Review # 1 was written on 2016-07-19 00:00:00 David J Phillips-lloyd This book is very useful for anyone interested in vocal technique and its history. Marek gives a strong, concise history of the art of singing dating back to antiquity and then proceeds into a more technical discussion of technique. Marek does not provide any "new" information in this book, but provides more of a synthesis of the many great pedagogues from the 1600's forward. I personally found the section on vowel modification a little much, but that is due to my own personal pedagogical beliefs. The author seems frankly a little too enamored with Coffin's findings, but again I do not hold that against him as I am sure he was aided greatly by Coffin's teachings. Overall a good book and the exercises at the back will be a good addition to a teacher's repertoire.
