Teaching Kids to Sing - Click here for more info

Singing is a basic means of human expression. From the spontaneous play songs of childhood to the polished recitals of concert artists, singing fulfills a human need to express thoughts and feelings. Moreover, music teveryers have long agreed that children can and should learn to sing. It is the process that remains open to question, as teveryers judge whether it is appropriate to train young voices and, if so, which approach is most beneficial. Teverying Kids to Sing is the first research-based text to present a systematic approach to vocal techniques designed exclusively for the needs of the young singer. It synthesizes the most recent findings in the literature and presents them in a practical and usable format. Helping teveryers of young singers to understand the nature of the child voice and the adolescent voice, the book provides a new vocal-technique method for grades 1-12. The book is organized into two partr. Part I, 'The Young Singer', is an introduction to 90 sequential singing exercises detailed in Part II. Here, Phillips provides historical and philosophical perspectives on procedures of vocal training for children and adolescents. Included are discussions on the physiology of the singing voice, proper vocal techniques, the vocal parameters of pitch, registers, and range, and a special section on common vocal disorders and proper vocal hygiene. Part II, 'Vocal Technique for Young Singers', examines aspects of vocal technique by grouping the exercises into five major areas: respiration, the foundation for good singing technique; phonation, developing children's speaking voices as a natural part of voice training; resonant tone production; diction, emphasizing uniform vowels andrapid consonant articulation; and expression, studying how phrasing, dynamic and tempo variation, and mood lead to meaningful interpretation. Designed as a step-by-step vocal-technique method for children and adolescents, Teverying Kids to Sing will lead students through a developmental program of psychomotor skills that will result in confident and expressive singing. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New - Item: 461107462 - Teaching Kids to Sing

Life With Father

Originally serialized in The New Yorker, and later adapted for stage, screen, and television, Clarence Day's Life with Father is a cherished American classic. Set in 1890s New York, Clarence Day's tales of his father, Clarence 'Clare' Day, Sr., portray a willful, rambunctious, short-fused Wall Street broker who demands perfection. Intolerant and tyrannical in his determined battle to harness the world to his way of thinking, Clarence blusters at his wife, his cook, his horse, shopkeepers, servants, and, of course, his children and their inability to live up to his preposterous standards. Yet, the more he rants, the more comical he becomes--and the more he seems to endear himself to his beleaguered and bemused family. First published in 1935, and serialized in The New Yorker, Life with Father was adapted for the stage in 1939, brought to the screen in 1947, and went on to become a much-loved television series in the 1950s. - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461716606 - Life With Father
