This single text offers a solid foundation admirably suited to students’ needs….. Well written, coherently organized, and in an attractive format, this book is highly recommended both as a basic diction text and as a standard reference.”

Excellence in Singing Series textbooks
(Beginning the Process, Mastering the Fundamentals, Advancing the Technique, Becoming an Artist, Managing Vocal Health)

“Excellence in Singing is one of the most comprehensive books on the voice that could be used by vocal pedagogues, by the developing artist, and by the listener who would like to understand a little more about the process and development of a singer. It's clearly written, well-explained, and the closest one may come to discussing the development of an artist without knowing each individual. The detailed illustrations are particularly useful and beautifully presented. It's a pleasure knowing that book is made available to the public.”

~ Martina Arroyo, Metropolitan Opera, New York and Distinguished Professor of Music, Indiana University-Bloomington

The colorful graphics and animation provide dynamic demonstrations of respiration for sound production and of laryngeal anatomy and physiology. All in all, this series provides excellent teaching aids.”
