Teaching Singing to Children and Young Adults

Practical, concise and easy to read, Teaching Singing to Children and Young Adults is a hands on guide to vocal pedagogy. It explains the abilities and limitations of young singers through the various stages of their lives, outlines appropriate technique - including approaches suitable for different musical styles, adolescence and gender - and provides anatomical descriptions and sample exercises throughout. Packed with illustrative case studies and illuminated with original artwork, the book also addresses topics such as the teaching of children with special educational needs, vocal health, and the structuring of lessons, warm-ups and individual practice times. Separately available is a companion DVD that perfectly illuminates the singing exercises in the book.
