Rowman & Littlefield The Show Choir Handbook
Book SynopsisWith the popularity of television shows such as Glee, American Idol, and The Voice, show choirs have become a vibrant component of college and high school music programs. Music teachers must not only know how to teach choral singing for popular music, but also be versed in show design and production. In The Show Choir Handbook, Alan L. Alder and Thalia M. Mulvihill address both song technique and show presentation, giving show choir directors the full set of tools they need for successful performances.The Show Choir Handbook is a resource for current and future music educators who administer show choirs. With most literature on the topic either out of date or focused on the teaching techniques limited to vocal jazz (drawing on the choral genre's origins as swing choirs), instructors are in dire need of a resource that addresses music produced by publishers and choral arrangers.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction and History of Show Choir Chapter 2: Budget, Short and Long-term Fundraising, and the Ultimate Fundraiser: Hosting a Show Choir Competition Chapter 3: Vocal Auditions Chapter 4: Dance Auditions Chapter 5: The Interview Chapter 6: Vocal Technique, Production, The Rehearsal, and the Physical Aspects of Singing Chapter 7: Choosing & Working With a Choreographer, and Dance Rehearsal Without the Choreographer Chapter 8: Designing a Show Choir Show Chapter 9: Costume Design and Selection, and Make up and Grooming Chapter 10: Accompaniment and Sound Reinforcement Chapter 11: Other Considerations Chapter 12: Conclusion

Hal Leonard Corporation The Heart of Vocal Harmony
Book SynopsisMost choirs spend their rehearsal time focusing on notes rhythms and precision. They rarely if ever discuss a song''s meaning and feeling even though those elements are precisely what draws people to the music in the first place. Thousands of books have been written about choral technique teaching people how to sing technically well. What sets ÊThe Heart of Vocal HarmonyÊ apart is its focus on honest unified expression and the process of delivering an emotionally compelling performance. It delves into an underdeveloped vocal topic ä the heart of the music and the process involved with expressing it.ÞÊThe Heart of Vocal HarmonyÊ is not just for a cappella groups ä it is also for vocal harmony groups ensembles and choirs at all levels with or without instruments.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Breath in Action: The Art of Breath in Vocal and
Book SynopsisBreath in Action looks at the significance of breath to human life - not just the simple fact that if we stop breathing, we die, but also the more subtle ways in which our breath interacts with our voice and our being. Written by experts in vocal and holistic practice, the book is divided into four sections: Breath and the Body; Breath and the Mind; Breath and Holistic Practice; Breath and Performance. It offers the latest theories from a variety of disciplines on how we can be taught to breathe better so as to communicate better, act or sing better, feel better, live better. Combining theory with practice, many of the chapters also offer clearly laid out breathing exercises and techniques.Interdisciplinary in its focus, Breath in Action adds to specialist knowledge in the performance field, whilst also offering enlightening information for those interested in therapeutic and healing processes, movement, and voice and speech sciences.Trade ReviewThe mystery of breath continues to intrigue us. We still do not know all the answers but as Judylee Vivier says, there is nothing really new: "The basic principles are definitive but there are many doors through which we can enter the same room". On this basis, this is an intersting addition to any practitioner's bookshelf. -- Voice MattersThis is an inexpensive and fascinating book for those interested in finding out more about what influences the theatre voice practitioner. -- Speech & Language Tharepy in PracticeBreath in Action offers a rich tapestry of approaches to effective breathing that occasionally contrast, but mostly complement each other... The writers of Breath in Action are literally and figuratively filled with inspiration. May their wise words enlighten theatre artists for years to come. -- American TheatreTable of ContentsContributors' Biographies. Acknowledgements. Dedication. Foreword.
