The Contemporary Singer: Elements of Vocal Technique (Berklee Guide) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a classical singer and have been an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music for 12 years and I have been extremely impressed with this book.Even though the book is called "The Contemporary Singer", it is a valuable resource for any singer.It covers specific technical areas in a clear, direct manner but also includes wonderful guidelines for topics like practicing, vocal health and performance skills.In the CD that accompanies the book, a variety of warm-up exercises are covered which are very thorough and progresses naturally.I would recommend this book to the beginning student as well as someone who just needs to reinforce their vocal technique.

Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer (Vocal) (Berklee Press) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because it's one of the textbooks I will be using for my course.The first time I tried the warm up for all voices and the basic workout, my 6-year old son who could hear me doing it was immediately attracted to the lively workout and joined me without being invited---imitating all he could hear from the cds too.I truly love this book and cd.

Berklee Practice Method: Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book for anyone that wants to play keyboards in a band. Unlike a lot of other "learn piano" books, this one is really light on the hand-holding at the beginning, which made me really glad. There is a decent amount of theory and it is presented early on, which I think is important.

I inadvertently found myself in an indie rock band not long ago and this book has helped me out considerably since it's much more practical than a lot of beginner's piano books. You will start learning to improvise and harmonize with other band members very early instead of playing yawn-inducing songs such as Ode to Joy.
