation of the relevant vocal
anatomy, as well as detailed descriptions of the most troublesome
disorders for singers. The book enables singers to make informed
decisions about their own health, and gives guidance on seeking
appropriate professional help and self-remedies. It includes
numerous suggestions on ways to maintain a healthy vocal lifestyle,
not only with traditional methods such as diet, exercise, and
Alexander technique, but also holistic approaches such as yoga, tai
chi, acupuncture, and Chinese herbs. The book also features
assistance for singers who are interested in osteopathic,
chiropractic, and craniosacral therapies. A comprehensive blend of
professional voice expertise and medical science, The Singer's
Guide to Complete Health is an essential addition to bookshelves
and medicine cabinets of all professional and aspiring singers and
instructors.
