Description
In the much anticipated *Singing in a Jiff: A Guide to Creating Sustainability, Kristie Knickerbocker invites anyone who sings, regardless of performance experience or lesson experience, to apply research and voice science easily while connecting with their instrument to create sustainable vocal sound for years to come.
Singing is an art, a way to communicate, a way to express emotion, and a therapy. Involving the reader in every step of the singing process, Kristie provides knowledge of vocal anatomy and music theory and how it applies to singing. She combines vocal athleticism and science into how singers should view vocal warmups, cool downs, and everything in between. Finally, she arms singers with the knowledge of how myths about singing and vocal health can be supported (or disputed) by science once and for all.
Share her lens as she creates a safety plan for the singer who might possibly injured, as she was in 2006 when she was diagnosed with a vocal cord cyst which rerouted her life’s purpose as she recovered and healed both internally and out. Let her provide you with the most recent and applicable research information as you apply it to your most important asset: your singing voice.
WHAT?
The book has 4 sections. All information has research article references from peer-reviewed journals and books carefully crafted into layman’s terms so that anybody who sings can debunk myths that have to do with singing.
