Publisher Description:
This reprint of D. A. Clippinger's excellent manual on singing possesses over thirty illustrations of musical staves from his original guide.

An exceptional primer on singing and voice training, The Head Voice and Other Problems assumes only the most basic musical knowledge on the part of the reader. As such, it is an excellent introduction to musical theory and the voice as an instrument, providing easy, clear instructions on the best singing practices. The book is divided into nine chapters, each of which offers a lesson concerning relevant and specific topics.

This guide was written to aid both students and teachers of the voice, and includes explanations of singing's purpose and function as an art form together with practical guidance on calibration of the voice, and the study of specific songs. Guidance is given on notation and the musical scale, so that aspiring singers may understand and follow written music. Finally, the text concludes with an interesting essay on the scientific elements of singing.

The methods of voice training Clippinger describes remain as practical, thought provoking and useful today as when this book was first published in 1917. Together with the original, essential illustrations, this edition also includes a useful bibliography which contains plentiful supplemental reading.
