A lot Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing it was, but really, after thirty chapters of Hines asking each singer the exact same questions, I was a little bored. I know, I know, that's the point. He wanted to get each singer to define what those sticky ambiguous terms--"breath support," "open throat," "placement"--meant to them. But it still made for slightly tedious going towards the end took me forever to get to Sills and Sutherland! Certainly a valuable I'm a singer, so this was automatically going to be fascinating to me. Certainly a valuable read, and worth looking back to. I loved Shirley Verrett's "chocolate" and "apple" exercises! View all 3 comments. Jan 07, Valerie Denney rated it it was amazing. This is a must read for all vocal Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing. There have been times where I would have a teacher refer to something, and I really had no clue what they were really talking about. I have a dark, deep voice and forward placement has been a nightmare to understand and hold onto. Also, what is legato? I have always been someone who has struggled with the legato sound, I think because as a child it was hard for people to understand me. I had been told to separate and pronunciate. This book clarifies so This is a must read for all vocal students. This book clarifies so many of the areas that I have driven teachers bonkers with. Jan 06, Jacqueline Bolier rated it it was amazing. I reread chapters every few months. Oct 09, Pearlie rated it it was amazing. I have not finished reading this book yet, but I thought I'd review it anyway, since I am not sure when I will finish it. And that is with the fact that I am kind of reading 9 books now at one go. The book started off well, and it was quite interesting to read what the singers have to say about some of the basics of singing. The author, Jerome Hines, interviewed about 40 opera singers to write this book, a chapter for everyone of them. He tries to find out several common things, namely breathing I have not finished reading this book yet, but I thought I'd review it anyway, since I am not sure when I will finish it. He tries to find out several common things, namely breathing technique, the passagio of passage in the voice, vocalising and warming up, support, open throat. I don't attend or listen to opera much, but I did learn some useful things reading into their accounts and views on singing. For example: "The voice starts in the mind, not in the body. My husband blamed it on me as he now could not listen to Kat Deluna sing without noticing her loud breathing. The other singer I found with extremely loud breathing is Lea Michele, who plays Rachel in the Glee series. We at Grace Notes finds it hard when we have to sing in the wee hours of the mornings when we were invited to sing in church services. You have to be born with it. Now I sadly know why. However, when I got to the middle of the book, I lost interest. Even though each of the singers have different views on their technique, being an amateur in singing, it becomes quite repetitive to me. But finish it I will, the one thing that will motivate me is the chapter on the late Luciano Pavarotti that I have not read. But then again, it is only because of all the singers Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing, he is the only one I know about. It is good. Nov 21, Rebecca rated it really liked it. If you are a singer and studying classically, this is a must read. For Me, it was as if all my role model singers were coming to life as the people behind their voices. Behind every great voice there is hard work, difficulties and triumphs. Jerome Hines was also a lovely narrator throughout, bringing in personal side stories whenever it pleased him. Even for the singers I wasn't already familiar with, this certainly helped introduce me to their work and their music. However, if you do not sing cl If you are a singer and studying classically, this is a must read. However, if you do not sing classically, you'll probably find this book quite dull. My brother, a musician himself, although with more mainstream and pop music, read about two pages before slamming it shut. Nov 02, Andrew Crane rated it it was amazing. This is one of my favorite books on vocal technique. Jerome Hines, a famous operatic bass, has interviewed many opera singers Pavarotti, Domingo, Rosa Ponselle, etc. It doesn't get bogged down in anatomy Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing technical language. Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing just each person's view on how he or she sings. I have referred to it many times in my career, and always recommend it to students. Domingo and Pavarotti's descriptions of the tenor passaggio are fantastic, as is Corelli's disc This is one of my favorite books on vocal technique. Domingo and Pavarotti's descriptions of the tenor passaggio are fantastic, as is Corelli's discussion of what it means to have a low larynx. Easy to read, filled with insights and anecdotes from some of the greatest singers in classical singing. Written by Jerome Hines, 6'6" Basso profundo, it is a must for any aspiring singer or opera lover. For the layperson it can shed light on the techniques and training that go into the vocal acrobatics performed by opera singers. View 1 comment. This is by far the greatest treasure on singing that has ever been produced. Hines was an exquisite basso that traveled the world and sang in the best opera houses. He also wrote an opera and was known for his scholarship. The likes of Pavarotti, Corelli, Caballe etc. Feb 17, Spook Sulek rated it it was amazing Shelves: worthwhile-textsbooks-that-inspire-images.

He appeared with the company for more than 40 years from An imposing figure - he was 6ft 6in tall - he had a voluminous bass Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing match his stature. Although always faithful to the Met, Hines made many forays Jerome Hines: Great Singers on Great Singing. That led to engagements in leading houses in Europe and south America, and eventually to Bayreuth, where he sang Gurnemanz, King Mark and Wotan His Boris Godunov, at the Bolshoi in Moscow inwas, by all accounts, a deeply impressive portrayal. Unlike his distinguished predecessor, Hines could also sing the German and Russian repertory, in addition to Italian and French. In all, his innate musicianship stood him in good stead. Most of his discs derived from live performances. They reveal a sterling voice, a refined style, consisting of a burnished tone, a fine line and exemplary diction, although he seems never to have have been a very profound interpreter. Hines was both a deeply religious person and a good writer. His last stage appearance was as Sarastro, in New Orleans inwhen he was All Rights Reserved.

Examination Committee Member Dean Gronemeier, DMA, JD. Examination Committee Member Joe Bynum, MFA. Graduate College Faculty Representative ii ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation provides information on how to develop the young dramatic soprano, specifically through more concentrated focus on the breath. Proper breathing is considered the single most important skill a singer will learn, but its methodology continues to mystify multitudes of singers and voice teachers. Voice professionals often write treatises with a chapter or two devoted to breathing, whose explanations are extremely varied, complex or vague. Young dramatic sopranos, whose voices are unwieldy and take longer to develop are at a particular disadvantage for absorbing a solid vocal technique. First, a description, classification and brief history of the young dramatic soprano is discussed along with a retracing of breath methodologies relevant to the young dramatic soprano’s development.

Through careful scrutiny of historical performances by great singers of the past century, I attempt to show that attentive listening can be a vitally important component of a singer’s technical development. This approach is especially valuable within the context of a mentor/apprentice relationship, a centuries-old pedagogical tradition in opera that relies heavily on figurative language to capture the relationship between physical sensation and quality of sound. Using insights gleaned from conversations with my own teacher, the heldentenor Graham Sanders, I analyze selected YouTube clips to demonstrate the relevance of sensitive listening for developing smoothness of tone, maximum resonance, legato, and other related issues. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................

Besides being great tenors, each of these singers share the fact that they transitioned from baritone to tenor. Perhaps nothing is more destructive to the confidence of a singer than to have his vocal identity or voice type challenged.
