Download or read book Selecting Solo Literature for the Developing Classical Singer written by Amanda Lauricella and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selecting appropriate solo repertoire for singers of various technical stages and voice types presents a challenging but critical task for teachers of voice. A student's vocal technique may blossom only with repertoire that is well-suited for their age, voice type, and level of technical achievement. Repertoire should enhance a student's artistic strengths while providing an opportunity for growth in both vocal technique and language skills. The following document addresses a number of overarching questions: (1) how can voice teachers and students use repertoire as a tool for vocal growth? (2) what are the various factors of a given piece of music that determine whether that piece is suitable for a given student at a given time? and (3) how can repertoire enhance a student's strengths while, at the same time, provide an opportunity for growth? There is a fine line between assigning repertoire with the potential to elevate the student's vocal technique and repertoire that presents pedagogical challenges too early in the student's vocal development. The latter may lead to the singer compensating in unhealthy ways to sing a piece that exceeds their capability and, therefore, can hinder the singer's development rather than facilitate it. Because of this potential danger, repertoire selection is perhaps the most critical task for teachers of developing singers. The objective of the following document is to provide a guide that enables voice teachers to appropriately select solo repertoire, both art song and operatic arias, according to three variables: (1) the student's voice type (soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, bass), (2) the desired language of the repertoire (English, Italian, German, French), and (3) the level of technical difficulty, with both vocal and language considerations.

Download or read book A Solo Vocal Literature Guide written by Diane Krenik Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research question addressed in this project was, in what ways would a guide for selecting vocal solo literature influence the future practice of music selection for the studio voice teacher and the choral music director? The author researches the process and practice of selecting solo vocal literature by private studio teachers, choral directors and collegiate specialists teaching voice. The study included voice and literature research from the VoiceCare Network entitled Bodymind and Voice: Foundations of Voice Education. Additionally two vocal literature guides were compared and contrasted: The Minnesota Music Teacher's Association (MMTA) and the National Association Teacher's of Singing (NATS). Data was collected and summarized through interviews and surveys from private voice teachers, choral directors and collegiate voice specialists. The best research data was combined to create a sample vocal literature guide for 15 and 16 year old students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many similarities between solo and choral singing, they are not the same discipline, and it is important to realize the different approaches necessary for each. In The Solo Singer in the Choral Setting: A Handbook for Achieving Vocal Health, Olson presents the unique perspective of choral singing from a soloist's viewpoint, providing a clear outline of several issues facing the solo singer in the choral setting. She discusses concepts as diverse as body position in rehearsal and acoustic sound production, and she offers practical ideas for solving these challenges. Teaching examples and case studies help illustrate the problems and offer potential solutions for handling the challenges of the choral environment. After a general overview of vocal technique, the chapters address the physiological, psychological, pedagogical, acoustic, and interpretive issues facing the solo singer in the choral setting. Concepts, such as phonation; resonation and timbre; approaches to diction; voice classification; choral blend; interpreting emotion; relationships among choral conductor, singer, and teacher of singing; and the use of vibrato are examined in detail. Concluding with a conversation with two choral conductors, as well as a glossary, bibliography, and index, this volume is beneficial to singers, teachers, and conductors alike.
