The Italian singing technique Bel Canto instructs, "He who knows
how to breathe and how to pronounce, knows how to sing." Singing:
The First Art incorporates the techniques of Bel Canto along with
those of masters like Berton Coffin and Manuel Garcia to promote
and facilitate vocal excellence. Many concepts are described, from
correct posture and alignment to improving and maintaining proper
breathing, from good pronunciation and diction to producing an
even, pure tone, and from vocal ranges to singing within and
smoothly shifting between vocal registers. Mannes Vocal Faculty
member Dan H. Marek effectively breaks down these complicated
concepts with clear exercises, helping the vocal student to achieve
freedom and complete control over his or her instrument. A primary
section on the history of singing stresses the importance of
understanding vocal history while inspiring and motivating the
student through the experiences of opera stars such as Enrico
Caruso, Maria Callas, and Jussi Bjoerling. The second section
explains vocal techniques, including the use and proper
pronunciation of the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), and
provides 64 specific exercises with clearly defined goals designed
to overcome faults and to develop vocal virtuosity. Complete
instructions for transposing the exercises for both male and female
voices are included, as well as drawings of the exercises, musical
examples from vocal literature, excellent anatomical illustrations
by Frank Netter, MD, and copious photographs of opera stars.
Singing: The First Art is an invaluable text for students,
professionals, singers, conductors, composers, and vocal medical
professionals, or anyone interested in understanding and
appreciating the vocal art.
