Voice
and the Alexander Technique
by Jane Ruby Heirich
Published
2011 150 pages Paperback Book + CD
This book,
with accompanying CD, is designed for both teachers and students of the
speaking and singing voice. Jane Heirich addresses some common problem areas
of the voice-teaching world - breath management, voice projection, resonance
building, breaks in the vocal range, and the relevance of overall poise to
vocal output. The step-by-step approach through which she takes the reader
allows new skills to develop for both beginning and experienced
students/performers.
This book
is the culmination of decades of work integrating two approaches that will have
a profound impact on your voice; the centuries-old Italian bel canto singing
tradition and the FM Alexander Technique.
Note: The
hardback edition (ISBN 09644352-5-x) published in 2005 is no longer available.
This second edition in paperback was published in September 2011.
