So many who love to sing are drawn to the immediacy and essential
simplicity of the music we commonly call folk. Folk music, in fact,
can serve as the perfect entry point for those just starting on
their singing careers because of the ways in which it sidesteps the
strictures of classical forms without giving up the fundamentals of
professional singing techniques. In So You Want to Sing Folk Music,
singer and writer Valerie Mindel demystifies this sprawling genre,
looking at a variety of mainly traditional American musical styles
as well as those of the folk revival that continues in various
forms to this day. The aim is to help the fledgling singer better
understand the scope of folk music and find his or her voice in the
genre, looking at the "how" of creating a vocal sound that reflects
a folk-based style. The book looks at specific repertories and ways
of approaching them in terms of both working up material and
performing it. It also looks at some of the realities of folk music
in the twenty-first century that affect both amateurs and
professionals. Additional chapters by Scott McCoy, Wendy LeBorgne,
and Matthew Edwards address universal questions of voice science
and pedagogy, vocal health, and audio enhancement technology. The
So You Want to Sing series is produced in partnership with the
National Association of Teachers of Singing. Like all books in the
series, So You Want to Sing Folk Music features online supplemental
material on the NATS website. Please visit www.nats.org to access
style-specific exercises, audio and video files, and additional
resources.
