Solo Singer in the Choral Setting

This handbook offers a unique perspective of choral singing from a soloist's viewpoint, providing a clear outline of several issues facing the solo singer in the choral setting. It discusses concepts as diverse as body position in rehearsal and acoustic sound production, and it offers practical ideas and solutions to these challenges. Teaching examples and case studies help illustrate the problems and potential solutions for handling the challenges of the choral environment.
