Publisher's Synopsis
The Essentials of CoreSinging: A Joyful Approach to Singing and Voice Pedagogy presents a unique and innovative outlook by Meribeth Dayme, one of the most important voice pedagogues in modern times. CoreSinging offers a universal approach to singing applicable to any style or level of singing and performance, designed to function as an adjunct or supplement rather than replacement to any other system of singing. The ultimate result transforms fear of singing into joy and ease.
CoreSinging is formed on five elements: energy, awareness, imagination, practice, and performance. Each of these elements is present in all stages and levels of singing from beginner to professional. Concepts of energy-physical, metaphysical, mental, emotional, psychological, psychic, and spiritual-help singers transform themselves, their sound, and their performance into an experience of healing for both singer and audience.
For the first time, Cynthia Vaughan and Matthew Hoch have compiled and edited this culminating work of Meribeth Dayme. Each chapter systematically presents an essential aspect, complete with exercises to practice and apply to studio and group teaching settings. Additionally, contributors offer targeted strategies through specific case studies for further implementation of CoreSinging principles into one's practice. Appendices also include other select writings of Dayme.
