Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical
Voice, Fourth Edition continues to be a beloved resource for
singers and their teachers, speech-language pathologists, and
laryngologists and an adopted text for instructors and students in
voice, singing, and performing arts courses. Janice L. Chapman is
able to draw on her experiences as a singer with some of the
world's leading opera companies to present a teaching technique
specifically focusing on voice in the areas of classical and opera
singing. Interspersed with the concepts and components of Chapman's
methods are vignettes from her life and career, animated by her
conversational and vibrant style to guide (and entertain) the
reader through the book in a step-by-step fashion. The philosophy
of teaching presented combines three main facets: Holistic,
Physiological, and Incremental. The Holistic segment emphasizes
that the act of singing involves the whole person (i.e., body,
mind, spirit, emotion, and voice); the Physiological segment
stresses anatomy, muscular function, and effects of muscular
interactions so that students and teachers alike can understand and
visualize the functional workings of the torso, larynx, and the
vocal tract and their impact on good singing practices; and the
Incremental section shows that the act of singing and the teaching
of singing can be broken down into manageable components that have
a natural hierarchy that eventually interact and interlock. This
teaching model provides a framework to master one element at a
time, with the resulting effect of a complete and integrated
mastery of technique. Chapman recommends this framework for
rehabilitative work with the dysfunctional singer, for working with
the developing singer, and for the ongoing development and
maintenance of the technically able professional singer. New to the
