| Abstract | This book explores every major aspect of the singing voice--its history, physiology, capabilities, and the extraordinary careers that have been based on what James Joyce called "two tiny, silken cords more wonderful than any other". The author also takes up the hotly disputed topics of breathing technique, proper teaching methods, and registers, presenting arguments made by coaches, teachers, and singers over the centuries to present day. |
