Inhaltsangabe

Breathing for singing is a controversial topic and rich in folklore. Hixon (speech, language, and hearing sciences, U Arizona) describes the anatomy and physiology of singing, discusses optimal use of the breathing apparatus for singing, and dispels myths that surround breathing for singing. The final chapter features exercises and will be of special interest to singers and singing teachers. Both author and subject indexes are included.
