Inhaltsangabe

There has never been a book like it!

Dive into a step-by-step process for embracing a mindfulness practice by allowing your raw natural singing voice to be the ultimate bio-feedback tool. Mindfulness and Singing have a natural affinity as they both require a sense of presence. The Mindfulness of Singing fulfills a dynamic niche in the explosive mindfulness market.

Change your habits, change your life and let singing be the tool that provides you immediate feedback. Readers will be guided through the authors’ four-step “SING Method” which brings awareness to one’s mind, body, and spirit. Applying the actionable hands-on tips creates a vibrant and more fully present lifestyle, which enriches one’s authentic voice.

“The Mindfulness of Singing, Creating a Harmonious Mind, Body and Spirit book is one of the most thoughtful, brilliant and knowledgeable books I have ever read on the topic of singing. It was great reading about many practical techniques and lifestyle practices such as how much water to drink, how to breathe properly and what to eat in order to optimize vocal precision, performance energy and your overall well-being. Not to mention, I loved the chapter on meditation. Denise and Toni did an excellent job at simplifying complex topics such as meditation and making it crystal clear on how to incorporate these beneficial practices into one’s daily life. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking practical fun tips on how to perform at your highest level while feeling and looking great. Hats off to Denise and Toni for putting this brilliant book together. I will find myself coming back to this book over and over again.”
— Jillian Speece, Indie Folk Rock Singer-Songwriter, Emmy Award Winning Artist from The Bergamot, New York

“The Mindfulness of Singing thoughtfully addresses the singer’s interior journey through an approach that is both practical and personal. Denise and Toni offer a range of useful strategies to align mind, body, and spirit, which will guide the reader to benefits far beyond the voice."
— Dean Southern, DMA, NATS Master Teacher, Vice President & Dean at the Cleveland Institute of Music

"The Mindfulness of Singing strikes just the right balance of information and practice. The quotes help the reader to feel settled for the section ahead. Its central pedagogy, SING, and targeted applications, are in just the right balance. The personal story telling is powerful and creates a welcoming environment allowing the reader to tailor the content as needed. I really appreciate the authors willingness to share their knowledge. The book does a good job of pointing the reader to their website and podcast for more information without pushing itself.

Chapters 3 and 4, the book's center, are chalked full of clear, relevant research and practices. It is impossible to keep reading because it compels you to get up and get to the party! The journal kickstarts are really helpful and what book on singing has ever included a recipe---valerian root has been my friend for years. I used to call it stinky tea. I am definitely going to try the jello!

An engaging and thoughtful read, the fine work of these two authors distills centuries of knowledge, practice, and modern research into a thoroughly accessible and practical text for anyone—novice to professional singer, beginning or advanced, studio teachers of all styles (or really, any subject!), stage directors, and conductors. I will most certainly keep this gem near the piano as a companion for when those long days and semesters of teaching and singing need a kickstart!"
— Sarah Holmon, NATS International Region Governor and Professor of Voice at Wheaton College
