A unique singers' and musicians' companion, a go-to manual for help and support, a keepsake, a reference book - concept curated, compiled, and edited by two experienced, Australian based, arts supporters. Christine Sullivan is an international singer, recording artist, performer, and teacher, Monika Roleff is an arts worker, word and arts festival co-ordinator, writer, and author. Both are voice enthusiasts with a rich ancestral heritage in the field. The vision was to pull together a valuable tool in book format, using a selection of questions, anecdotes, quotes, and words of wisdom, directly from professional artists, technicians, musicians, and singers. The project provides an inspirational platform of experience-based advice for aspiring students, teachers, arts/music organisations, and the general public, interested in the life and journey of the singer. Primarily, it's a gift of words of wisdom from industry elders, and emerging talents from different musical generations, genres, and age groups, to be used by the reader as an industry guide. This is the first edition. Updated editions to follow.Review - Leon Gettler - Freelance Journalist - Arts - The Melbourne Age/Herald Sun - The Singers Companion - Christine Sullivan and Monika Roleff."This is a massively ambitious book. It gives the perspectives of singers and performers, crossing all ages and geographies. It gives them the platform to speak about their personal experiences in the global music/entertainment industry. Each singer and performer writes in their own style. Every artist has their own story and this tells us some of their crazy adventures. With questions and answers, they were asked about their histories, their influences, their approaches to music. They give tips to aspiring singers and talk about their own approach to their art. Each is different, every artist has their own unique story. Reading this book and it makes you feel you are reading about a giant family. Indeed, many came to their art because of their families. Like Monika Roleff and her paternal grandparents, grandparents and parents, Ruth Adele's parents, Susannah Coleman-Brown's father who was a poet singer/songwriter and artist, Mez Evans' maternal and paternal grandparents who were great singers and musicians, and her mother was a renowned opera singer. For Justine Jones, it was her grandfather and father who was a drummer. While a lot of them share common ground and influences, they all have their own unique perspectives. Bridgette Allen's influences are Shakespeare - for perspective of poetic prose, Maria Callas for relative pitch re: mezzo soprano, Carmen McRae for lyrical gesticulation, and Duke Ellington for an overview of band etiquette. Nichaud Fitzgibbon talks about learning from Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Tina May and Kurt Elling and working with Pharoah Saunders at Ronnie Scott's. Joe Chindamo, pianist, who has worked so many great singers like Dame Shirley Bassey Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, OliviaNewton-John and Sofie von Otter, says singers and musical performers are one. Jazz Singer Linda Marks from Boston USA talks about the challenges facing singers: 'In our streaming era, if I spent ten thousand dollars to make a quality professional album, it is not clear how to make the financial investment back. It means I need to work two professions: one which can support me financially, and music. Our society does not recognize the work, time, and heart/soul a musician must invest to do their craft, and the compensation systems are not designed to pay professional performing singer/songwriters a fair wage.' Which results in some solid advice from Anita Harris: 'Don't. Work. For. Nothing.' All up an important book for singers and performers. It's full of insights and advice letting everyone know they are part of a global community. That is where the real value of this book lies."

(Limelight). The Singer's Companion combines the author's extensive research on hundreds of professional singers' and singing teachers' books with 30 years of personal teaching experience. The book concentrates on traditional vocal and artistic development, as employed at the most renowned universities and conservatories. At the same time, the presentation is extremely practical and accessible. The language is simple, and minimal space is given to theory. As each aspect of good singing and artistry is explained, enlightening quotations from dozens of the best singers and teachers, such as Enrico Caruso, Luciano Pavarotti, Eileen Farrell, Manuel Garcia, and Emma Seiler, help the singer to grasp the concept. The building of the vocal instrument and the artist is the focus. Topics include stance, breathing, phonation, resonance, range, health, choosing a teacher, vocal exercises, musicianship, pronunciation and diction, interpretation, performance, and selecting material. Many illustrative diagrams appear in the text. The book includes exercise sheets, sample songs, and an illustrative CD. Any singer, from the would-be professional to the diligent choir member, can benefit from this easy-to-use, thorough companion.

The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing, Volume II: Education examines the many methods and motivations for vocal pedagogy, promoting singing not just as an art form arising from the musical instrument found within every individual but also as a means of communication with social, psychological, and didactic functions. Presenting research from myriad fields of study beyond music—including psychology, education, sociology, computer science, linguistics, physiology, and neuroscience—the contributors address singing in three parts: Learning to Sing Naturally Formal Teaching of Singing Using Singing to Teach In 2009, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada funded a seven-year major collaborative research initiative known as Advancing Interdisciplinary Research in Singing (AIRS). Together, global researchers from a broad range of disciplines addressed three challenging questions: How does singing develop in every human being? How should singing be taught and used to teach? How does singing impact wellbeing? Across three volumes, The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing consolidates the findings of each of these three questions, defining the current state of theory and research in the field. Volume II: Education focuses on the second question and offers an invaluable resource for anyone who identifies as a singer, wishes to become a singer, works with singers, or is interested in the application of singing for the purposes of education.
